HRD 5.0 Beta Zero, HRD 4.1 One

I ran with Ham Radio Deluxe 5.0 for about a week, and it is still too buggy for me to use.

• DM780 will not allow focus to move to any other win­dow while transmitting
• DM780 had prob­lems with decode of PSK31 sig­nal, requir­ing reboot (sorry Pedro HI8JPJ)
• HRD Log­book Cor­rup­tion of a Log data­base record when try­ing to edit call­sign. It took the pre­vi­ous call­sign in the log. When I fixed it, the next call­sign took the “cor­rected” call­sign of the pre­vi­ous. Had to delete and inport an ADIF to cor­rect the entry.

I want 5.0 to work, but it just isn’t ready for my use yet. I am pri­mar­ily exited to have the log­book decou­pled from the applications…looks like I need to wait for a bit more maturity.

And they really need to build in LoTW log­ging automa­tion in a big way.

Back to HRD 4.x for me
