While the topic is on HRD, I wouldlike to voice a question I have got on my mind for a long time:
I have been thinking of going into digital modes, especially RTTY and PSK31. I have got no experience in ANY digital mode so far and I have been a Mac only person all these years. Deciding to go into the digital field, I had to buy a WinTel laptop in the end, since the Mac SW I could find to work on my historical Macs (newest of which is a G3/300 beige running 8.6) were practically useless. Anyway, I did some research on freeware/shareware software available for WinTels that would also do logging for me. The initial list I came up with consisted of Omni-Rig, XMLog, WinLog32, CT, N1MM, HRD, KC4ELO, EI5DI, UCXLog, MM-Hamsoft and MixW. Going through their websites for their specifications I decided to chose either N1MM or HRD. Both seem to do PSK31 and logging without an external TNC. Both seem to do RTTY via MM-HamSoft's MMTTY Engine. Both seem to be able to control K2s. However, I would love to hear some first hand experience on the pros and cons of either (or any other SW that you would suggest). 73! de TA2RX ---------------------------------- Bekir Kemal Ataman ArchiMac BBS Sysop & Webmaster <http://www.archimac.org/> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
