We did the giveaway of the 30 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.120 h showing us. We did the giveaway of the FT five. When I 31 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.840 got to Hebrew City, which is where the new Buddy Pool headquarters is going 32 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:51.400 to be. And that was won by Bill W seven peed really cool guy 33 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.639 who told us a lot about the repeater system out there, about some some 34 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.599 win Lenk gateways that are out there and that kind of thing aprs beacons that 35 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.280 are out there. I was like, man, this beacon. This thing's 36 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.159 been beacon in all day. He's like, oh yeah, there's a APRS 37 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.680 a I get right there on top of that mountain that like eight thousand feet 38 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.879 or some crazy number like that. So that was fun. So congrats to 39 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.919 him. We had a lot of fun with that giveaway. Gonna do something 40 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.439 else like that in the future. So stand by, all right, we're 41 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.360 talking about Ham Radio Deluxe tonight and uh, we're going to bring Mike in 42 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.360 Wa nine pie. Is that right? I think that's right. So so 43 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.280 yeah, let's right, okay, So let's let's just hop into it, 44 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.599 guys. I gotta make sure I'm doing this right here, So I gotta 45 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.199 let Frank say something real quick. So Frank is in the chat and he 46 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.719 is or he's in the zoom and he's monitoring the chat for questions tonight, 47 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.479 guys, So we are going to take a Q and A. We're gonna 48 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.240 let Mike do a kind of a presentation type thing, an interactive type thing 49 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.680 tonight, and we will be taking a Q and A at the end. 50 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.759 So anybody who wants who has a question, if you tie the word question 51 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.159 in the chat, we can highlight it and be a little bit easier to 52 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.000 see what's up. Frank, not much, not much. I have something 53 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:14.439 to tell everybody. Well, give you everybody an update here. Yeah, 54 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.800 about my tumblers. If you missed the short little video I posted today. 55 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.600 I about two weeks ago, I got to notice that a package was going 56 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.040 to be delivered to my house. I said, yay, I don't know 57 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.079 what this package is because it was just starting to go show up kind of 58 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.680 randomly, and it was damaged. I got another notification say it was damaged 59 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:38.959 in transit and it was shipped back to the center I This Friday, I 60 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.600 called and I verified that was the whiskey tumblers, and every one of them 61 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.319 broke in transit. Apparently UPS thought it was a good idea to put something 62 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.920 heavy and decrease the box size by half. Oh well, so they are 63 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.199 reprinting them and getting those back to me. So there's a little bit of 64 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.319 delay. I'm sorry for everyone. Depending from here on Huntsville they show up, 65 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.839 they might need to I might have to push them until shipping them out 66 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:11.160 to everybody after Huntsville. But we'll just see when they get there. But 67 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.480 I can't keep that happened. Yep, I saw your video. You can 68 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.800 you can link that in the chat if you want to. Yeah. Yeah, 69 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.040 So all right, Well let's get to the order at hand, which 70 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.120 of course is Ham Radio Deluxe. Micael you you have a screen you want 71 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.879 to share with us tonight, I can, I think, you know, 72 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.000 if it's okay, I'm going to try to avoid kind of boring people with 73 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.360 a power point. We'll just kind of talk through it if that's okay. 74 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.839 I mean, there's a few things that I can show and I want to 75 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.120 show, and we canflict to that if okay, when we get to that 76 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.279 point, is that cool? Yeah? Absolutely? The floor is yours. 77 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.519 Good evening, and thank you for taking the time tonight. Yeah. Thanks, 78 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.879 And first of all, I want to thank everybody. Jason and I've 79 00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.680 been talking about doing this for a while. Jason doesn't live too far away 80 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.000 from me, so we got to meet for lunch here a while back with 81 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.839 Lyndy and set this up. So I'm glad to be able to be on 82 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:12.560 here. I want to thank all of the HRD fans worldwide, and you 83 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.160 know, it's really kind of why I do this and why I get excited 84 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.480 about it. And I also want to make sure, so I sent out 85 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:26.680 a newsletter over the weekend to fifty one thousand of our customers and ask them 86 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:33.920 to join in. So if you're joining Jason's show as a result of me 87 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:40.800 sending that, please feel free to subscribe to Jason's channel and support Jason because 88 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.120 what he's doing is really important. So do that and we'll, you know, 89 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.199 we'll be able to have these conversations and other really interesting conversations too. 90 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.279 So yeah, we've we've got some Mike and I, like you said, 91 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.000 we had lunch together a couple of weeks ago, and I came up with 92 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.240 at least three ideas about different show. I mean, we're not to do 93 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.720 all three ideas in one hour segment tonight, so we're gonna talk about one 94 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.560 or two topics tonight. Then we've got at least two I think at least 95 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.439 two other shows planned. No no dates we're gonna get together for more stuff, 96 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.040 so you guys are welcome to throw out suggestions on that part as well. 97 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.360 So yeah, definitely, do you do you remember how do you remember 98 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.120 how we met? By the way, this is so sweet. I think 99 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.959 we met at hamcom like five or six years ago. No, man, 100 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.800 we met you know, we met it. We met it dating because one 101 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.160 of the guys that had been working at HROO was working for me for a 102 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.360 little bit and then he and I took off to date and yeah, took 103 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.759 off to Daton and I had forgotten something. He said, oh, I 104 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.199 know somebody that that maybe they haven't left yet, and so they called you 105 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.319 up and said, oh hey, can you stop by and grab I don't 106 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.879 even remember what it was, I don't Yeah, stop buy and grab this 107 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.959 and he did so, and thanks for that, by the way. Yeah, 108 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.879 yeah, I do remember that. I was thinking that we had met 109 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.560 like the year before that ham Com, back when ham Coom was a thing. 110 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.040 But I do remember that that incident you're talking about, Yeah, that 111 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.879 was that was pre COVID, like twenty eighteen or nineteen somewhere in there. 112 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.160 So yeah, good deal. So anyway, so I'll talk a little bit 113 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.519 about ham Ray Deluxe, and you can see it a little bit on the 114 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.399 screens behind me the the that's kind of the familiar looking radio screen, and 115 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.279 I'll get to kind of how the radio screens and all that stuff's going to 116 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.639 change over time. But for the uninitiated ham Radio Deluxe, it's kind of 117 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.240 like the Microsoft Office of ham Radio. It's meant to have everything in it 118 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.360 that you want, and so for me, it's got most everything that I 119 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.600 want. But I'm always seeing somebody doing something interesting. I'm thinking, one, 120 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.759 yeah, there's no reason why we can't do that. And I'll get 121 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.120 to some of that stuffs here in a minute. But there are basically five 122 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.879 applications in the suite. There's a ring control application which looks like this. 123 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.639 There is a logbook application which has kind of, in my opinion, you 124 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.080 know where the power of the application and the and Hemery deluxeus in the log 125 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.240 book because it has exceptionally good tools for people who are hunting things. So 126 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:22.039 if you're hunting countries, zones, counties, states, grids, you know, 127 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.600 all that kind of stuff. It will tell you whether you're operating on 128 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.799 if you're in the d X cluster window or if you're in the HRD alert 129 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.039 window with ft four ft eight and so on, it'll tell you whether or 130 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.720 not you need that, so you don't have to keep a list of these 131 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.360 are my wanted call signs. The application knows what you need and it will 132 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.000 tell you when when that pops up. Now, in the next version, 133 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:54.120 we should have podas and sodas and worldwide flower and fauna flora and fauna. 134 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.159 So the current the current version is six dot eight, correct, right, 135 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.200 okay, so the next version is in six dot nine, we'll have the 136 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.440 soda and podist Okay, okay, absolutely, I'll talk about that here in 137 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.559 a minute. So you got lot book, you got Digital Moodes which does 138 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.519 everything that w S j t X doesn't do from CW and PSK and RIDDY 139 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.919 and all that kind of stuff. We have our satellite tracking application which will 140 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.559 in addition to our rotator control application, will adjust your radio for Doppler and 141 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:35.159 adjust your anten of erasmuth in elevation as the satellite passes. And we've done 142 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.360 some cool videos from when I was living in Australia where we were talking to 143 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.559 people blokes through the International Space Station as it goes by and that's a lot 144 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.759 of fun. I think that was one of the things we talked about we 145 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:52.360 might we might do for fun. But those are the five applications, and 146 00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:01.159 we currently kind of have you know, a you know few people on staff, 147 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.879 so there's you know me, but you know, I'm an unpaid volunteer 148 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:13.240 for the most part. We have Lyndy and Amber in the sales team who 149 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.240 take calls from people wanting to either buy or update their new features and support. 150 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:26.240 We've got Ferry in Europe PD nine FR and Kevin in Florida k C 151 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.919 seven FPF and they're helping folks out technically, and I jump in there and 152 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.440 help them on the both sides as I can. So that's who's involved. 153 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.120 For those who have been following us for a little bit, there used to 154 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.080 be three partners in Ham Radio Deluxe, So when I talked Simon into selling 155 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.720 it to me back in twenty eleven, we started the company with three partners. 156 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.080 One of them exited at the end of twenty sixteen, so Randy and 157 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.279 I continued the company from January twenty seventeen, and then two years ago, 158 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.279 just a little bit more than two years ago, I bought Randy out of 159 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.320 the business and so it's been me. It's almost a family run or family 160 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:18.200 owned and operated business at this point. So we're happy about it. But 161 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.480 one of the questions that comes up quite often is, well, you guys 162 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.799 sell subscriptions, right, and no, we don't. What we sell our 163 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.240 perpetual software licenses. So when you buy the software from us, you get 164 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.519 an activation key. That's the thing that has value, and you can use 165 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.559 it on any current or future version of HIM Radio Deluxe. And with that 166 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:48.440 initial purchase, you get twelve months of unlimited support, and you get all 167 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.000 the features that we release during that twelve month period. At the end of 168 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.240 that time, if you decide you know, this is great, does everything 169 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.840 I wanted to do. I don't need tech support. I don't need I'm 170 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.039 good with all the features I've got, So just drive on keep downloading the 171 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.120 new releases, because that's how you get bug fixes and improvements and things like 172 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.879 that. But that puts the puts the pressure on me to get releases out 173 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.240 that have new features in it that you'll want, and I'll talk to about 174 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.080 some of those things during the show today. If you want to buy new 175 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.600 features in support, you get a twelve month extension and the price on that 176 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.279 is usually half of whatever we're selling the full retail price. Cell. That's 177 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.600 that's the story on that. That sound reasonable, Jason, Yeah, I 178 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.440 mean I'm following what you're saying. Yes, completely cool. Yep. Let's 179 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:48.039 see. So what we've been trying to do, and you know, arguably 180 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.120 it's been getting difficult lately, is, uh, we want to make Cambray 181 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.799 to Deluxe the most indispensable thing you have in your shack, whether you're a 182 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.720 satellite operator or a casual you know, heag chewer, and you want to 183 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.039 keep track of the people you talk to if you're a contest or if you're 184 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:11.039 a dx er, if you're chasing podas or counties or whatever. We want 185 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.559 to be part of that journey with you. And in order to do that, 186 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.240 I've been putting pressure. So our developers, by the way, are 187 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:28.440 third parties, and we've got three working full time on us with us now 188 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.919 they're contractors, and so that's going fairly well, with some exceptions that I'll 189 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.960 get to and here in a moment. But our goal where we want to 190 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.799 be is doing four releases a year, with eighty percent of those releases being 191 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:50.120 fixes. And improvements, twenty percent being enhancements to existing features, and I'd 192 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.000 like to have two to four new features a year, with a new application 193 00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:00.519 every twenty four months. So let me talk about that from me. New 194 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:05.799 application, let's say a new application would be one of the things we're thinking 195 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.080 about doing. And we actually have this code kind of roughed in, but 196 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:16.240 we want to do something similar to other products that allow you to program your 197 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:22.600 memories and you know, the settings in radios, including HTS and Marble radios. 198 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.639 We don't do that today, so that would be a new application for 199 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.000 us, another new application. It would be one of the things that I 200 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.600 want to do is we've got another application that I didn't mention, and we 201 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.159 will replace that. It's called Mapper, and we'll end up replacing that with 202 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:48.679 something called hr Global HRD global View, and HRD global View will basically allow 203 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.399 you to put anything or everything that you find interesting on a map. If 204 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.679 you think about it, it's somewhat similar to grid tracker, I suppose, 205 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.200 but it's also whether and you know, earthquakes, and you know, if 206 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.840 you think about maybe what another product does with putting things on a four K 207 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.120 display, we want to be able to do that and you'll be able to 208 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.960 actually cast it to a four K display when it's done. We've started to 209 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.960 rough that in, so that's what's going on there. But for the most 210 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:25.200 part, what we've been working on lately is the six dot nine release, 211 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:30.240 which is predominantly Logbook, So let me talk about that for a moment. 212 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:36.320 Sure, Logbook and all of the all of the software. By the way, 213 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.840 the development began when Windows XP was a thing, right and really before 214 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:48.320 Windows XP Service Pack three, so it goes way back with version five in 215 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:55.000 the in the XP world, and as we're trying to make updates to hammerdo 216 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.799 Deluxe over the course of the last few years, for five years anyway, 217 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:04.559 it's becoming in reasingly difficult to do that because the code as it's written has 218 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:10.640 a whole lot of i'll call it baggage that's been carried across from you know, 219 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:15.000 Windows XP as well as to be fair, we've had a lot of 220 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.240 different developers in the software over the course of the last ten years, and 221 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.079 it was just I love developers, by the way. I've had lots of 222 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.359 them work for me. But every time you bring in a new developer, 223 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.359 they've got a new idea and they may not necessarily follow the path that the 224 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:37.559 last one did. So we've actually got a firm or a development firm working 225 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.759 with us now and they'll own the code from this point forward. That's the 226 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:51.480 plan. So we're rebuilding Hamryo Deluxe step by step, starting with Logbook. 227 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.200 I got with it. I told the guys I wanted and gal I told 228 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:02.160 them I wanted to release out by Dayton this year, and they came to 229 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.440 me in early May and they said that can't happen. They said, we 230 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.799 really need to rewrite this, and we need to rewrite it with tools that 231 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:19.119 are not Windows centric. So the interesting step on that is is that the 232 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:26.960 software has been developed in C plus plus with MFC, which is Microsoft Foundation 233 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:33.559 Classes. I think it's what it stands for, but it's correct very specific 234 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.000 Frank. Frank's a C plus plus developers. So now you're going to get 235 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.519 a lot of comments about how it's the greatest thing. Instance, I'm just 236 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.359 smiling all this kind of garbage, and you know the thing we make fun 237 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.559 of him for every week. So but no, go ahead. I thought, 238 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.880 well, we're going to talk about C plus plus today. I thought 239 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:56.559 that would bore almost everyone, But it turns up there are some people who 240 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.440 would say, no, man, I don't do C plus plus programming anymore 241 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:07.480 because I'm using you know, C sharp and I'm using But if you really 242 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.039 want to have an application that's robust, that can get all the way to 243 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:17.160 the kernel accessing hardware in a meaningful way, you're writing it inn C plus 244 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:22.319 plus period, and that's the way it goes. But we don't need MFC. 245 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:29.400 So what we're doing with logbook right now is the first one we're doing 246 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:34.480 where we're basically making a platform change from MSc to something called QT. And 247 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:40.079 I don't know Frank knows about QT or not, but basically okay, but 248 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:45.119 but QT is multi platform, right, So we're moving the code off of 249 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.880 MFC, or off of the old code base into a platform based on QT 250 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.960 and C plus plus and we can compile it in such a way that overrun 251 00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:03.039 on Linux or it'll run on Mac, and that's really important. We can't 252 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.440 continue, you know, I get a lot of grief lately because we don't 253 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.799 have the release out, and I get it. I got thick skin for 254 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:17.200 the most parts. I'll take what I'll take my lumps. But we have 255 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:25.480 a large community within him Radio of people that don't want to use Windows, 256 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.160 and we want to you know, that's a you know, that's a growing 257 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.279 and significant part of HAM Radio, and so we want to be able to 258 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.720 service those folks. And I have people coming to me all the time saying, 259 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:38.119 you know, if it runs on Mac. Well, you know, 260 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:44.880 what's the the disingenuous thing is is that I've got competitors in this business who 261 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.680 say, well, yeah, you can run our software on a Mac. 262 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.960 Sure you can't with VMware virtual box, running Windows in a box and then 263 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000 you can load the sod you know, to me, that's not that's definitely 264 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:02.839 not running your software in Knicks or Mac right, that's kind of dissigenated any 265 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.440 step. So we want to have software that will actually run natively sixty four 266 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:12.759 bit. So that's what we're doing, and that's why it's taken longer to 267 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:21.920 get this release out. That makes sense, yes now is uh? And 268 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.279 correct me if I'm wrong here, But I was thinking, because I know 269 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.400 you're working on basically two different releases right now, six dot nine and seven. 270 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:32.519 So the Mac and Linux version will that which one of those? Will 271 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.880 that be? Seven? Seven? Okay? Yeah? So what's gonna what's 272 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:42.160 gonna happen is we'll do a six nine, which will be and I'm the 273 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.799 numbers might not be exactly the way I'm going to pan this out, but 274 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:52.079 okay, you know, for for the monstrat person's purposes, six nine will 275 00:21:52.119 --> 00:22:00.279 be the logbook. Migration six ten will be the rig control, migration six 276 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.559 to eleven will probably be the you know, rotor control, and you know 277 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.960 DM seven eighty, and maybe we fit you know, the other three satellite 278 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.200 tracking, which most of those won't require as much work as what we're what 279 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.200 we have to put into two log books. So once logbook is done, 280 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.359 I think these things will go a lot more smoothly. The good news is 281 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:27.440 is that the kinds of difficulties that we have with the existing code based pretty 282 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.319 much go away with the new code based, and we'll have people who are 283 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.599 familiar with the code and they can make changes more quickly. Okay, okay, 284 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:47.440 let's see if I'm trying to think if I've forgotten anything that I intended 285 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:52.880 to bring out thinking this mostly but you know what's happening right now is I 286 00:22:52.960 --> 00:23:00.880 have three developers working seven days a week pretty much, and I get an 287 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.039 update from them once a day. I get a view of what they're doing 288 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:10.480 once a week. Things are coming along. I like what I see. 289 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.359 But it's just that it took ten years or more to build what what people 290 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.759 are using. It's not going to get you know, built overnight. But 291 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.599 they're making great progress, right. A couple of quick questions here, since 292 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:30.279 we're talking about portability across platforms, Nick is asking, are you going to 293 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:36.160 try to do a phone version later, a phone version, a mobile version? 294 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.160 Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean I want to do it. 295 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.839 Here's here's some of the things that I think need to happen in the hobby 296 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:49.200 in order to make that possible. Because right now, with maybe flex A 297 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:56.279 being the you know exception to this rule, every radio on the planet requires 298 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:02.160 a comport or a virtual comport for anybody's software to talk to it. If 299 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.000 you think about what goes on the Space Shuttle, I mean they probably still 300 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.480 have nine pin you know dB nine comports. It just takes so long to 301 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.720 get changes made and engineering like that. But all these radios right now, 302 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.839 all these radios really need to move to an IP you know, based connection. 303 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.839 I don't know that Bluetooth is the right thing for that personally, but 304 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.559 I think an IP connection for those so that we can access them from any 305 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.079 devices what needs to happen. Now, we can probably come up with a 306 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:38.359 bridge that's kind of a you know, a comport to Ethernet bridge, and 307 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:44.440 you know, we've talked about creating these little boxes that are basically interfaces between 308 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.200 the calm hardware and an IP you know, address, and we could do 309 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.200 all this, but all those kinds of things are the things that need to 310 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.000 happen for us to be able to do this on a Android or you know, 311 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:02.640 a device that doesn't have or USB cables, right. I mean, 312 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:06.960 I think it's funny because years ago, you know, we all had comports 313 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:08.960 in the PCs, and then they put modems in them, and then we 314 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.440 had you know, we had to go buy external Ethernet adaptors to pop plug 315 00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.880 in, and then everybody got those included. And now they don't even bother 316 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.000 to put that stuff in because it's all Wi Fi. So a lot of 317 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:25.960 those connectors are going away in the consumer PC markets and so on. So 318 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.400 we really need that kind of transition to happen for hand radio hardware. But 319 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.839 you know, look at us, you know, as a hand radio community. 320 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:40.000 We are frugal, man, I'm just gonna I'm gonna put it like 321 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:44.480 that. We are really frugal. So you know, we'll squeeze every ounce 322 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.559 out of a you know, TS four thirty n tell there's nothing left to 323 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.519 get out of it, right, And if we want to use radios like 324 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.920 that with you know, reasonably recent software, we need to have something else 325 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.480 for that. But yeah, look, you know, for Frank, the 326 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.920 other thing we want to do is we want to have cloud based databases for 327 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.240 people to access so that they can not They can either be working off of 328 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.119 a local database or they can work off of a cloud database. If they're 329 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.319 doing PODO, we want them to be able to work off the local database 330 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.279 and when they get home and connect, the stuff syncs up and then they've 331 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.720 got all their data in one place and they don't have to worry about exporting 332 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.880 adi of sending all this other kind of stuff. It just kind of works. 333 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.839 I think that was my question at Dayton or Huntsville when we were talking 334 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.240 about how you're going to use it in the field and podaing what other question 335 00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:44.799 about tech stuff here? Well, fast, are you publishing your development roadmap 336 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:49.599 so we can get a hint at features to come. I have published things 337 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.480 like that in the pastors a couple of things that we're working on that. 338 00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.119 Because we've got partners in it, I can't really say too much about it, 339 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:04.200 but that's a good answer right there there, say, but what I 340 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:10.319 want. I mentioned HRD global View. Work has already started on that. 341 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.880 I've mentioned the ability to program radios and memories and things like that. That'll 342 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:22.440 be a product called HRD Programmer. That's actually live code that's not one hundred 343 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.160 percent ready, but I've stopped everybody from working on those things so we can 344 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:32.319 get work done on six nine. Contesting is something else that we're going to 345 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.839 do that requires a third party that I have a general agreement with. And 346 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.920 when we get to the point where we can make progress on that, then 347 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.480 then you know, we're excited to be able to go down that path. 348 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.640 There's a whole lot of other things, you know, like you said, 349 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.400 Frank, I'm going want to be able to do you know, all kinds 350 00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:55.839 of mobile catchets, you know, enabling people to be more productive remotely. 351 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.599 So right now, for example, you can use hammer remotely, but it 352 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:06.240 doesn't remote everything that you need. So if you think about some of these 353 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.599 other services that are using hardware to remote something. We think we can do 354 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:17.559 that in software. So that's where that's going. Okay, that's very very 355 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.000 good information you want. Yeah, let me show you something if I can. 356 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:27.240 I'm gonna share a screen. I'm gonna share this. Okay, I'm 357 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:32.160 going to share the whole application just because you know, I've got a I 358 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.640 don't know if you've run across this, but I've got a forty nine inch 359 00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:38.079 screen. If I share the whole screen, it's going to be so small 360 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:44.799 that you can't see it. Yeah. Yeah, this is actual live code. 361 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.359 This is this is the look and feel that you'll get out of handwriting 362 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:55.240 delect version seven. This is live code for rig control. And the idea 363 00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.920 is is that you would be able to have you know, as many ready 364 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.720 as you want. You know, this is mocked up with an ninety seven 365 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.960 hundred, but there's another tab here for an fd D X one O one 366 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.000 D And if you had multiple radios there, just like you have today, 367 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:17.200 you would be able to connect multiple radios. And then if you have her 368 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.119 over a dial and you know I'm scrolling it that way, but if you 369 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:23.599 have her over a dial, you'd be able to scroll the dial, you 370 00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:30.880 can, you'd be able to type in frequencies directly. So that's that's where 371 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.599 that'll go. And like I said, I took this from Live Code, 372 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:38.200 but it's it's not ready yet. The menus will kind of start to look 373 00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:44.039 more modern as well, so we'll see in version seven how this stuff will 374 00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.599 begin to look like a more modern application. I mentioned HRD programmer. This 375 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:55.000 probably doesn't work too well on on screens, but basically this is kind of 376 00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:00.359 the typical spreadsheet view of you know, your memory and you can update them 377 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.559 and change them and get your you know, CTCSS codes in there and all 378 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:08.519 that happy stuff, so that when you program them you can you can do 379 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.359 it that way. We've kind of gotten by on. You know, you 380 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:18.599 can do favorites today in Hanryo Deluxe. So if you're an HR fan then 381 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.000 then that works great because if you move from radio to radio, you don't 382 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.079 have to program any memories. They're already in software. But for those folks 383 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.480 that want our program mobile radios and things like that, that's how that's all 384 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:36.000 gonna work. Let me see if I can un share my screen. There 385 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.440 we go, stop sharing perfect so that's that's where that stuff's going. That's 386 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.359 gonna be a lot of fun good that's Yeah, that sounds like some exciting 387 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.039 stuff you've got going on there for sure. But and I know we've got 388 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.920 a lot of Mike. If you're at a stopping point, we can switch 389 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.480 to the Q and A because I know we got a lot of questions that 390 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:59.599 came in and uh, I'm gonna unpin or I'm gonna let Frank down here, 391 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.839 hey, and then you can. Okay, Frank, I'm just gonna 392 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.559 make a disclaimer up front, this is not going to turn into a C 393 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:11.599 plus plus Okay, okay, okay, talking about Ham Radio Deluxe, this 394 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.279 Live Strike Alright, Don has already said. I know Don's already going off 395 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.880 about the cloud stuff, so you know that too. But yeah, no, 396 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.160 I know, we got a lot of questions that came in, which 397 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.920 is awesome. Thank you for all the questions. So we're gonna try to 398 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.559 get to all those. So go ahead, Frank. Do you have the 399 00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:32.200 top ones? Yep, I I kind of have sorted a little bit here 400 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:38.279 Ham Radio crib notes. Does it display like grid tracker you're talking about tracking 401 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.079 contacts? When that question came in. Yeah, it will. I mean 402 00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:47.079 that's one of the design objectives that if you're in a QSO or if you're 403 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.519 watching decodes come out of w S j t X or whatever, JTDX or 404 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.839 whatever you're using, the intention is for it to kind of show the path 405 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.599 of all those things. That's not hard to do and will do that, 406 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.880 but you know, we want to go beyond that. And really, because 407 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:10.920 your log exists in log book HRD logbook, it knows what you need. 408 00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.240 There's a lot of other programs where you have to enter in wanted call signs 409 00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:22.039 or wanted this we're not going to go down the wanted path because we we 410 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.519 already have the needed path under control. But it'll do that. It'll put 411 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:31.359 up you know, propagation, it'll put up you know DX, you know, 412 00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:37.359 maximum usable frequencies and things like that on the screen and other kinds of 413 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.960 things that you can get from live feeds. That's the intention. Cool. 414 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:46.079 Cool, I'm looking forward to it. Great man Poda is asking will it 415 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:52.319 have PoTA integration support both for activators and hunters. Yes, let me see 416 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.240 if I can. I'm gonna do now, I'm now, I'm going to 417 00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:01.000 do something really risky here, right, you give us my step. I'm 418 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:07.759 going to go to I'm going to go to the machine that is the one 419 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:14.240 that the developers are using here, and I'm going to show you something which 420 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:24.480 is really risky, right, all right, So this is a live view 421 00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:31.839 of the current test machine. This is what the developers are working from. 422 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:37.920 So they just dumped a bunch of data in it. And this is using 423 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.599 a sequel light for the database. I mean, if I double click on 424 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.240 this, like click, click, it's open. I mean, it's just 425 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.640 lightning fast. And again this is brand new code, so it does not 426 00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:52.759 carrying a lot of stuff along with it. But out here at the end 427 00:33:52.359 --> 00:34:00.759 there's a PODA tab and as a as a as a hunter, you know, 428 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.640 if I find that, you know, here's somebody, and it automatically 429 00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:08.519 will download this list of potas. So if you have an Internet connection, 430 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:13.760 it'll pull down the podal list and if you you know, you'll be able 431 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:19.559 to search for you know whatever. So that is the live activations PoTA spots. 432 00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.840 No, these are the this is the comes to parents the parks. 433 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.880 Okay, oh I get it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 434 00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:30.199 And that's what that That was one of the questions. We got to yet, 435 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.320 so you're answer, you're pre answering, So that's good. Go ahead. 436 00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.599 So basically, if you know, I'm just gonna click on you know, 437 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:42.639 bad Lands and select Okay, so it automatically fills in the park number 438 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.760 and all that kind of stuff. And and the way it's going to work 439 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:52.159 is it will automatically give the hunter the ability to point their antenna in the 440 00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:58.239 direction of the park. Right, and so SODA's the same thing. I 441 00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:00.719 mean, if I bring this up, I'll get a list of the soda. 442 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.880 You know, it's similar concept here, right, I mean if I 443 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.719 added that in these can't be both in the same location, right, but 444 00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:15.239 and the flora fauna now they can be. Well, here's here's something we 445 00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:20.280 stop. Yeah, that's why I said, you know, doing live demos 446 00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:24.440 is kind of a risk. But oh and here's by the way, is 447 00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:28.760 dark mode. A lot of people have been asking for dark mode. But 448 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.320 let's see now now I'm in an unfamiliar place. But yeah, good, 449 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:43.960 I need to move that out of the way. Right there we go. 450 00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:47.840 I mean, this is the same violence got I'm gonna get rid of the 451 00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:52.400 dark mode because I don't need it right now. Go back to blue. 452 00:35:53.280 --> 00:36:00.239 So if I you know, if if that's how it would work if you 453 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.039 were hunting, and I think, you know, if I hit this again 454 00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.960 that you know, they don't have that wired up yet, which is why 455 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.199 it's doing that. That's okay, let me start back up again. It's 456 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:14.039 going to start in dark mode because that's the way it's configured at the moment. 457 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:22.119 So if I come back to this one, if I might, and 458 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:28.559 I'm fairly certain they've wired this up now. By the way, this was 459 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:35.760 eighty percent done before Dayton and I did a live demo at dating on and 460 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:42.840 this is when we decided to kind of step back and take a little bit 461 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.760 different point of view on this. So this is where you could go and 462 00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.719 as a as an activator, you would go and pick your park, and 463 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:58.599 then it's gonna put you know, if it's on an island, it's gonna 464 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:00.840 put the island there. If it's got longitude and latitude, it'll fill that 465 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:05.639 stuff in. But then you know you're going to adjust. I mean, 466 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:09.400 if you had a park, if you were activating Glacier National Park or Yellowstone 467 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.840 it's a really big park, so it may span multiple grids and you kind 468 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.880 of have to work your way through. You know, am I really where 469 00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:24.719 the thing says? I am? I don't have the cluster connected here. 470 00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:30.360 But another thing this will do in the new version is there will be a 471 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:36.800 DX histogram which for all the DX spots it will actually show you by band 472 00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:42.239 and mode where all the activity is. And so that'll be pretty cool. 473 00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:47.840 That's awesome. Are you going to be able to pull down the live PODA 474 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:52.480 spots? Is that on the roadmap? That's on the roadmap. Here's the 475 00:37:52.599 --> 00:38:00.280 challenge right now, the PODA data doesn't come in the same format that DX 476 00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:07.440 cluster data. So you know, the whole the whole thing about d X 477 00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:14.159 cluster is we parse the data and because the data comes in specific field orders, 478 00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.920 we can parse it and display it. That's not the way PODA data 479 00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.760 comes. But what will what will happen is is that if someone in the 480 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:28.440 comments see if I can connect, but if someone in the comments has you 481 00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:34.840 know, part KA zero zero seven or whatever the number is, it'll actually 482 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.920 pull that into logbook and you can use it from there. But the data 483 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:45.119 that's on the existing PODA spot pages isn't in the same format, so we'd 484 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:46.760 have some work to do there. Does that make sense? That makes sense? 485 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:52.039 Ye, So as long as on the roadmap, I'm happy. Here's 486 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:58.320 another question from down here. One will the Yazoo ray control be fully functional? 487 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.360 Well, we got lots of Yasu rigs that are fully functional right now, 488 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:07.920 so i'd have to know which one he's asking about. So I got 489 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.039 so when I announced it, I was bringing you on tonight, Mike. 490 00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.920 A couple of people in my discord server yesterday and the day before we're asking 491 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:19.719 specifically about the eight ninety one. I've never used HRD with the eight ninety 492 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.199 one, so I'm not sure what they were talking about, but I believe 493 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:28.159 it was something around band switching for the for HRD recontrol for band switching. 494 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:32.480 So I mean, is there any type of something there that, let's look, 495 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:36.239 I mean if I went in here instead, I want to set up 496 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:45.079 a new new radio, and I think Yasu eight ninety one. I'm not 497 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.960 aware of any reason why there's something there that doesn't work. So if someone, 498 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:52.760 if someone knows of something that they say, well, yeah, I've 499 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:59.239 tried that. But here's this particular problem just started to hopping up with the 500 00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:04.039 one on one D he's talking about right now. Yeah, that that works 501 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:09.400 too. We had one of our one of our beta testers was our our 502 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:16.519 f t d X one on one D kind of lead on this. And 503 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.199 there's one thing that I'm aware of with the one on one D that's not 504 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.119 working the way we want it, and has to do with the meter display. 505 00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:31.519 Apparently right now it will display the meter that's being displayed on the radio, 506 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:37.039 and if you change it on the radio, I think it works fine 507 00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:39.599 in software, but if you try to change it in software, it doesn't 508 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.519 show it in software because it's still trying to show the one that's on the 509 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.079 radio. That's if I if I've got it right, I think that's what 510 00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:52.920 he's saying. The ALC, SWR and b WR aren't functional yet. Yeah, 511 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:59.320 yeah, that's yeah, that's that point. But everything everything else works. 512 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:02.320 But that's the one item that I'm familiar with it that will need to 513 00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:10.719 get addressed. Here's from Jose. When is it going to be available for 514 00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:15.800 the Mac? What are your targeting for that? Oh? I hate making 515 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:22.639 promises. I always get my backside kick. Okay, what's going is it 516 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.519 going to be? Well, yeah, we already addressed. Yeah, it's 517 00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:29.679 coming to Mac and Linux. We already addressed that the gaining the video. 518 00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:31.800 We have a lot more people watching now, so some of these answered the 519 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:37.559 questions were answered already. So yeah, and definitely I was locking it up 520 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:45.199 for that softball. Yeah, it's it's absolutely coming. The work we're doing 521 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:51.320 right now is and is designed to help us make progress towards getting multi platform. 522 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.960 Actually, you know what, in addition to multi platform, multi language, 523 00:41:54.000 --> 00:42:00.559 because we've got a lot of people wanting it in Spanish and Chaps and 524 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:05.719 German and so and so, multi lingual is a big deal too. But 525 00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:13.679 as far as the Mac version, I would love to see it by holiday 526 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:19.679 twenty twenty four. Awesome. And how's that same going for the Linux Yeah? 527 00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.440 Yeah cool Now i'd like I said, I'm not making a promise on 528 00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:28.519 it, but I mean, as we can get through the other applications and 529 00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:35.559 make good version seven out version seven out of the box probably will be the 530 00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:42.360 version that's multi platform. Radio Cruskada here is asking are there online videos for 531 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.800 training to how to how do you use your software? Yep, we've got 532 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:51.400 our own YouTube channel. There's a lot of videos on there. I mean 533 00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.599 the one and for example that I'm thinking about is people ask all the time, 534 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.639 how do I back up my log? And we've got capabilities to back 535 00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:02.400 up the long that video happens to be I want to say, six years 536 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.159 old, but it's it's you know, we haven't changed that feature really. 537 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.599 I mean you can back up. You can back it up to five different 538 00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:16.159 places simultaneously. So I back it up to Dropbox, one Drive, Google 539 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:23.719 Drive, I Cloud and something else, you know, So basically I simultaneously 540 00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.239 I'm backing it up to five different places. And if I can't get to 541 00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.760 a backup or a copy of my backup, then the world has bigger problems 542 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:39.519 in my long Uh what is another I got a couple about pricing. If 543 00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:46.280 you're ready to answer these yes, all right? When when you buy a 544 00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:51.000 license, I'm gonna what's this time in conversation, I could probably squash all 545 00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:55.320 these in you get you said, a professional license for that version and that 546 00:43:55.440 --> 00:44:00.159 version all the fixes for that version or is it continual up? Good point? 547 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:05.280 So here's the thing. We don't sell versions. So I have customers 548 00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.440 occasionally who all collins. They'll say, well, you know, I bought 549 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:13.599 version blah blah blah, and I want to go and you know, download 550 00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:15.159 it or what you know, what do I need to do to upgrade it? 551 00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:19.159 And the answer is should go to our website, you download what's on 552 00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.880 the website, you install it, and you're good to go. You may 553 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:24.960 not, you know, the features. Some of the new features will be 554 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.559 disabled if the software maintenances are the new features and support date were prior to 555 00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.400 when that feature was released or after that feature was leased. But you know, 556 00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:39.800 you don't have to. In fact, we don't want you to stay 557 00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:45.519 on the same version forever. You're entitled to run any I always say any 558 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:50.360 current or future version. I mean, we're not gonna if someone called and 559 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:53.159 said, Hi, I'm on version you know, six point four something and 560 00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:57.679 I've got this problem that I'm trying to figure out. The first thing the 561 00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:00.519 technician is going to do is say, well, here's a link to get 562 00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.559 to the latest one. So get to the latest one, because there have 563 00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:07.239 been a thousand fixes that have gone in over the course of the last ten 564 00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.639 years, and we fixed a lot of stuff, so it's likely you know, 565 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:16.960 been fixed at that point, so so you'll get the newer versions. 566 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:22.280 But some of the nicer features that that came out after you purchase your license 567 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:27.320 or your license expired. Might be a little to say licenses don't expire. 568 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.400 I'm sorry, now that's okay, because that comes up a lot. Licenses 569 00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:40.800 don't expire. So what happens is is that for your first purchase you get, 570 00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:46.119 you're you're entitled to unlimited support for a year, and you're entitled to 571 00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.800 all the features that we release through that twelve month period. And then if 572 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:53.960 you've got what you need, you're good to go. But what I want 573 00:45:53.960 --> 00:46:00.880 to be able to do is offer up some features that will compare el to 574 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:07.159 want to get on software maintenance and support again, so you're basically buying you're 575 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.840 basically buying a support license for a year. When you quote renew, yeah, 576 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.400 well it's not a support I want to you know, some people will 577 00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:19.960 say, I'm going to go and renew my support. Perfect, But I 578 00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:24.400 understand that when you're renewing, you're renewing new features and support. So it's 579 00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:30.320 both things. Some people may not need support, but they might want the 580 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:32.760 features. Some people may you know, not want the features, but they 581 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:38.719 want support. That option is there. There's no required payment. You know, 582 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:43.400 it's we're never going to do you know, required payments. We're never 583 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:47.440 going to sell it as a subscription, but we do have fifty percent of 584 00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:52.199 our customers buy the renewals every year because they either want the support, they 585 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:57.199 want the new features, or they want to support what we're doing because it's 586 00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:00.840 you know, we don't charge for fixes. Fixes are free, but it 587 00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:06.199 does help support the development of the product going on going forward. Nope, 588 00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:12.679 cool, cool, So will the license transfer computer A dies and I need 589 00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.000 I want to install it on computer B now, yeah, good question. 590 00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:21.480 Yes it does. And you're entitled to run it on five computers simultaneously. 591 00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:27.039 Wow, so you're not you're not stuck with just one computer. In fact, 592 00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:30.599 if you're running remote, we've got clubs that are you know, multi 593 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:36.639 station clubs, and they network the database and you know, you get real 594 00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:40.280 time updates if you're sitting at another desk and someone puts something in the log 595 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:46.519 it's pretty cool. But now you can have up to five simultaneously. And 596 00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:51.000 if you find it, you know one of them that you activated, you 597 00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.480 know you've decided to throw it away, Well you can throw it away and 598 00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:58.880 you know, deactivate that license and put it on a different machine. Do 599 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:02.920 you have a archive of old versions of the software, So I knowed version 600 00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:08.519 five point three two worked well on this particular computer, and I need to 601 00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:15.639 go back and reinstall that particular version. We really don't because, you know, 602 00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:19.199 and the reason why is it we've just never really seen. And I'm 603 00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.719 going to share my screen here for a bit because right now what I'm what 604 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:29.239 I'm doing is that I've got decodes coming in from w S j t X 605 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:34.400 into HRD alerts. So every fifteen seconds you'll see a bunch of additional decodes 606 00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:38.559 coming in while we while we talk. But awesome, and I may go 607 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:42.039 and try to work somebody here in a minute. We'll see. But oh, 608 00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:45.880 by the way, if you're on eighteen one hundred and you want to 609 00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:51.039 call me, you know, I'll work you while we're going. But you 610 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:55.079 know, we don't keep old versions around just because it's hard to have old 611 00:48:55.159 --> 00:49:00.360 conversations. Really, if someone says, you know, doesn't work, you 612 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.400 know, on the current version, but it worked on version whatever, we're 613 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.360 not probably going to go back to. We do have access to the code 614 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:13.440 going back, but we don't have we don't keep the compiled code laying around 615 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:16.719 so or the you know, executables. We'd rather try to try to figure 616 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:20.960 out what's wrong, you know, in current versions and go back and try 617 00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.159 to figure out, you know, what was going on before. Stay out 618 00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:29.000 of retail. They will always watch on a particular vision and never let it 619 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:36.320 go. I have a fun question here, are you going to be in 620 00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:42.320 Dayton or sorry, Huntsville. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna be. My 621 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.840 wife and I will be in Huntsville this year, so Lenny can't go, 622 00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:52.519 but my wife and I will be in Huntsville and we may do another show 623 00:49:52.599 --> 00:50:00.920 before the end of the year, but we've kind of landed on doing Orlando, 624 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:07.400 Dayton and Huntsville. I'd like to pick up Pacific con ce Pack and 625 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.159 by Selah. I'd like to do those. I wish there was one and 626 00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:14.840 maybe I don't know, if you guys go to it might be another one 627 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:19.400 that's good in the in the Northeast or something. But we've never really seen 628 00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:22.760 something there that was it was, you know, good for us to go. 629 00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:29.599 There's one up there called near Fest, New England, near New England 630 00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:37.000 Amateur Radio was that beer Fest? Yeah, almost year Fest. And I 631 00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:40.199 know that Steve good Game K five Ata from al l They were up there 632 00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:44.519 and I think if al roges that means it's a fairly decent sized show. 633 00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:49.159 So I've never been to that show, but yeah, New England Amateur Radio 634 00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:52.119 Fest is supposed to be a good one up there. I don't know what 635 00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:54.760 else is up there. There's a brand new one spinning up next year in 636 00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:02.639 southern Utah for the Rocky Mountain Division Convention, and they're calling it something Zion, 637 00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:07.320 something Ham Radio Zion because I think that's the name of the town it's 638 00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.039 in, and several of us are talking about going to that one because it's 639 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:13.719 going to be a brand new show, so we're hoping that it kind of 640 00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:16.880 takes off as well. So cool. I have a question here from Mike. 641 00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:24.079 He's talking about well Ham Radio Alert log or confirm contacts on qr Z 642 00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:32.679 using their w SI for confirmation. Yeah, so you can. You can 643 00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:38.800 automatically upload to qr set from Ham ray de lux, so if I wanted 644 00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:43.599 to, I'm not exactly sure which of these I've uploaded, but you can 645 00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:47.599 basically select them, come down to file, cure set and upload. I'm 646 00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:51.039 not going to do it because I usually go back and look at which ones. 647 00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:52.679 So now I got by the way, Now I got people calling me 648 00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:59.119 yeah, yeah, so you know, jobs, just to step off of 649 00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.039 that for a moment, I'm gonna go over here and look at I'm gonna 650 00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:06.079 change this just to the ones that are calling me, and I'm in the 651 00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:10.639 process of answering back the first one, which is the French station here, 652 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:17.360 and as that, as that proceeds, then we'll watch it going the log. 653 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:22.559 But yeah, I'm not I'm not familiar. If there's a download capability, 654 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:27.760 hopefully you can see that this just popped up, So this is gonna 655 00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:30.800 log so it goes directly into my log and it does the look up and 656 00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:38.920 everything. So as this completes and it stops transmitting, I'm gonna then click 657 00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:44.320 on the next one. Maybe I'll go to go to this one. Maybe 658 00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:46.280 he's listening to the program, so I'll go ahead and call him next. 659 00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:54.199 I don't know that there's a download capability in thank your z log. If 660 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:58.679 there is, we haven't implemented it, but I've not seen anything about it. 661 00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:07.000 But you can definitely upload automatically. Talking about logs here, Jeff and 662 00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.800 I saw someone else just ask a similar question. If you're running on multiple 663 00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:15.880 computers, are they sinking logs with each other? You can do that. 664 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:20.840 You can absolutely do that, and we've got a lot of club stations that 665 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:25.039 are doing that. If you do that, here's another one finishing up, 666 00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:30.320 and I'm gonna click okay and it goes into the log and then I'll go 667 00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:35.440 after the next one here. But you can do that. It requires that 668 00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:37.519 you do one of two things, and we can help people with this, 669 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:45.000 but it's a little bit of an unusual request because we don't have a lot 670 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:49.800 of multi multi stations. But you either have to share access to an access 671 00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:59.280 database or you have to build a sequel server of some sort, you know, 672 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:05.000 whether it's my sequel or Maria or Microsoft sequel. You have to build 673 00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:07.199 that and then create your DSNs on each one of the boxes to get to 674 00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:12.559 it. I mean, if if if you, if for anybody to recognize 675 00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:15.559 what I just said, they already know how to do it. If you 676 00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:19.480 don't, we can help you. But yes, absolutely, are you going 677 00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:22.079 to try to make that a little easier on the newer versions. Yeah, 678 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:30.719 you know, like an install button, server version information and go. Yeah. 679 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:34.119 I mean one of the things that we that we will do in version 680 00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:38.199 seven is automated as much of that as possible through a through a wizard, 681 00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:44.000 So the wizard would give you the ability to say, you know, is 682 00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.119 this going to be a single station or multi station, and you know, 683 00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:52.039 do you want to do you want to use you know, a log book 684 00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:55.440 of the world, or you know, and kind of lead people through the 685 00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:01.639 configuration because as it stands right now, the thing that has kind of frustrated 686 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:07.039 me and a few others is that it's really you have to hunt around within 687 00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:12.239 the applications to figure out what to enable in order to get this stuff to 688 00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.039 work. And I don't want people to have to do that. M okay, 689 00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:22.679 okay. So that one by Ronald is an interesting question. You see 690 00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:24.760 that, Frank, Yeah, I was gonna I just sent that to you. 691 00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:31.320 But Ronald's question here is will versus six dot nine fix the frequency logging 692 00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:37.960 from microwave Q sales by the frequency field from an unsigned thirty two bit to 693 00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:42.000 a unsigned sixty four bits. Very frustrating and it's been in the queue for 694 00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:45.039 two years now. Yeah, I don't know, well, I don't I 695 00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:50.599 don't, you know, I don't recognize the unsigned sixty four to Oh I 696 00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:53.280 know what I think I know what that is. And yes, absolutely we've 697 00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:57.840 already tested this now. I think I'm going to read it back because I 698 00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:04.800 think what the question really has to do with is that there's a there's a 699 00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:13.039 field limitation in the database right now that prevents you from logging frequencies above I 700 00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:15.440 want to say, it's like two point four gigga hurts or something like that. 701 00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:21.199 I can't remember, but that's fixed. We've already done that, and 702 00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:28.840 so that'll be pretty cool because people who've wanted to go and there's new radios 703 00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:30.760 that go way above two point four, right and so people are wanting to 704 00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:35.480 do that, but yeah, we've already fixed that. Not only that, 705 00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:42.679 but one of the problems that's also been fixed is that we have had people 706 00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:45.920 say, well, I also want to log the uplink and downlink frequencies, 707 00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:52.360 which is really important for satellite tracking. And this had been done many years 708 00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:59.280 ago and somebody broke it. So we've actually updated all of the fields so 709 00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:05.400 that they are patible with the latest ad IF standards, and as part of 710 00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:10.920 that, both the TX and RX frequencies by the way, I mean, 711 00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:14.840 I'm on I'm on eighteen one hundred, by the way, And we've got 712 00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:19.239 a few people who've called hopefully I'm able to work on work some of the 713 00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:25.440 people in the audience, I'm on eighteen one hundred and my transmit is at 714 00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:35.239 nineteen twenty seven. Are you going to be able to remotely activate? Will 715 00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:39.079 you be able to? Sorry, I'm dislexing this. Well, I'd be 716 00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:45.199 able to operate my radio remotely with the new version of hand Radio Deluxe. 717 00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:53.559 That's the plan. Now, I'm going to hedge a little bit because you 718 00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:59.880 can do that right now. But like I said, there are certain aspects 719 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:05.960 of this that aren't as convenient to use. So, for example, you 720 00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:09.599 can control the radio remotely, but to set up an audio path you have 721 00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:15.360 to use a third party software like ramod or something like that. So we 722 00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:19.760 want to build in the audio path so that people don't have to, you 723 00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.719 know, install third party programs. But right now, what I'm doing, 724 00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:28.639 just to be real honest, is when I operate remotely, I'm using Team 725 00:58:28.719 --> 00:58:31.800 Viewer. But yes, you know, I don't I can't say that it 726 00:58:31.800 --> 00:58:35.760 will be in the first version of Virgin seven, but it's definitely on the 727 00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:39.119 roadmap. Something we want to make sure that gets done. By the way, 728 00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.960 let me let me say something about you know, you can you can 729 00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:49.599 see in my HRD alert screen as I'm working people like this one here at 730 00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:55.239 KF zero IDT or I'll answer this guy because maybe the other person's not answering 731 00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:59.400 me back. So if I double click on this, you can't see it, 732 00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:04.480 but w s j t X starts transmitting when I double click on something 733 00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:08.960 over here, and then I'm looking at the B four column, and under 734 00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:13.360 the B four column. If it's got a red X there, it means 735 00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:16.960 that I have not worked that station B four on this band and mode. 736 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.920 The ones that are yellow, if you've noticed, as I've worked people, 737 00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:30.280 they will automatically go from red x's to yellow yield signs once I've worked them, 738 00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:32.119 And if they happen to confirm, then I would see them as green 739 00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:37.239 check marks. So everything in my log as far as countries are, is 740 00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:42.119 pretty much confirmed, which is why you see all these why you see all 741 00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:52.039 these check marks and green check marks in here, But that's how you get 742 00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:53.239 to know whether or not you need it. Not this. It's like the 743 00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:57.119 grids and counties and things that show me whether or not I need it. 744 00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:05.679 So I do kind of like you chokes q T as your cross platform compiler 745 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:13.559 and able to run your software at Linax and Mac and Windows. Was there 746 01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:16.199 this is a part I I don't know, mulba a lot. Is there 747 01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:20.960 a equivalent plugins and things that you can shoe the horn that into the app? 748 01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:23.719 That's what I'm told. I mean, I'm not a I'm not a 749 01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:30.320 developer, but that's one of the questions that I've asked the developers. These 750 01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:35.039 developers, I'm not going to develope who they are. But these developers are 751 01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:46.760 best known for developing some very familiar game titles. So they're doing a lot 752 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:54.239 of the They do development on things that are high volume, fast. You 753 01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:58.840 know, I'm gonna I'm gonna click on this and then it'll these xes or 754 01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:02.760 are these exes go to yield science. But they're doing applications that require a 755 01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:07.159 lot of horsepower. And what that's the good news for us is is that 756 01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:14.960 it's going to improve the performance of the application. But as I asked the 757 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.320 same kind of questions you're asking, Frank, it's absolutely is one of the 758 01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:23.320 desired outcomes. Yeah, I don't know. I don't have any experience really 759 01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:29.159 if mobile at every job, that's my hardline. I go to this point 760 01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:34.119 right right, well, but for me, I'll tell you what and I've 761 01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:37.800 had I've never well, I don't want to say i've never written code, 762 01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:39.920 but it's been thirty years since i've written code, so nobody wants me to 763 01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:45.280 write code at this point. But I understand it well enough. And I 764 01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:51.960 see people using these visual tools to build applications for mobile and I'm just thinking, 765 01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:57.119 man, that's really pretty amazing. I don't know how I would ever 766 01:01:57.239 --> 01:02:00.559 possibly, you know, do it or stand it. I'm just too old. 767 01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:05.159 But you know, even fellows like you could just pick it up right 768 01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:08.760 away. Yep. I'm kind of out of questions here other than me and 769 01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:15.800 Donn are going back and forth. And Don's wondering about TCI support, which 770 01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.400 I don't know exactly what it is, but yeah, Don's in every call, 771 01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.039 you know, somebody's there to ask me about TCI support every single time. 772 01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:27.239 But let me talk generally though, about what we're what we're doing with 773 01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:34.679 rig control, And the problem with rig control has been that all the commands 774 01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:40.360 for the radio control are in code. So if you want to add a 775 01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:45.960 radio, or if you want to fix the thing like the FTDX one on 776 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:50.679 one or problem we were talking about a while ago. It requires a developer 777 01:02:51.159 --> 01:02:55.199 to write code to put in, you know, to fix this thing, 778 01:02:55.239 --> 01:02:59.840 which is really kind of a major pain. It just causes us to take 779 01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:05.679 forever. So the future on this thing is that all of the configuration files 780 01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:12.159 for radios will live outside of code in XML files and we can basically people 781 01:03:12.199 --> 01:03:15.360 can contribute radios if they've got radios they want to contribute, and then you 782 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:21.639 can just download them. That's that's the future of that. And so with 783 01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:27.440 regards to TCI, that's when TCI will get done is when we actually open 784 01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:32.679 up this thing so you can add radios and parameters remotely. How do you 785 01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:37.639 want to say, how or give us the cost of the software license right 786 01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:45.800 now? Yeah, it's normally we do specials most of it quite often. 787 01:03:46.360 --> 01:03:50.079 Write write this down here, I'll put maybe I can put this up on 788 01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:52.960 the screen. We go back to I'm gonna I'm gonna have to move you 789 01:03:53.000 --> 01:04:00.440 somewhere. Where are you? Let me stop sharing this. I'm working tons 790 01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:03.079 of people. This is good. Thanks for the Qso yeah, yeah, 791 01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:09.559 I've got a good group there. I'm going to move you back over here 792 01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:18.719 and I'll show you. Yeah, it's five. Normally it is with a 793 01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:25.400 cupon code. I'm about ready to show you you can get a thirty percent 794 01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:32.400 discount using Ham Radio two. Oh as your cupon code. Look at that. 795 01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:39.760 So you can go to www dot ham Radio Deluxe dot com cupon code 796 01:04:40.280 --> 01:04:45.079 Ham Radio two l during check out thirty percent off. That's good for about 797 01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:50.599 seven days. Okay, then we will share that in the email list next 798 01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:57.400 week. So I created a short link for it that points to the site 799 01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:00.000 that you and I spoke about at lunch the other So the the Yeah, 800 01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:02.719 so the short link is what Frank is sharing in the chat. It takes 801 01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:06.760 you the same place. I'm gonna try try to because I'm gonna try to 802 01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:10.960 share a broader section of my screen and see if that actually works. I 803 01:05:10.960 --> 01:05:14.599 don't know if it'll work or not. It's a lot of stuff Don says. 804 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.440 If Don says, what if I put tank Radio in the code, 805 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:24.840 it will delete your operating system if you do that. It's funny, so 806 01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:28.519 hopefully, And I don't know, because now I'm sharing the entire screen right 807 01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:34.559 So yeah, but you can see pretty much that I've got w s J 808 01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:42.079 t X here. I'm presently calling a station HI eight r MQ and I've 809 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:46.400 been doing this all from within him Radio DeLux. But it sends the qso 810 01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:53.719 over to here's somebody, come, I work one of these guys. Maybe 811 01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:57.559 they're on the they're listening on the show or something. Oh well, I 812 01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:02.239 bear it work him ever finished this one off HI eight r MP in the 813 01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:09.119 Dominican Republic. Thank you. So I can see just by looking at you 814 01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:11.400 know, when I filter it. I mean, if I'm not filtering it, 815 01:06:11.480 --> 01:06:15.599 I'm going to see all the activity that w s j t X is 816 01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:19.199 hearing. If I just want to see the cqs, I can do that. 817 01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:24.599 If I want to see those who are calling me, I can do 818 01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:29.800 it that way. I'm gon try to answer in five BCA and it's small. 819 01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:31.039 It's small on the screen, but I do see what you're doing. 820 01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:36.559 Yeah, I mean the reason why I shared it like that is because otherwise 821 01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:40.599 you couldn't see w s j t X over here. And if I stopped 822 01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:45.159 sharing it and just go back to log book, then it probably is easier 823 01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:51.199 to see, right, Yes, yeah, that's easier to see. Yep. 824 01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:56.719 Oh, come on, now we got I'm gonna try to call K 825 01:06:56.880 --> 01:07:00.679 one r L and see if anybody if anybody's going to answer me back. 826 01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:03.519 But some of these, because I switched between screens, I probably didn't get 827 01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:10.840 clicked into them quickly enough. You can, by the way, in case 828 01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:15.920 it's not perfectly obvious, you can do FT four Q sixty five, whatever 829 01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:18.679 it is you can do in ws JTX, you can do the way I'm 830 01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:23.159 doing it right now. Some people will ask, what are you going to 831 01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:29.519 add FT eight and FT four into him Radio Deluxe? And the answer is 832 01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:38.440 the developers of w s j t X include a Nobel laureate and his PhD 833 01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:44.960 is better than my PhD. So they're really smart about how they've licensed this. 834 01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:48.480 And if you're trying to use this and a piece of software that's being 835 01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:53.880 sold commercially, then you have to publish your source code, and that's just 836 01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:58.239 not going to happen. So that's that's what the problem is there, because 837 01:07:58.239 --> 01:08:03.639 it's licensed under the CANO yes, so we're not going to publish our source 838 01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:08.440 code with it. So we're looking at other ways, and I'm working with 839 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:11.719 one of the developers on that project to see if we can come up with 840 01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:16.680 a workaround. In other words, if you install w s j t X 841 01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:19.960 on your own and it's already there, and we don't include it in our 842 01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:26.640 distro. Can you then be able to display it with our application? But 843 01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:30.720 you know who's going to keep up with the developers and w S j T 844 01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:35.600 X as they keep building off of what they've done, and JT sixty five 845 01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:41.279 became FT eight became FT four and Q sixty five, and it's really hard 846 01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:45.600 to keep up with them. So let's see if I can answer a few 847 01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:49.000 more. But yeah, that's it's been a lot of fun. It's been 848 01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:53.560 a whole lot of fun. Looks like it. Don is asking how do 849 01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:58.319 you how does the end user know when to renew? Is there a reminder 850 01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:03.560 emails? Or there is that pop up? There is the new version of 851 01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:10.880 the application. We'll actually have something up here that will show you and as 852 01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:15.439 a reminder, you can come in here to help and license key manager and 853 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:21.479 that will show you your date right here, So I have it set to 854 01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:28.439 my birthday, like you know, when I'm a hundred years old. But 855 01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:32.079 that's one way you can that's the easiest way, frankly to find that is 856 01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:36.960 to just bring down the help menu to license key Manager and it'll show you. 857 01:09:38.199 --> 01:09:42.760 Now we're also going to send you because you know we're a marketing company 858 01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:46.960 too, so we're going to send you a reminder within thirty days of when 859 01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:51.399 the expiration date and just let you know that you have an option to do 860 01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:56.800 that. We almost always include some sort of a coupon code with that too, 861 01:09:56.840 --> 01:10:02.439 so I might be the chat is confirming he has purchased the software. 862 01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:10.560 Also, thank you. Another question from a sport I like this one because 863 01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:15.560 you're sewing the software now on a super huge and awesome screen that we don't 864 01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:21.399 have because we're cheap hams. What is the minimum support for the resolution of 865 01:10:23.039 --> 01:10:29.199 your screen for the software? Yeah, you can use it on a you 866 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:31.920 know, six forty binding me to add him to the thing. Again, 867 01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:38.159 you can use it on a sixty by four eighty if you want to, 868 01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:40.960 but it's not going to be a lot of fun. I mean, I 869 01:10:41.319 --> 01:10:45.399 think, reasonably speaking, you want to you know, ten eighty by seven 870 01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:51.760 one hundred, whatever, but ye know that it'll it'll work fine with at 871 01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:59.319 least ten eighty wide. Okay, nineteen twenty ten eighty is full HD. 872 01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:05.800 I think it's twelve twelve seventy or twelve eighty by seven twenty is whatever they 873 01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:10.880 call it something like that. Yeah, so yeah, okay, yeah, 874 01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:14.399 I don't know. I'm like I said, this is a I had two 875 01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:20.119 twenty four inch screens and I had them set up and they were all like, 876 01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:25.359 you know what you see behind my head. But dragging stuff back and 877 01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:30.479 forth just kind of is awkward and so for me because I didn't like setting 878 01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:34.640 the screens of different resolutions everything. So I just bought the forty nine and 879 01:11:34.680 --> 01:11:41.039 frankly, I want another forty nine above the one. Frank I want to 880 01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:45.520 forty nine above the forty nine eventually. Yeah, it's a good idea. 881 01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:49.319 M Okay, Well, we've been going for just over an hour here, 882 01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:51.279 and I like this last question. I think this is going to be the 883 01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:58.680 last question because I really like that here. Uh no, Gert, Gert 884 01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:02.319 Jan sure, I'm sure I'm saying that name incorrectly, so I apologize. 885 01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:09.560 How did the name ham Radio Deluxe originate? It's an interesting question, so 886 01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:15.520 well, the original author of the software, it's a guy in Europe named 887 01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:20.880 Simon Brown. His call sign at the time he was in he was in 888 01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:26.800 Switzerland. His call was HB nine DRV. He since then has moved back 889 01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:30.399 to the UK because he's a brit and I think it's g for Eli. 890 01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:35.600 I think it's his call. But he's the one that named it, and 891 01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:40.279 or you know the folks who were he had a friend who was working with 892 01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:44.760 him on there at the time. From an SEO point of view, it's 893 01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:47.119 the greatest thing on the planet because you know, if you if you have 894 01:12:47.199 --> 01:12:54.039 a product like Ham Radio two point zero or you know Ham Radio Deluxe or 895 01:12:54.399 --> 01:13:00.119 Ham Radio Outlet, or you know Ham Radio something or another, it's it's 896 01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:03.359 a real boost for SEO. But that's where it came from. So you're 897 01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:12.119 saying, my name's bad Tank Radio. You can tanks Ham Radio takes Ham 898 01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:18.239 Radio Radio. That's my email is a tank Ham Radio because someone already had 899 01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:25.439 Tank Radio. M probably a guy who owns a tank I guess channel goal 900 01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:30.159 that is my channel goal. Yeah, yeah, last one good, so 901 01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:34.039 good. I've worked. So I got the log books set column up here, 902 01:13:34.079 --> 01:13:39.880 so I've got these are all set to know and I'm just a highlighted 903 01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:43.720 them. They've already gone up to club Log and cure zad Log Andiksel. 904 01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:46.760 I'm just gonna highlight them, upload them to the log book of the World 905 01:13:48.319 --> 01:13:51.840 and then they're updated and they're done. So if anybody worked me doing it 906 01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:58.479 during the show, your confirmation is waiting for you the world. Yeah, 907 01:13:58.520 --> 01:14:02.279 people were asking about that, so that's great, awesome, it's cool. 908 01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:05.520 Well, like I said at the beginning, guy, and thank you to 909 01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:09.560 those of you. I know some of you asked some redundant questions and we're 910 01:14:09.600 --> 01:14:15.079 not trying to negate that, but but do go watch back and watch the 911 01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:17.600 beginning of the stream because as as as all live streams do, you know, 912 01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:20.640 there's fewer people watching it at the beginning than there there is right now, 913 01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:24.720 so usually the number continues to grow as the hour, hour and a 914 01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:28.399 half goes on. So we if you had a question that did not get 915 01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:31.199 answered, we might have answered it earlier on before you joined. But one 916 01:14:31.239 --> 01:14:34.199 thing I did say earlier also was that I wanted to bring Mike back on 917 01:14:34.399 --> 01:14:41.520 for at least one, maybe two other ideas that I have specifically about how 918 01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:44.680 to use hand Radio Deluxe, you know, in a real world scenario. 919 01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:50.359 And yeah, man, i'd like to do PODA, I'd like to do 920 01:14:50.520 --> 01:14:56.319 something with satellite. You know, well, we'll do something cool like that. 921 01:14:56.479 --> 01:14:59.000 I don't know if we go and do a park I don't know if 922 01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:02.079 we can do it live, but maybe we can. You're you're smarter than 923 01:15:02.159 --> 01:15:05.000 me at that stuff, but well we can at least record it. But 924 01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:10.199 yeah, but but yeah, so but if you guys have have suggestions on 925 01:15:10.279 --> 01:15:13.680 what you want to see, I can't get I probably won't be able to 926 01:15:13.680 --> 01:15:15.720 get to all of them. But if if if three or four or five 927 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:19.960 of you all send in the same kind of question, idea suggestion about a 928 01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:25.079 new show topic, specifically circling around him Radio Deluxe, we will do that. 929 01:15:25.439 --> 01:15:28.239 So it's it's gonna be a it's gonna be a cool thing, and 930 01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:31.199 I'm looking forward to seeing the development of all the way up to seven dot. 931 01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:38.760 Oh. I'll be happy to install it on on a Lennox laptop I 932 01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:42.560 have once that's readily available, just cool, just to say I did it 933 01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:46.359 so just so that that'll be kind of fun. Which reminds me, is 934 01:15:46.399 --> 01:15:49.760 it is it too robust of a program to run on a Raspberry Pie? 935 01:15:49.800 --> 01:15:58.399 Do you think? Yeah? Probably? I mean I kind of that the 936 01:15:58.399 --> 01:16:00.640 memory footprint that it takes exapp I can probably pull it up here, but 937 01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:05.359 it's you know, let me actually, so I'm running log book. It's 938 01:16:05.439 --> 01:16:15.319 taken up. It's taken where am I? It's taken up about three hundred 939 01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:19.359 mega memory there. I don't know how much memory shows up on a Raspberry 940 01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:24.319 Pie, but it probably. It also takes up, you know, a 941 01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:29.640 disc footprint of about one hundred meg too, So I'm not your Raspberry pie 942 01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:32.800 guy, but it seems like it's a bit thick. Yeah, yeah, 943 01:16:32.880 --> 01:16:35.880 yeah, that's fine. It might run, but but it might be really 944 01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:41.119 slow. Let me repeat something that I said earlier, just in case we've 945 01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:46.800 had people joining us. You know, I really want to support Jason's channel 946 01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:51.279 here. So if if you're one of my customers, thank you, and 947 01:16:51.399 --> 01:16:58.239 I'm grateful for your for your business and fore sticking with us, and but 948 01:16:58.560 --> 01:17:03.319 also subscribe to Jason channel because he's doing great stuff here. It's a lot 949 01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:06.079 of fun. You know, he's and he's a Texan, so I gotta 950 01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:10.359 like that, right, But it's right, Yeah, support the channel. 951 01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:15.600 Subscribe awesome, very very cool. Yeah, so run over to Tank Radio 952 01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:24.159 and hit that subscribe but yeah, same there, that's right. So all 953 01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:29.720 right, Well this has been fantastic. It's some really great information about uh, 954 01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:33.119 what's being currently worked on within the company of HRD and what's upcoming and 955 01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:38.960 what we can expect to see in new release versions that are coming but not 956 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.399 at a confirmed date yet, which is okay. We just know what's what's 957 01:17:42.439 --> 01:17:45.159 going to be there, and Mike will be in Huntsville. So if you 958 01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:47.359 guys are watching tonight or are you watching on Team rayplay after this and you're 959 01:17:47.399 --> 01:17:51.000 going to Huntsville, go up and thank Mike for coming onto this show because 960 01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:56.039 he's It's always a good information. I talk about this a lot on different 961 01:17:56.119 --> 01:17:59.159 videos, I said, because I do some I do research on YouTube about 962 01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:02.640 the most popular topics on YouTube specifically for Ham radio, and one of the 963 01:18:03.039 --> 01:18:08.880 most searched Ham radio topic on YouTube is ham Radio Antenna. But one of 964 01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:14.560 the top five searched topics on ham radio or on YouTube specifically for Ham radio 965 01:18:14.680 --> 01:18:19.039 is about Ham Radio logging software and Ham Radio Deluxe is all is usually at 966 01:18:19.079 --> 01:18:23.640 the top of that list. When you if you just type in Ham Radio 967 01:18:23.720 --> 01:18:28.319 software logging software into YouTube, you're usually going to get three, four, 968 01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:30.840 five, six videos normally about Ham Radio Deluxe. You might get some M 969 01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:34.479 one mm stuff and some in three Jeff JP and Poda and Hammers and whatnot, 970 01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:38.239 but Ham Radio Deluxe is always going to be and one of those, 971 01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:42.079 you know, several of those top spots. So so it's a popular topic. 972 01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:45.000 It's one that I want to talk about and dive deeper into in future 973 01:18:45.039 --> 01:18:47.640 episodes. So once again, Mike, thanks for taking the time out tonight. 974 01:18:47.640 --> 01:18:50.840 This was a really good show, you bet.
