While Ham Radio Deluxe was free software, the new Version 6 is now a paid for product. It supports various radios from Icom, Yaesu and others – so give it a go! For example, here’s my slightly-customized front-end for my IC-R75 – definitely beats futzing around with the front panel to key in frequencies or live with its 101 memory bank size. Don’t let the name fool you – this software is perfectly capable of commanding radios for ham transmission or otherwise and gives you a virtually unlimited memory capability with banking, click-to-tune and mouse-wheel tuning, as well as a scanning spectrogram and record ability (you need to connect radio to the sound card). My favourite software for performing computer control is Ham Radio Deluxe. By connecting the RS-232 serial port on the rear of the IC-R75 to the computer, or the headphone/CI-V port on the IC-R20 to a CI-V level converter and then to the computer, software running on the computer can take control of the frequency and mode of the receiver. One of the perks of owning an IC-R75 “conventional” HF and IC-R20 handheld wide-band communications receivers is the ability for computer control.
