Ham Radio Deluxe 5.0 Build 2893

[Mandy Geise]

HamRadio Deluxe was a popular free to use and distribute amateur radio program suite that allowed remote control of most popular transceivers using CAT interface.

Along to a logging program, Ham Radio Deluxe 5 offered DM780 a multimode decoding encoding software that allowed CW RTTY PSK and more operating modes.

In 2011 Simon released the very last free version of ham radio deluxe, the version 5.0 Build 2893. Only this version can be considered the last free build completely compiled and distributed from Simon Brown HB9DRV.

At the end of 2011, Simon sold to the code to a private owned company that continued for some months developing new versions releasing builds from version 5.11 to 5.24.38 and kindly made available free from their web site.

For common reference, this was the original Licence Agreement of the last free version compiled by Simon Brown version 5.0.2893. This is the version authorized to be distributed for use by Radio Amateurs.

3. TERM. This Agreement is effective from the day Simon Brown grants this License, and continues until terminated. Simon Brown may terminate this License if You fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. You agree upon such termination to destroy this Product together with all copies in any form.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be deleted, and it shall not affect the validity of any other term or provision of this Agreement.

As suggestion I can tell you to not waste time looking for Ham Radio Deluxe Free version on google, you will end up with a lot of broken or removed links, search instead for the HRD_5.0.2893.zip file name, this will sharpen your search results.

My intention was just to help other hams, running old PC, to continue to take advantage of the great work Simon did, for our community, in the pure and genuine ham spirit, and not to create any damage or issue to anyone.

Does your software work with the Icom pcr1000,i have been given one,or is it now obsolete,i have tried different programmes to try and get it going on windows 7,also sent help requests all over,with no response,thank you.

Is it possible to add a new radio model, icom IC7100?

Or is it feasible to specify a similar Icom radio to mostly work with the 7100?

I realise I would need to change the ci-v address, but would the commands and audio mostly work the same?

I am retired and extremely disabled. Our income is very small (because I cannot work), and being asked to pay over $US100.00 for a program is very disappointing, no matter how good it is, and yes, it is really good but so are a few others and they are free.

Note : for Francis Toboni on the Icom pcr1000 , use the programe that came with it , but run it on your PC with a copy of Microsft vitual PC , with Window XP Loaded .

You must have 1 RS232 port free , USB To RS232 Converters will not always work with there timming

due to buffers. Works ok with mine with free RS232 , but it does mean you need a copy of the Windows XP to load onto the MSVPC .

I used your program for long time and then some one comes along and now people cannot afford the program. They just left us hanging and loosing lots of information. One hundred dollars is too much. I would be glad to pay for reasonable amount. What says they will not do the same thing agin. why do the editors make the program an reasonable price and I bet they would make more and help .ots of people. O>K> I am off the stump now. 73

Thank you so much Simone for keeping this available on your site. It has been years since I have worked digital modes and I am so glad that I can get back into it with one of my favorite programs. I was quite crestfallen when I went to the HRD site and could not find any of the older versions. You are a lifesaver. Thank you again!

Dear Simone

I just down loaded and installed 5.24.38 the problem I am having is it causes my computer to crash and get the blue screen and restart what do I need to do to fix this problem I have used HRD in the past and have enjoyed it very much and do look forward to using it again.

Reading the questions/requests on this thread, addressed to Simone is almost as much fun as using the F-R-E-E free version on the air. How anyone can READ threads then ask Simone for support is beyond belief.

Perhaps licensing requirements should be tightened up to remove these unworhies from our midst.

Thank you for posting the free versions of HRD. I try and keep my amateur activities separate from any commercial interests, and it irks the hell out of me when amateurs succomb to the quest for money, as did Mr. Simon.

Still HRD (v.5.24.38) can not retrieve any data from QRZ. All parameters are set correctly (select QRZ on first page and the XML option on second page), callsign check from testing XML box returns correct data of callsigns entered, but when pressing OK and returning to Logbook page, if you check again whether it did hold the settings there is nothing kept and all there are, are the default settings. So it seems software does not keep the selections entered.

hello.

I have the latest HRD 6.2.3 and it works perfectly.

For a recture about digital mode for young hams, I downloaded the free version 5.24 and was surprized to find out ( in my case) that the SuperSweeper has ony PSK SELECTION WINDOW. Is it so for this version or its is a specific problem in my case?

my HDD crashed so I have lost my version of HRD 5.25, fortunately I backed up my logs but not the program. I tried a trial version of V6 and honestly I cant justify almost AU$150 for very little advantage over the original V5 now I notice the have replaced all the links to the free version with links to V6. with this in mind, does anyone please have a copy of Does anyone please have a copy of HRD 5.25.36 ?
