Software


Below you can find my favorite software programs (all registered except freewares) I am using in the shack (and outside of shack of course! ).
Please, be kind enough to use only registered hamradio software (or to donate a small fee if so requested by the author).


Ham Radio Deluxe
http://www.ham-radio-deluxe.com/
A wonderful radio control, digimode, log and many other utilities software, a must have for the radioamateur.
To describe Hamradiodeluxe you have to write a small or not too small book, here I'll write some informations only. Please, visit again.


Here a photo from the DM780 digimode programme



Logger32
The very well known log, radio control and utility program (freeware). I am using it from my first steps in the hobby. Many thanks to Bob Furzer K4CY for Logger32.
http://logger32.net/

Logger32 can read the cluster, compare with your logbook
and show you on a worldmap which callsigns are new (red) country for you, are new mode (yellow) for you etc. All of this with a different colour. Furthermore can tune the radio to correct frequency, turn the rotor and... many more! 

Logger32 has many utilities, tricks and is free, thanks Bob again for continuous maintenance and new versions.
You have to read the manual carefully if you want to be a power user of it. Also you can join the dedicated yahoo group like me http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hamlogger/
You can work digimodes inside from Logger32

In the mean time, read also what other radio amateurs suggests, for example read the K5LAD's
"Features you might not know that are available in Logger32 "
page http://www.hayseed.net/~jpk5lad/Logger32%20Extras/L32%20Addl%20Features/L32%20Add%27l%20Features.htm



Adifmaster
With Adifmaster is a very useful tool for working with logbooks and is free. Among others you can open and modify ADIF logs very easy. Recommended.

Mixw
www.mixw.net
A very-well known digimode software, capable of decoding many digimodes. Interfaces easily to computer.
I recommend it to new digimodes users for its simplicity although today has been delayed to renew
Mixw today speaks many languages and ofcourse Greek,
also there is a help file in Greek thanks to the efforts of our
friend George SV8GGL, link for the help file:

IC706_BKT Icom 706 control software
