Jerry,
I have Win4K3 running with HRD and CW Skimmer, and some times, a few
other things. I would argue that you do not want to give up the
spectrum display with waterfall. Experience here has shown just how
valuable it can be. Marrying up Win4K3 with HRD as I infer you are
suggesting would disallow having the spectrum display. I have HRD as a
logging program with the add window open as well as a connection to one
of the DX clusters, but I have Win4k3's clublog window taking spots from
Skimmer, also. I usually don't miss DX opportunities this way. However,
while contesting, I will run N1MM+ as a substitute for HRD with a
connection to my Winkeyer. The total lash up can be a little complex,
but it is effective and smooth.
As an aside: I think I would put up the tower and run transmission
lines to the shack if the run was less than about 200 feet. Good, low
loss cable is expensive these days, but it would represent a much lower
level of effort than you are suggesting, and possibly cheaper in the
end.
I'm not sure to what you are referring about being busy. If it is
Win4K3, you can run the interface window such that it has less showing,
but the spectrum display stays as before; it's a setting.
To demonstrate how well all of this works I now have DXCC, mixed,
phone, and CW with an endorsement for 150 mixed, And, all of this was
done with just a KX3, KXPA100, and a few wires in the back yard.
73,

Oops.. I just thought it was dead because all of the videos are dead
links
and the youtube channel appears to have been deleted.
I currently own the Ham Radio Deluxe suite. I was looking at using the
Win4k3 to replace the radio control part and use the rest of HRD. I'm
wondering if it would be best to customize HRD or go with Win4k3? I'm
still
researching things. At this point I'm looking to modify the HRD radio
control interface (it's highly modifiable) but it's really a daunting
task.
The interface is ok but too busy. I was hoping to hear from other hams
how
they use/modify HRD..etc..
I don't want to get buried too far in projects that keep me off the air
but
don't mind the occasional distraction.
At the end of it all I may end up using Win4k3 if I am not able to get
HRD
to do what I want. I'm not sure how to properly leverage HRD as I seem
to
operate primarily in the logging software which includes the DX
cluster. I
see the Radio control screen as mainly a place to setup and store
configurations per band/mode/situation(DX/contest..etc) than something
to
run full time. Maybe I'm missing something ?
One thing I'm considering is to remote my rig to my shop. Then I could
have
a tower in the back yard without long feedlines (that contribute to
signal
loss). Slowly looking at that. The Raspberry Pi hardware looks perfect
as
the bridge platform.

Jer,
Win4K3suite is alive and well, and unless something has happened in the
last
few days, Tom va2fsq is actively supporting it.
In fact, that is the same Tom who answered about using comOcom earlier
this
morning.

Is anyone using Ham Radio Deluxe and is willing to share any
customizations ? I'm about to delve into that and don't want to
re-invent the wheel if someone has already done a bunch of it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Barry,
No, com0com is a software null modem cable used to connect two pieces
of software via a virtual port pair. It has no logic for operating a
k3. The reason it works for you is that you are using Win4k3Suite,
which has a built in router that performs k3 command routing. win4k3
has functionality that replaces lpbridge, and it uses com0com only as
a
connector.
