Ham Radio Deluxe

Ham Radio Deluxe is an indispensable helper for radio amateurs. The program assumes the functions of "logging" and transceiver control. The Ham Radio Deluxe suite consists of five modules: Logbook, Rig Control, Digital Master 780 (DM780, digital modes), Satellite Tracking and Rotor Control. To work with the transceiver, it must be connected to the computer through a serial COM port or a USB CAT interface beforehand. Rig Control then shows the frequency, mode and other settings of the radio and lets you change them from the computer.

Ham Radio Deluxe already has preset profiles for working with radio models from Ten Tec, Elecraft, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, FlexRadio and other manufacturers. The Logbook keeps records of contacts, tracks awards and works with LoTW, eQSL, ClubLog and QRZ. Rotators from Yaesu, HyGain, Green Heron, M2 and other makers are supported by Rotor Control.

Previously, Ham Radio Deluxe was distributed free of charge, as it was created by an "amateur for amateurs". Starting from the sixth version, the program has grown into a commercial project from HRD Software, LLC and is now paid for with a perpetual licence. However, users are offered a 30-day trial period for which they can easily decide on the purchase of a license.

Ham Radio Deluxe offers seamless control and logging for multiple transceivers, making it a crucial tool for radio enthusiasts.
