Joe, I don't understand - both HRD and DM780 can be re-sized. It is more practical to re-size HRD than it is for DM780 because DM780 has the waterfall display and the decoded text areas. In fact, I like HRD for control of the K3. Sometimes it is convenient to use the mouse or keyboard and other times it is nice to just use the radio controls - HRD follows the radio nicely. At other times, I use HRD with PowerSDR/IF stage too, and both HDR and PowerSDR fit on my 22 inch widescreen display. I do not use DM780 and PowerSDR at the same time. In all cases, the Logger can run in a background window.
With other than a widescreen display, things can get a bit cramped if you want to see the whole of HDR along with either DM780 or PowerSDR, but with a widescreen, all fits nicely. 73, Don W3FPR Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: >> As a graphic designer, I agree that the default Graphical User >> Interface in Digital Master 780 is a disaster.
