1. Ham Radio Deluxe For Mac

Ham Radio Deluxe - DX Cluster Analysis. Top 50 ALL UTC Spotter Comment; W4NNK: 14259.5: 23 Jun 00:06. Integrate Ham Radio Deluxe when using OmniRig and VSPE (or other VSP programs) with SDRuno, HDSDR and now SDR-Console (VS 2 or 3) all the programs and the radio begin to go crazy. Courtois ta 11 mouthpiece. Frequencies, (including bogus frequencies) modes, Transmit/Receive, transceiver lock, and a panoply of bands all.

As my radio activity is 99,9% digital I and there are some questions on how towork with digital modes and programs I will create some tutorials here and I willstart with Ham Radio deluxe, for which I am also a beta tester.There have been other tutorials both from FlexRadio and on this forum on digitalmodes. My tutorials refer to the newest versions at this date September 2015.I run all programs on Windows 7 Home Premium both 32 and 64 bit.Setup for Windows 10 should be the same as for Windows 7, although there have beenreports about problems with virtual ports. Be careful to totally remove SmartSDRfrom your PC before you install Windows 10, then reinstall, having saved yourprofiles beforehand.Setup of digital mode programs often opens server ports.

You have to allow themon your system, so have a look at both your firewall and antivirus programs ifthere is no connection. The OS can also create a problem concerning userpermissionsPlease tell me about improvements to the tutorials and issues not reported here.A. Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD)1. Download HRD:Installing the package will get you a lot of programs.You will NOT need HRD Rig Control, as SSDR is doing the job for you.The other HRD programs like Digital Master 780, HR Logbook, Rotator control,Satellite tracking will connect to HRD server port 7809 and connect to SSDRvia external programs: DDUtil or MiniDeluxe.2. Download DDUtil V3: ordownload MiniDeluxe:DDUtil will give you a HRD server port and a whole lot of options to control amps,antennas and so on, whereas MiniDeluxe is a small program which just gives youa HRD server port. Both programs replace HRD Rig Control, which is unnecessaryand clogs up your CPU.3.

In SmartSDR CAT notice the port which was created at installing it and to which3rd party programs will connect, in my case COM6:4. Create a virtual PTT port in the Serial ports tab clicking 'Add a port', then'PTT' and you should get a COM port pair (COM7-17) in this case:Notice that I have also created a dedicated CAT port pair (COM8-18) which youneed only if you want to connect other programs which can't use a HRD server.The COM port numbers can vary on your pc! Be careful that the newly createdCOM ports are not used by other, already existing, devices! You can create alittle batch file, which I call 'View Devices'. Just copy the lines into your editorand save the batch file as 'view devices.bat'set devmgrshownonpresentdevices=1set devmgrshowdetails=1start DEVMGMT.MSCNow you can see all your COM ports, even the hidden ones, if so clicked.This is my list, yours will show different ports:Sometimes two ports with the same number can crash Windows. In that caseyou have to restart in protected mode and change the numbers or deinstallthe offending driver.5.

Setup for DDUtil:You see that Signature radio with COM port 6 is selected, HRD Apps is enabledwith port 7809 and version 6.2 is ticked. The COM port number can vary on your systemand relates only to my setup description!or6. Setup for MiniDeluxe:Be careful to tick SmartSDR. The COM port number can vary on your systemand relates only to my setup description!7. Setup for Digital Master 780 (DM780):a. CAT setup is via HRD server port 7809:b.

PTT setup is a port number, in this case 7:c. Soundcard setup:d. Logbook setup:Your startup screen should show this now:8.

Special case: The new RTTY mode and DM-780a. Set Reverse:b. Click 'Center Frequency', then place decoder into RTTY band:Notice that 'C' for Center stays at the CW setting. That doesn't matteras transmitting will now be on spot and not on a split frequency.9. Setup for HRD Logbook:This is quite straightforward, as HRD Log connects to the same HRD server port 7809Update speed should be set at 'Normal', as 'Fast' tends to create problems with thelogbook.All other HRD programs also connect to HRD server port 7809, which can equallybe used for WSJT-X and other programs.

Hi GerryI still use HRD as my main day to day logging program because of its seamless interaction with DM780. I find my days of running PSK are VERY rare now and N1MM+ with multiple RTTY programs running is superior to DM780 RTTY.With this in mind I have toyed with making the jump back to Log4OM. The only “issue” I have with Log4OM is OmniRig does not properly handle modes lik native Flex RTTY mode.If Log4OM 2.0 ever becomes a reality and includes IP connection to the Flex then I would switch.HRD has made a lot of big fixes for a while but again has gone stagnant.I guess it boils down to what you are comfortable with. Drop me a line an we can discuss offline.

We still need to get together.73Dave wo2x. Hi Alex,Thank you for this tutorial.

Bob, please also look at your soundcard settings in Windows.The DAX settings should be at 2 channel, 16 Bit, 48000 Hzand levels fully to the right.Your default soundcard should be the one in your PC, not theDAX channels.You can also use this tool:to list all your hardware and virtual soundcards.My DM780 audio level loos like this:Concerning digital modes: You'll soon get a feeling for them, as mostOPs haven't set their RSID in DM780. PSK modes mostly keep to theirassigned frequencies.This website gives you a visual impression how they look:73, Alex DH2ID. Alex, first, an excellent tutorial, very much appreciated!! I have everything working except the PTT capability. I can receive digital signals on DM-780 with no issues, but cannnot transmit. I am using HRD 6.3, SmartSDR 1.5.1, and DDUtil ver 3.2.2. My com port setup is exactly like yours, with COM 6 being used by SmartSDR with the Com 7-17 pair set up for PTT.

I am running this all on Windows 10 with a FLEX-6500. The only difference in setup from the tutorial was that in the DM-780 sound card options page, there was no transmit audio settings and I did not see any other program options that pertained to the soundcard. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.73.Randy, K0FA. Terry,Yet another option is to take Slice Master 6000 for a spin. Instead of using MiniDeluxe you can point your HRD Logbook at Slice Master's HRD TCP TX Listener and build a radio pane that looks like this:and your logbook will even follow the TX slice around.For DM780 Slice Master will let you build a radio pane that look like thisall without using any SSDR CAT ports and almost no configuration.

Just launch Slice Master, choose a slice, and tell it to launch DM780 for you. You'll still have to pick a DAX audio channel and set your levels properly, but other than that, it really is that easy.-Don. New 6600 user, new HRD user. Following this thread: last night set up Slice Master - works great. Set up HRD - did not connect with rig control but started logbook. The only radio pane I could find was in Tools/configure/radio pane and looks nothing like the picture above from K1DBO. However, I left it at localhost and normal update speed and changed port from 7809 to 7810.

It appeared to connect to SM as it tracked radio freq and band etc.This morning fired the laptop back up, started Ssdr, SM and HRD (did not connect rig control and went straight to logbook). Now HRD logbook does not connect to SM. No tracking available so have to uncheck tracking in the qso popup and manually enter band and mode. Not the end of the world but was nice when it was automatic.The Radio Pane Config still has 7810 as the port and appears connected (connect button grayed out). Changed the port to 7809 and it popped up a can't connect window.

Changed back to 7810 and 'connected' but still no tracking.I've been in the HRD manual and back to the SM guide but can't find anything else to configure, which make sense since these steps worked yesterday. No other programs running. I'm hesitant to mess with DM780 until I can understand what's going on.Would sure appreciate any help!Jim.

Hi Jim,If you are using Slice Master there is no need for the Rig Control component of HRD, but I think you noticed that.The Tools/configure/radio pane option you mentioned is the right one for connecting to Slice Master, but there are a couple of way to get to it. Under the View menu there is a Radio Pane option. When you enable that, you'll see the Radio Pane. Selecting the Options button at the top of the Radio Pane will get you to the same Radio Pane Configuration dialog you already found.The Radio Pane Configuration's connection tab should look like thisYou can you use the Default Layout tab to control how the Radio Pane will look in Logbook once you are connected.

To get the look you see above, try thisIf Slice Master is running and the HRD TCP TX Listener section of the settings tab looks like this:you should be all set, though you might need to press the Connect button at the top of the Radio Pane in HRD Logbook to make the connection.If everything looks good but your Radio Pane is blank, it's probably because you dont have a TX slice selected in Smart SDR. Slice Master's HRD TCP TX Listener is designed to track the slice with the red TX flag. If you dont have one selected, there is nothing to track and the Radio Pane will go mostly blank.-Don.

I used DM780 briefly with my previous rig (ftdx 3000) and seemed to do fine. However, I only had a few qso's before switching to the flex so will look at it some more.Previously in the thread:For DM780 Slice Master will let you build a radio pane that look like thisall without using any SSDR CAT ports and almost no configuration. Just launch Slice Master, choose a slice, and tell it to launch DM780 for you. You'll still have to pick a DAX audio channel and set your levels properly, but other than that, it really is that easy.I saw this from you earlier in the thread.

I assume this radio pane is built in DM780!? SDR radio is totally new to me: so if SM is running, dm780 finds it?Will have to read up on how dax channels work and figure out how to tell the slice to launch dm.So far, I'm really liking this flex radio but it's quite different from anything I'm used to so my pea brain is spinning! LolYou don't, by any chance, know of a video or step by step for dummies on how to hook this up?Sorry to be a pest.Jim. Jim, you're not being a pest and I'm happy to help.Yes, the screen shot is DM780, not Logbook as I may have implied. The configuration of the layout is similar to Logbook, but you dont have to worry about setting the connection information. Slice Master knows how to configure and then launch DM780 for you.

It assumes the DM780 executable can be found in the standard HRD installation folder.Since you are new to the world of Flex, reading up on how DAX and SSDR CAT work is probably a good idea especially if you want to use third party application that Slice Master does not support.But, with Slice Master there is a growing list of third party applications you can use with your Flex without knowing anything about how to connect them to the radio. Slice Master takes care of audio and rig configuration for you and arranges to launch the application either on demand or when certain conditions are met. Configuring the operation and user preferences of these applications is still on you.If you already have a working or mostly working DM780 installation on your computer, Slice Master should have no trouble finding it and re-configuring it for the slice of your choice.Here,I have Slice Master configured to launch DM780 anytime slice B is set to RTTY or DIGU. If a DM780 instance doesnt launch under these conditions the status line (which normally shows the radio type and your call sign) will tell you what went wrong.

You can hover the mouse over the status line to see previous messages.One of the things you'll need to check is that you've assigned a DAX audio channel to the slice, like this.It doesnt matter which channel you choose but note that a given channel can only be used by one slice at a time. If this still doesnt get a DM780 instance to pop up for you, it might be that either the DAX control panel is not running or that the DAX channel you chose is not enabled.In this example, RX Stream 1 should look like this:If not, give the '1' button a click or two until it turns blue.

The button for the TX stream at the top should also be blue, otherwise the TX audio wont make it to the radio.These DAX related steps apply to the other supported programs as well, though CW Skimmer uses a DAX IQ Stream rather than an audio stream. Those are set in SSDR on the panafall menu.Good luck!-Don.
