I think it's in 7 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.400 like the low forties here, low forties on the beach 8 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.960 on the coast on the Gulf of America. So that's 9 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.599 that's where we are right now. So Golf of that's 10 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.319 a that's the technical name for it, the Gulf of America. 11 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.360 Google says, Gulf of America. Now you can't argue with Google, right, 12 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.520 So let's see forty degrees warmer in Minnesota than last week. 13 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.639 Well that's good. It's up there in the ice capital 14 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.719 of the world in Connecticut with his buddy Heater. Good evening, 15 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.919 so happy Sunday, guys.

Had 18 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:24.000 really good results the last couple days. So it's been 19 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.599 plugged up and mounted on the house since Friday. Did 20 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.479 that live stream Friday night where it dropped a couple 21 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.759 of times at the beginning, but then it was solid 22 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.960 after that. Haven't had any issues with it since then. 23 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.000 So not getting the speeds I was hoping for, but 24 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.680 at plenty of speed to live springs a live stream, 25 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.680 so not a problem there.

So, good evening, guys, 46 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.319 thanks for being here tonight. We're going to talk about 47 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.240 Ham Radio Deluxe tonight. How cool is that? So you 48 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.959 guys are going to see them at Ham Cashen here 49 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.759 in a couple of weeks, so let's just hop right 50 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.360 into it. We're going to transition from there to there. Mike, Steve, 51 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.079 good evening. How are you guys doing. 52 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.639 We're doing great. I'm doing great, Steve. 53 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.279 I just realized something like seventy five percent of Ham 54 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.240 Radio operators are either named Mike or Steve. So hiring 55 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.519 Steve was probably not the smartest thing you could have done, Mike, 56 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.040 but you know, I mean, he's you know, he should 57 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.319 have been named like. 58 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.680 We've got several mics that are beta testers or whatever, 59 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.399 and I imagine bek John's and various, but only one 60 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.519 Ferry by the way, but that's hard. They're harder to hard. 61 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.879 Okay, well, that's good. So how how are things going 62 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.839 at Ham Radio Crew Ham Radio Deluxe? I was reading 63 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.399 Ham Radio Crusader, but talking about Ham Radio DeLux. How 64 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.120 were things going to Ham Radio Deluxe? 65 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.079 Really good. We had a really good Christmas season and 66 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.399 better than the previous year. We released version six nine. 67 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:23.279 The initial release was on right before Halloween and we've 68 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.639 done a few maintenance releases since then. And you know, 69 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.399 it's interesting because basically before we started to do the rewrite, 70 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.439 there were something in the neighborhood of one hundred and 71 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.360 fifty defects in version six' eight For, logbook and the 72 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.079 developers finally, said you, know you can't do this. Anymore 73 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.600 you got, to you, know to fix these, things we 74 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.800 have to rewrite. Them and that's what we took us 75 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.360 longer THAN i would have liked, to but it's really 76 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:57.959 been worth it and it looks. Fantastic it works. Great 77 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.720 we're down to you, know just you, know little small 78 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.480 things that you know are important to a few, people 79 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.439 but we're. Not we don't have any major issues right. 80 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.920 Now there's probably Good steve keep me on as something 81 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.800 in the twenty five to thirty defects, list and they're all, 82 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.079 like you, know, somebody somebody had contact us and, said 83 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.000 we'd like the contrast to be a little different for 84 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.480 this particular field because this thing's a little hard to. 85 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.439 Read but it's one off kind of thing like. That 86 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.839 it's really pretty good right. 87 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:34.040 Now okay, Good and we're currently on like version six 88 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.759 dot nine dot some. Subsection so seven's not out yet quite. 89 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.480 Yet and one of the one of the first QUESTIONS 90 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.000 i got, asked which was coming is The mac, version 91 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.439 the version For mac os is that coming with seven as? 92 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.680 Well that will be with, seven and so let me 93 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.959 let me talk a little bit about the process for 94 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.879 getting to. Seven go. Ahead there are five applications in 95 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.040 the suite six if you count, map but let's we'll 96 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.680 talk about that. Moment but There's, Logbook, REDCONTROL dm seven, 97 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.360 eighty rotor, control and satellite. Tracking thus, far we've rewritten. 98 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.279 Logbook it literally will run on A mac and we've 99 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.759 run it on A mac a, bit but it's we've 100 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.600 got to make it work with all. Five so we've 101 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:25.560 already started the work to Rewrite redcontrol and then we'll 102 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:31.839 DO dm seven eighty rotator and satellite. Tracking the logbook 103 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.120 application is the most complicated piece of all of, them 104 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.120 so that's behind, us and then good we get all 105 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.480 five of them. Rewritten version seven will be it's the 106 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.759 intention that version seven will be multi, platform So, Windows, Mac, 107 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:55.039 linux multi, lingual a bunch of other cool. Things we're 108 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.519 going to add some capabilities that people have been asking 109 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.200 for for quite a. Bit application that's currently known as 110 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.159 mapper will be depreciated replaced with something that's CALLED hrd Global. 111 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.440 View and to understand WHAT hrd global, view just think 112 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:22.720 of a combination between grid, tracker the, geochron ham, bundle ham, 113 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.919 clock and a bunch of other things that we already 114 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.240 have in the application. Today but it's just a matter 115 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.320 of visualizing it on a. Screen you'll be able to 116 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.759 cast that to a FOUR k display on your. Network 117 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.080 it'll be pretty. Cool so that's what we're working. 118 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:44.840 Forwards, excellent, okay, Okay oh you found your.

LINUX i know you're 131 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.039 working on mac, os and mac os is just WHAT 132 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:27.480 i call, it A Fisher price my first, computer gooey 133 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.080 on top of the real operating. System but how is 134 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.000 Your are you planning on a version that. 135 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.240 Actually run on Like debian or, Something, yeah for, SURE 136 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:40.879 i mean that's probably it's, Uh linux and mac is 137 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.159 expected to be available in version. 138 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:49.240 Seven people will, say, hey when's version? Seven and you, 139 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.120 know If i'd answered that question two years, AGO i 140 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.919 would about but getting log book out of the way 141 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:01.679 and having already started on rig control and a little 142 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:06.360 bit INTO dm seven eighty and satellite tracking rotor, control 143 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.799 it won't be a heavy lift for those compared To, 144 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.559 logbook And i've split the work up a little. Bit 145 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.799 there's the developer that's been working on rig, control or 146 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.519 that the group that's been working On sorry. Logbook they're 147 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.600 going to continue with rig, control BUT i brought someone 148 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.320 else in to DO dm seven. Eighty the cool thing 149 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.279 about that is what we're doing WITH dm seven eighty 150 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:38.639 is a couple. Things we're going to USE ai to 151 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.200 separate the signal from the, noise and then we're going 152 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:46.840 to also USE ai to improve the presentation of text 153 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.960 to the. Screen so it's particularly important WITH. Cw if 154 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.000 you were listening to THE cw bulletin sent by THE awrls, 155 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:01.879 machine it looks perfect on the. Screen but if you're 156 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.320 listening to someone whose hand isn't as perfect as a 157 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.879 machine might be in a tough signal todoi's, environment it's 158 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.960 a little harder to do. That so that's the that's 159 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.279 the work we're doing with them seven to, eighty as 160 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.159 well as there's a number of other modes that people 161 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.279 have been asking us to, add and we'll do that 162 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.519 at that time. Too so as soon as those other 163 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.840 four applications are done by a group of you, know 164 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:32.039 two groups of, people we'll be ready for version. Seven 165 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:38.559 my wife hates it WHEN i, speculate So i'm not 166 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.919 going to. Speculate but it can't come soon.

You can give me a PART 382 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.640 so let's let's say that i, don't PARTICULARLY hear the 383 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.720 park number. But i hear the park, Name Give Me A. 384 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.119 PARK name galveston island, State. 385 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:24.920 Park i type too. 386 00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.079 Quick now you have to.
