  • Chip is R820T, the frequency range 25-1700MHz

Feature:Sticks with this combination (RTL2832 + R820T) are relatively new on
the market. The main difference to all the other supported tuners so
far is that it uses a Low-IF (3.57 MHz) architecture instead of
Zero-IF. That means the tuner is only connected to the In-Phase ADC
input, and the internal down converter of the RTL2832 is generating the
complex samples. This has the benefit of having no DC offset spike in
the middle of the spectrum.

So far the tuner dr

Ham Radio Deluxe v5.1 Release Announcement

HRD Software, LLC Tampa FL, St. Paul MN, Pittsburgh PA – February 8, 2012 HRD Software, LLC announces the release of Ham Radio Deluxe 5.1. This version incorporates fixes and some new features for DXers.

“This is our first release since obtaining the source code about 90 days ago,” said Mike Carper, WA9PIE. “My partner, Rick, W4PC has done an outstanding job at becoming familiar with the code and developing the applications. We were fortunate to have a few key resources like Chuck, K7PT and Terry, G4POP to help us QA the builds as they’re developed.”

The 5.1 release is being made available at no charge to users registered on the HRD website. The focus for this release was a few items from the ToDo list – bug fixes, added rig support, and a few enhancements.

Mike said, “I think we’ve taken a balanced approach to getting something out quickly that satisfies a broad range of needs. I hope hams will enjoy the improvements. Obviously, this is only the beginning. We’ve got big plans and high-expectations for HRD in the future.”

Following the 5.1 release, HRD Software intends to focus on more fixes and significant feature enhancements for v6.x with a target release at the Dayton Hamvention 2012.

—————————–

Note from K3RRR:  HRD is a fantastic piece of software that I have used for years.  If you don’t already have it, download this new version.  It may be the last version that is free.  For those of you who don’t know, Simon sold the software to HRD Software, LLC of Tampa, Florida who intend to continue its development as a commercial (ie, not free) product.  For me, HDR was never free – I contributed via the Donate Button to Simon.  So, if the new company provides worthwhile enhancements for a fair price, I may be motivated to purchase the next versions!
