Topic: Ham Radio Deluxe 5.24.xx FREE VERSION Download Sites

[W1RC]

Great archive of several versions of the FREE version of Ham Radio Deluxe.

Ham Radio Deluxe was originally written by Simon Brown, HB9DRV and Peter Halpin PH1PH in 2003.  The software was distributed free of cost.  By 2005, there were over 20,000 registered users worldwide. Peter became an SK in June of 2005. Simon continued to make great progress through great participation of volunteers. By 2010, there were over 100,000 registered users and Simon?s interests turned to other endeavors.

In late 2011, Mike (WA9PIE) talked Simon into selling the source code and all rights to Ham Radio Deluxe to him and two other partners.  Today the paid version is 6.7.0.275 and the license costs $100.00.

Here is a description from their web page:  https://www.hamradiodeluxe.com/features/

The last free version was 5.24.0.38.  Here are a couple archives where it may be downloaded free of charge and NO adware, bullshit games, secret passwords, etc.

It is very good, especially with many radios from about ten years ago.  It works very well with the ICOM IC-735 as well as many other ICOMs, Elecraft, Yaesu, Kenwood radios
