Speaker 1: probably in the I haven't looked. I think it's in
Speaker 1: like the low forties here, low forties on the beach
Speaker 1: on the coast on the Gulf of America. So that's
Speaker 1: that's where we are right now. So Golf of that's
Speaker 1: a that's the technical name for it, the Gulf of America.

Speaker 1: plugged up and mounted on the house since Friday. Did
Speaker 1: that live stream Friday night where it dropped a couple
Speaker 1: of times at the beginning, but then it was solid
Speaker 1: after that. Haven't had any issues with it since then.
Speaker 1: So not getting the speeds I was hoping for, but

Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, so let's just hop right
Speaker 1: into it. We're going to transition from there to there. Mike, Steve,
Speaker 1: good evening. How are you guys doing.
Speaker 3: We're doing great. I'm doing great, Steve.
Speaker 1: I just realized something like seventy five percent of Ham
Speaker 1: Radio operators are either named Mike or Steve. So hiring
Speaker 1: Steve was probably not the smartest thing you could have done, Mike,
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, he's you know, he should
Speaker 1: have been named like.
Speaker 3: We've got several mics that are beta testers or whatever,
Speaker 3: and I imagine bek John's and various, but only one
Speaker 3: Ferry by the way, but that's hard. They're harder to hard.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, that's good. So how how are things going
Speaker 1: at Ham Radio Crew Ham Radio Deluxe? I was reading
Speaker 1: Ham Radio Crusader, but talking about Ham Radio DeLux. How
Speaker 1: were things going to Ham Radio Deluxe?
Speaker 3: Really good. We had a really good Christmas season and
Speaker 3: better than the previous year. We released version six nine.
Speaker 3: The initial release was on right before Halloween and we've
Speaker 3: done a few maintenance releases since then. And you know,
Speaker 3: it's interesting because basically before we started to do the rewrite,
Speaker 3: there were something in the neighborhood of one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty defects in version six' eight For, logbook and the
Speaker 3: developers finally, said you, know you can't do this. Anymore
Speaker 3: you got, to you, know to fix these, things we
Speaker 3: have to rewrite. Them and that's what we took us
Speaker 3: longer THAN i would have liked, to but it's really
Speaker 3: been worth it and it looks. Fantastic it works. Great
Speaker 3: we're down to you, know just you, know little small
Speaker 3: things that you know are important to a few, people
Speaker 3: but we're. Not we don't have any major issues right.
Speaker 3: Now there's probably Good steve keep me on as something
Speaker 3: in the twenty five to thirty defects, list and they're all,
Speaker 3: like you, know, somebody somebody had contact us and, said
Speaker 3: we'd like the contrast to be a little different for
Speaker 3: this particular field because this thing's a little hard to.
Speaker 3: Read but it's one off kind of thing like. That
Speaker 3: it's really pretty good right.
Speaker 1: Now okay, Good and we're currently on like version six
Speaker 1: dot nine dot some. Subsection so seven's not out yet quite.
Speaker 1: Yet and one of the one of the first QUESTIONS
Speaker 1: i got, asked which was coming is The mac, version
Speaker 1: the version For mac os is that coming with seven as?
Speaker 3: Well that will be with, seven and so let me
Speaker 3: let me talk a little bit about the process for
Speaker 3: getting to. Seven go. Ahead there are five applications in
Speaker 3: the suite six if you count, map but let's we'll
Speaker 3: talk about that. Moment but There's, Logbook, REDCONTROL dm seven,
Speaker 3: eighty rotor, control and satellite. Tracking thus, far we've rewritten.
Speaker 3: Logbook it literally will run on A mac and we've
Speaker 3: run it on A mac a, bit but it's we've
Speaker 3: got to make it work with all. Five so we've
Speaker 3: already started the work to Rewrite redcontrol and then we'll
Speaker 3: DO dm seven eighty rotator and satellite. Tracking the logbook
Speaker 3: application is the most complicated piece of all of, them
Speaker 3: so that's behind, us and then good we get all
Speaker 3: five of them. Rewritten version seven will be it's the
Speaker 3: intention that version seven will be multi, platform So, Windows, Mac,
Speaker 3: linux multi, lingual a bunch of other cool. Things we're
Speaker 3: going to add some capabilities that people have been asking
Speaker 3: for for quite a. Bit application that's currently known as
Speaker 3: mapper will be depreciated replaced with something that's CALLED hrd Global.
Speaker 3: View and to understand WHAT hrd global, view just think
Speaker 3: of a combination between grid, tracker the, geochron ham, bundle ham,
Speaker 3: clock and a bunch of other things that we already
Speaker 3: have in the application. Today but it's just a matter
Speaker 3: of visualizing it on a. Screen you'll be able to
Speaker 3: cast that to a FOUR k display on your. Network
Speaker 3: it'll be pretty. Cool so that's what we're working.
Speaker 1: Forwards, excellent, okay, Okay oh you found your. BOURBON i see, CONGRATS.
Speaker 3: I, DID i, DID i do love my. Bourbon it's
Speaker 3: all made In Bourbon, County, kentucky of. Course.
Speaker 1: Excellent, yeah what are you drinking?
Speaker 3: Tonight this is an old fashion made with buffalo trays.
Speaker 1: That's i've got a bu all a buffalo trace in
Speaker 1: the cabinet back.
Speaker 3: There so, yeah that particular, Distillery i've been to most
Speaker 3: of them down, there and that's a very impressive. Facility
Speaker 3: when you get out of your, car it just smells like,
Speaker 3: paradise so before you even walk in the. Door so,
Speaker 3: yeah pretty.
Speaker 1: Cool, yeah people are asking About. LINUX i know you're
Speaker 1: working on mac, os and mac os is just WHAT
Speaker 1: i call, it A Fisher price my first, computer gooey
Speaker 1: on top of the real operating. System but how is
Speaker 1: Your are you planning on a version that.
Speaker 4: Actually run on Like debian or, Something, yeah for, SURE
Speaker 4: i mean that's probably it's, Uh linux and mac is
Speaker 4: expected to be available in version.
Speaker 3: Seven people will, say, hey when's version? Seven and you,
Speaker 3: know If i'd answered that question two years, AGO i
Speaker 3: would about but getting log book out of the way
Speaker 3: and having already started on rig control and a little
Speaker 3: bit INTO dm seven eighty and satellite tracking rotor, control
Speaker 3: it won't be a heavy lift for those compared To,
Speaker 3: logbook And i've split the work up a little. Bit
Speaker 3: there's the developer that's been working on rig, control or
Speaker 3: that the group that's been working On sorry. Logbook they're
Speaker 3: going to continue with rig, control BUT i brought someone
Speaker 3: else in to DO dm seven. Eighty the cool thing
Speaker 3: about that is what we're doing WITH dm seven eighty
Speaker 3: is a couple. Things we're going to USE ai to
Speaker 3: separate the signal from the, noise and then we're going
Speaker 3: to also USE ai to improve the presentation of text
Speaker 3: to the. Screen so it's particularly important WITH. Cw if
Speaker 3: you were listening to THE cw bulletin sent by THE awrls,
Speaker 3: machine it looks perfect on the. Screen but if you're
Speaker 3: listening to someone whose hand isn't as perfect as a
Speaker 3: machine might be in a tough signal todoi's, environment it's
Speaker 3: a little harder to do. That so that's the that's
Speaker 3: the work we're doing with them seven to, eighty as
Speaker 3: well as there's a number of other modes that people
Speaker 3: have been asking us to, add and we'll do that
Speaker 3: at that time. Too so as soon as those other
Speaker 3: four applications are done by a group of you, know
Speaker 3: two groups of, people we'll be ready for version. Seven
Speaker 3: my wife hates it WHEN i, speculate So i'm not
Speaker 3: going to. Speculate but it can't come soon. ENOUGH i.
Speaker 1: HEAR i know you've been working on that for a long.
Speaker 1: TIME i THINK i talked to you At hamvenchin this last,
Speaker 1: year and, yeah y'all were still working towards. That and
Speaker 1: of course you've got you you've got a new version,
Speaker 1: out newer version today than you did, then so you're
Speaker 1: working in progression towards. It but, YEAH i know you've
Speaker 1: been working on that for a long.
Speaker 3: Time so, yeah, yep, yeah and uh, yeah it's LIKE i,
Speaker 3: said IT'S I i occasionally have to go back to
Speaker 3: six' eight to test something because someone, will, say HEY
Speaker 3: when i clicked here in version, six eight it, did
Speaker 3: this but it doesn't happen that way in, Six' nine
Speaker 3: so i have to go back to six'. Eight to
Speaker 3: try it and, to be real honest going back to
Speaker 3: six' eight from where we are in six' nine seems. Like,
Speaker 3: SUCH a, journey to go really i mean it's it's
Speaker 3: it's a it's significantly more. Powerful, today, than, it.
Speaker 1: Was, Before, good good excellent excellent okay yeah you guys keep.
Speaker 1: The questions coming in the. Chat i'm trying to watch him. Frank,
Speaker 1: IS still on the boat actually i think he's flying back.

Speaker 3: Here AND let me see. Here sure i, will do.
Speaker 3: That sharing is. Caring you know, so That's right come
Speaker 3: over here and, i'm on a very large screen. So
Speaker 3: hopefully this. Doesn't look terrible. So it good.
Speaker 1: It's. Still there it is right there it was a,
Speaker 1: black SCREEN for a few. SECONDS but i see. It,
Speaker 1: Now i see it.
Speaker 3: Now okay so let me walk you. Through some of,
Speaker 3: the visual changes and right now what you're looking at
Speaker 3: here IN the. Activity down here is hrd alert we introduced.
Speaker 3: That a couple of years go it's actually TAKING the
Speaker 3: dcodes out of ws jt OR you can, use j
Speaker 3: td x or whatever so it's bringing those decodes in,
Speaker 3: the nice thing about this is which is different, from
Speaker 3: a lot of other applications, is is that in real
Speaker 3: time we're showing you whether, or, not, you, need, that, country.
Speaker 3: GRID county, state zone prefix whatever i mean there's a
Speaker 3: whole lot of things that JUST from looking at it
Speaker 3: that i can TELL straight away whether or not. I
Speaker 3: Need to work that station, now i've, Worked pretty much
Speaker 3: well you, know I'm in on a roll so i've
Speaker 3: worked pretty much every every country that's going to. Be
Speaker 3: on the air Right now so it's unlikely that, i'll
Speaker 3: get any ANY new ones BUT you know i might
Speaker 3: need i. Might get A new band country but as,
Speaker 3: I see these things coming IN i can filter, them,
Speaker 3: if i, want to say well you know only show
Speaker 3: me decodes, if it's a new at no if, it's
Speaker 3: an all time new ONE or if it's a new
Speaker 3: dxcc on. THE ban or on the mode, i don't
Speaker 3: chase states. Much anymore or continents or whatever but if,
Speaker 3: you chase some of these things you can have, these
Speaker 3: things come up in filters or you can, have them
Speaker 3: come up in alarms, and when the alarms fire off you'll.
Speaker 3: Get any any, combination of things first of All the
Speaker 3: rod will light up i'll, show you that in a moment,
Speaker 3: but YOU can get an Email which i get them,
Speaker 3: when i'm away from the shack and it tells me
Speaker 3: that THERE'S something. On the air that. I need it'll
Speaker 3: text a SPEECH there's a light pull that i don't
Speaker 3: know if i'll be able to maybe if you don't
Speaker 3: know if you, Can see this on, the camera but
Speaker 3: THIS little guy. This is an mbrava blank light and,
Speaker 3: so whenever you.
Speaker 1: Show that again you were showing. The screen but not
Speaker 1: your camera. So show that again real?
Speaker 3: Quick? Can, you, see it there yeah yeah Okay so
Speaker 3: you know it's about it's a cube that's probably about
Speaker 3: an inch and a half cubed and it lights up red.
Speaker 3: When there's something on the air it'll even play a
Speaker 3: jingle if. You wanted to play a jingle. It's kind
Speaker 3: OF kind of Cool this is usb connected and brava
Speaker 3: Tells Me they're going. To have wi, FI connected one
Speaker 3: so you know i, tell people, that's really good for
Speaker 3: you know taking it to the dinner table and if
Speaker 3: something new shows up that, you need while you're having
Speaker 3: dinner you can. Just, jump up and run away, yeah
Speaker 3: my wife, HATES that idea so you. Know, I WON'T
Speaker 3: repeat that again yeah so, i mean each. One Of
Speaker 3: these like over here, if i'm, looking AT this one,
Speaker 3: for example if, i click, once it'll pull up you
Speaker 3: know the, the INFORMATION about that particular Station and i
Speaker 3: can see that, i've NEVER worked this station Before but
Speaker 3: i can see what. I've worked on This, Particular country
Speaker 3: here's one. That camden georgia As, A county i've never.
Speaker 3: Worked CAMDEN georgia as a county if, I can double
Speaker 3: click on, it i probably got that late BUT that
Speaker 3: will START ws J t or j, T d x
Speaker 3: what are using. IT'LL start it UP transmitting, CLEARLY i
Speaker 3: probably like i said I probably got in late because
Speaker 3: i WAS talking ABOUT and then, once i once i
Speaker 3: work it it's going to show Up as worked and
Speaker 3: which is, it'll go FROM red to, yellow and once
Speaker 3: i confirm it. It'll go from yellow to green So
Speaker 3: THAT'S how, that, works, across, like, i said zone states
Speaker 3: countries grids whatever it. Is you happen to be collecting
Speaker 3: i'm going to PIN this to the top if i.
Speaker 3: Can remember HOW there we GO so if i go
Speaker 3: and i don't know if, he's gonna call ME or
Speaker 3: not maybe, well if I go. DOWN here into the
Speaker 3: dx cluster i can see all the stations THAT are.
Speaker 3: Being reported ON the dx cluster, the filter I can turn,
Speaker 3: on and like i said before this will ONLY show.
Speaker 3: Me the things that i need so there are THERE'S
Speaker 3: one station On here, that i can see i've. Worked
Speaker 3: see the yellow yield sign i've worked, that Country for
Speaker 3: that mode. Before but I'VE never confirmed THEM so as
Speaker 3: i as, if i click once OVER here it'll show
Speaker 3: me the qrz image and now has these great tables
Speaker 3: that are a lot better than what you know you.
Speaker 3: Used to be able to see you CAN, see what you've,
Speaker 3: worked FOR cw phone and digital and i Can see
Speaker 3: that the. ONE that i've worked for digital. I haven't
Speaker 3: confirmed anything on digital that's why. This is showing up
Speaker 3: as yellow i'm GONNA stop ca on him because i don't.
Speaker 3: Think it's Gonna. Come me back let's see nope another
Speaker 3: cool thing that was ADDED was, We call it the
Speaker 3: dx histogram so based on all THE Activity, that's coming
Speaker 3: in from dx cluster it will. Show you where the
Speaker 3: action's at if you can see kind of the orange
Speaker 3: color down at THE bottom of the band that's cw
Speaker 3: and there's like a purple one that's up. At the.
Speaker 3: Top of the, band that's phone but you know people,
Speaker 3: don't talk to each other anymore so it's it's all
Speaker 3: green because it's all digital modes. And that's what people
Speaker 3: are working so you can see where the ACTIVITY is
Speaker 3: based on. The d x spots you received?
Speaker 1: Is that is THAT digital mode is that all ft
Speaker 1: eight or is? It multiple digital modes, in there like really.
Speaker 3: It's yeah it's, any digital, mode but you know IN
Speaker 3: reality so IT could, be ft four, or ft EIGHT
Speaker 3: but in. Reality, everybody's, on, Ft eight.
Speaker 1: Basically yeah yeah okay.
Speaker 3: I'm. Probably gonna FIND a blank space i'll call cq and.
Speaker 3: See if anybody answers.
Speaker 1: Me here and, you, SAID you're on forty METERS right.
Speaker 3: I am forty meters ft eight i'm Going to pop
Speaker 3: IN here and i'll call c. Q, On the next
Speaker 3: TIME slot right, so UH if i you know if
Speaker 3: i click over, here where it Says The. Coordinates it'll
Speaker 3: open Up Google earth i'm gonna bring google earth over.
Speaker 3: HERE after it actually fires up.
Speaker 5: I.
Speaker 3: Should have, Had it, LAUNCHED beforehand that's fine.
Speaker 1: Bill. Says i talk all the time there's. A movement to.
Speaker 1: Get ME quiet It won't Work Though I believe bill
Speaker 1: great man creaman PoTA says ninety seven point three Percent
Speaker 1: of my contacts or phone i'd like to see, The,
Speaker 1: Statistic where, YOU got, that tim but yeah i mean
Speaker 1: just because you talk to two people a week who
Speaker 1: will actually respond to you doesn't mean. That you're all
Speaker 1: making phone contexts.
Speaker 3: We'll move out Of THE way here's here's some so
Speaker 3: i happened TO click on. The. Coordinates for v forty
Speaker 3: seven ja here's the, thing turning red by the. Way
Speaker 3: if you, could see IT but OH yeah uh if.
Speaker 3: I if i here's something COOL so let's let's say
Speaker 3: that i want to find OUT what it looked LIKE
Speaker 3: when i. Was Working these us stations here so, i'm
Speaker 3: just going to highlight them, just A few of them
Speaker 3: here and i'm gonna right Click And. Go to look
Speaker 3: up google earth and the cool thing is is, that
Speaker 3: from within the view here it'll show me From, my
Speaker 3: qth here north of DALLAS all these differ different stations,
Speaker 3: i WORKED and where they are and i can come
Speaker 3: over here and kind of drill DOWN on one of
Speaker 3: them if i went to and see how, close they
Speaker 3: are to you KNOW HAVING an absence of. H o
Speaker 3: a and their neighbor see, if they have a. Swimming
Speaker 3: pool they'll invite me over but there's cool Stuff You.
Speaker 3: Can do with with google earth one of the things
Speaker 3: we're going to do here fairly soon is that every
Speaker 3: station You Work will get plotted on google earth as.
Speaker 3: You plot as you work them and then really then
Speaker 3: you know you'll have like a real time map of
Speaker 3: All The. Stations you're working on google.
Speaker 1: EARTH oh that's. Kind of neat i. Like that that's? A,
Speaker 1: great idea.
Speaker 3: See what else yeah and then there's awards tracking a
Speaker 3: lot of the things that have. Been in here for
Speaker 3: a While, You, want.
Speaker 1: To talk about poda yes yeah so you Wanted. Me
Speaker 1: To Ask, you about poda so PoTA logbook which a
Speaker 1: lot of the OLD school logging software IS like hrd
Speaker 1: and in one mm. Didn't DIDN'T buy into very quickly
Speaker 1: but I know, you guys, are doing PoTA now so yeah.
Speaker 3: Tell. Us about that, for sure, Yeah So let's say
Speaker 3: for Example i'm i'm working you and i'm going to
Speaker 3: put in your CALL can SEE five h, W b
Speaker 3: and i hit tabs so it's going to go AND
Speaker 3: do the look up and i can you know, THIS
Speaker 3: is probably, Where, YOU live i, would, think yeah i would,
Speaker 3: say so there's a map here It's like one fifty
Speaker 3: seven in texas ten. Something, in the neighborhood OF that. Oh,
Speaker 3: that's your qr z. Location anyway That's what that says, that.
Speaker 1: SHOULD now that's not right BUT i, think, That's, a
Speaker 1: qr z thing right, yeah that that address is correct
Speaker 1: but that's not. Where it is, ON the map.
Speaker 3: So all right i mean i'd have to i'd Have
Speaker 3: to look at what your i'd have to look at
Speaker 3: what's in Q're, sad for. You for a yeah that
Speaker 3: long but, that's that's. Where, It gets it all right
Speaker 3: anyway LET'S let's SAY you're at a poda. And I
Speaker 3: want to work you so I come over here to
Speaker 3: the poda tab and. You can give me a PART
Speaker 3: so let's let's say that i, don't PARTICULARLY hear the
Speaker 3: park number. But i hear the park, Name Give Me A.
Speaker 1: PARK name galveston island, State.
Speaker 3: Park i type too.
Speaker 1: Quick now you have to. You have to spell, it correctly?
Speaker 3: That, must be it. Right, there.
Speaker 1: Yeah that is. It yeah THAT'S the CORRECT number so if.
Speaker 3: I, if i double click on that. It adds the
Speaker 3: park in here so this the coordinates are basically taken
Speaker 3: from the FILE that is obtained, from the poda, kind
Speaker 3: OF catalog. If you WILL the PoTA repository, But if
Speaker 3: i save that one i'm NOT going to save it
Speaker 3: because i have auto uploads set For a low. Book of,
Speaker 3: The world and whatnot so. Right i'm not gonna log you.
Speaker 3: But that's, how you do it for example you, Happen
Speaker 3: to be in multiple PARKS let's say you were in
Speaker 3: us and, just make. SOMETHING up three zero one twelve
Speaker 3: i could put both parks in there if you if
Speaker 3: there happened to be a case where both parks are
Speaker 3: active in the. Same location, or something like, that same,
Speaker 3: THING by, the WAY for, soda i, MEAN if i
Speaker 3: had You know i. Don't, KNOW what i'm gonna put
Speaker 3: well i can. GET something that might Look Good i don't.
Speaker 1: HAVE any soda summit numbers memorized i don't do much of.
Speaker 1: That around, here in, the flatland so yeah.
Speaker 3: This one In, This, particular one you're in france. Okay
Speaker 3: there's worldwide. Floor in fauna same thing too, called, the
Speaker 3: other day and said Hey your list doesn't, have the turkish.
Speaker 3: Parks in it but it did, he didn't scroll down
Speaker 3: Far enough but so you get turkish parks here. Where
Speaker 3: you could add those in so that's. Basically how you
Speaker 3: would do that, i'm gonna reset for a minute and
Speaker 3: then we're going to put in your CALL SIGN AGAIN
Speaker 3: case five, H w b m and UH. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3: Back to poda someone's. Calling me i'll call him back
Speaker 3: you must have someone, on the show that they called
Speaker 3: So could be, This Is whiskey zulu. For. Kilowatts, so
Speaker 3: i'll call HIM so, uh IF, if like i said
Speaker 3: if i if, YOU gave me the park number i
Speaker 3: could just put us three, zero one three and are
Speaker 3: Sorry three. Zero ONE three and i'm good if i
Speaker 3: didn't want to put all, the, rest, of that STUFF
Speaker 3: in okay yeah and then i COULD count the part
Speaker 3: marks that. I WORKED and so on later IF i
Speaker 3: were an activator when i, had THIS thing a little
Speaker 3: bit if i can, MOVE it out of the way i.
Speaker 3: Don't know how to do THAT i'll there we go if,
Speaker 3: i configure MY there he, Is so see i worked
Speaker 3: him thanks for the qso he WENT directly up into
Speaker 3: here And I. Can see This Is. Howard waxman He's
Speaker 3: at court news so NOW. I'll go Back to CALLING
Speaker 3: cq so, IF i'm if i an activator i, go
Speaker 3: to tools configure my station and since my park has
Speaker 3: a unique, LOCATION that's different from my home. I would
Speaker 3: add another location here i'm, not going to do it
Speaker 3: here this is my that. Would just, help me understand
Speaker 3: that you KNOW this is the, Park that i was.
Speaker 3: Working from, so you do that that's. So that's that's
Speaker 3: how that works so.
Speaker 1: If you drive, around activating a bunch of parks you
Speaker 1: would want to put in a new location for pretty much. Every,
Speaker 1: every different park you.
Speaker 3: Activate yeah because every different every different park, would have a.
Speaker 3: Different lat long a different grid you COULD be IN
Speaker 3: a DIFFERENT c. Q or i t u zone so
Speaker 3: that's why you. HAVE the ability to create. Locations i
Speaker 3: talked to, a guy that's then you, Know, YOU know
Speaker 3: these people though jason i mean some of these, folks about, activated,
Speaker 3: hundreds of parks right yeah yeah so, you know you
Speaker 3: can do that And that's how you would do you
Speaker 3: can put in what kind of station. You were using
Speaker 3: and so. On but that's how it works there's one
Speaker 3: THING To point out is that hrd logbook version six
Speaker 3: nine FULLY conforms. To, the Ad i f standards okay
Speaker 3: and i'm, not throwing ANYTHING at anyone here but the
Speaker 3: PoTA SITE doesn't. Yet conform to those PoTA, fields, so
Speaker 3: what you can do though is is that you're there's
Speaker 3: a data move utility or a copy move because THEY
Speaker 3: want YOU to. Use the, sig the sig fields so
Speaker 3: yeah you. Can just copy within the tool there's a
Speaker 3: data copy tool in here that enables you to basically
Speaker 3: move those fields OR copy those fields to, the sig
Speaker 3: fields or vice versa if you want to do it
Speaker 3: that way before. You, upload them to the potacite, eventually
Speaker 3: once they get that done you won't, you won't have
Speaker 3: to do that but that's the, Way, it. Is.
Speaker 1: Good to know okay yep cool.
Speaker 3: So so basically that's kind of you know what what
Speaker 3: we've been up to the database is sequel, light like, a,
Speaker 3: show over, here and it's uh you know part of
Speaker 3: what we needed To do to get away from Microsoft
Speaker 3: a Bit and and be mac and linux compliant because
Speaker 3: we're not going to run not Going to Run. Access. On,
Speaker 3: on linux or max yeah yeah that gets. That piece, out, of,
Speaker 3: the way, good yep okay yep.
Speaker 1: All, right cool over, here over here by.
Speaker 3: The way just one other THING to point out is
Speaker 3: that i can ALTHOUGH, GREEN ones are people calling cq
Speaker 3: i can FILTER it down just to where I. Only
Speaker 3: see the people calling cq. I'M gonna call one of
Speaker 3: them i can, show those that are calling me and
Speaker 3: those are those have left, the screen from a while ago.
Speaker 3: BECAUSE we don't save THEM forever i. Can see someone
Speaker 3: cq or ME so this is one that I use
Speaker 3: quite often because if i WANT to work some stations,
Speaker 3: AND i don't see you know i got to be
Speaker 3: able to See people responding to me if I'M. Calling,
Speaker 3: them when, they're, Calling, cq right so right yep. Okay
Speaker 3: THERE'S somebody responding to me, IF i click once on
Speaker 3: this i. Can see His Picture over Here This, Is.
Speaker 3: Troy greenberg in, Falls. City OREGON hello to you troy
Speaker 3: if i let's see where come up here and we can. And,
Speaker 3: see where he's working from well. He's kind of out
Speaker 3: by seaside Have? YOU ever been. To, that hamfest i.
Speaker 1: Have not no it's.
Speaker 3: Really cool it's, it's north of where he, is a
Speaker 3: bitting on the coast But. It's it's a Really Cool
Speaker 3: hamfest so here's the qso i've completed that one and. It's,
Speaker 3: going back into. The list good it's just easy, this, is, how,
Speaker 3: we communicate, today right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true very true, very true.
Speaker 3: Recontrol by the way it is just to, say a
Speaker 3: little bit about recontrol the. Way recontrol is constructed right
Speaker 3: now it takes us a fairly long time to add
Speaker 3: radios to it because radios have, to be added by
Speaker 3: a developer. And we're moving away from that so the
Speaker 3: radio commands and the profiles for radios will be in
Speaker 3: files that are external to the soft SIMILAR to the
Speaker 3: way that the, PoTA files are external to software or
Speaker 3: the country. List is external to the software so when
Speaker 3: we add, new when new radios are introduced we'll be
Speaker 3: able to add the radios and people can download them
Speaker 3: without having to wait for. A software released to do it. So,
Speaker 3: we've already framed that up well. We'll be testing that
Speaker 3: fairly soon.
Speaker 1: AS someone asked earlier, about the yasuft seven to ten
Speaker 1: they said, It WASN'T in your dropdown list. SO i
Speaker 1: guess that's it's.
Speaker 3: Not i have one right here it's actually like, right
Speaker 3: LIKE here on my SCREEN and i use the ft
Speaker 3: a profile and it works pretty, WELL and, no problems
Speaker 3: with that I mean the only problem here's, greg's one
Speaker 3: of our beta. Testers, so, He's, he's answering me, NOW
Speaker 3: hey greg if you're. Listening i hope You're. Doing well, he's.
Speaker 3: Down around waco oh yeah okay so some other things
Speaker 3: that we've done lately is. That just to be real transparent,
Speaker 3: when when six' nine came out, a whole lot of
Speaker 3: people downloaded it and we changed some things in the
Speaker 3: software where people, will had to go and find things
Speaker 3: and one of the cool things about. The software just
Speaker 3: to point out, something if, you were going to go
Speaker 3: for example you wanted to configure filters and you're not,
Speaker 3: exactly sure how to use this screen there's a, question
Speaker 3: marked down on the lower, left and if you click
Speaker 3: on THAT you Probably won't see this because, i think
Speaker 3: i'm only sharing one screen but, that if you click
Speaker 3: on this button that will take you To, The, Hang
Speaker 3: on man. Hang on greg sorry i'm answering you the
Speaker 3: watchdog shut. Off and it wasn't answering him back but,
Speaker 3: if you click on this question mark it'll take you
Speaker 3: to the exact page and the manual that answers all
Speaker 3: the questions about what do, you have to do to
Speaker 3: configure that, which is, pretty handy BECAUSE people say you know?
Speaker 3: How do i? Get to your manual where's, your manual
Speaker 3: and it's all online now which is a downer for PEOPLE.
Speaker 3: Who like to have it. In pdf but it changes
Speaker 3: quite often but we tried to, Make it easy by
Speaker 3: just for example, i'll Just open up a, QSO here
Speaker 3: if i'm in this one i can click on this
Speaker 3: question MARK down in the lower right if i want
Speaker 3: to find out how to. Use or configure some of
Speaker 3: these things that's an explanation for everything that's. On, the that's, On, The.
Speaker 1: Screen there YEAH makes Sense okay.
Speaker 3: Okay so now i got greg in. The Log. For Like.
Speaker 3: The fiftieth time thanks Greg, interesting greg greg grew up in,
Speaker 3: indiana like ten miles from my house and we didn't
Speaker 3: Know each other Till we Got to, Texas and through
Speaker 3: humory of deluxe anyway so we had like, this demand
Speaker 3: increased demand, for tech support and to be. Honest we
Speaker 3: got crushed a little bit basically we had. Two and
Speaker 3: A Half people in. Support there was kevin ferry. And
Speaker 3: myself i'm the half a Person so the reason why
Speaker 3: you see steve kind of in The in the call
Speaker 3: today is that steve graciously joined, us recently and participating
Speaker 3: in tech support and. We're really pleased to have him
Speaker 3: aboard it's been it's been nice having another pair Of hands.
Speaker 3: And really Great. To have steve. Aboard so. Thanks steve.
Speaker 1: Good it's fun it's fun steve will probably start Asking
Speaker 1: random uh quiz, like, questions, on facebook about it.
Speaker 3: Soon so.
Speaker 1: Hey that's. A good idea i'm. Running out of it
Speaker 1: Is a idea so We'll be At.
Speaker 3: We'll be at the orlando ham casion steve will be
Speaker 3: in the booth as much as, he's able to be
Speaker 3: in the. Booth and we're looking, forward to it always a.
Speaker 3: Good show always a lot of fun so we We're In.
Speaker 3: THE booth Directly across from, giga parts i know steve.
Speaker 3: Enjoys that so we'll be right there he won't he.
Speaker 3: Won't have a hard time finding it. It will just
Speaker 3: be easier, to park. Easier to park this year, For
Speaker 3: sure so as you can see, i'm still putting people in,
Speaker 3: the log, and and once they do, you know they're
Speaker 3: immediately in the log and the. The before kind OF
Speaker 3: like it's up so there's a B four column before
Speaker 3: tells me that i've worked that particular station on, the
Speaker 3: same band and mode group before so the. Mode group
Speaker 3: in this case. It's digital that's why it lit. Up.
Speaker 3: I'M now answering someone else here yep i don't know
Speaker 3: if some Of our social media, managers posted that i'm on. Forty.
Speaker 3: Meters BUT we'll get some action.
Speaker 1: Okay so i know you wanted to, talk about subscriptions
Speaker 1: and upgrades and whatnot and someone just asked? Them how?
Speaker 1: Much is it a year or, so, once you address.
Speaker 1: THAT real quick.
Speaker 3: Here, we lose them.
Speaker 1: I don't know there you're, back now, it, FROZE for
Speaker 1: a second. But yeah, no i think, it's.
Speaker 3: Okay so right so you know there's we, get a
Speaker 3: question every now and then? Which is and this is
Speaker 3: really important and it's really, important because for a lot
Speaker 3: of reasons not The least of, Which is that we,
Speaker 3: ham radio operators, i'm, going to say are, very frugal
Speaker 3: Right stated stated another way the average ham radio operator,
Speaker 3: Could pinch a. PENNY till it squeals so we're, frugal,
Speaker 3: i get, QUESTIONS from people, saying HEY you know i
Speaker 3: bought this like. I bought YOUR software ten years ago
Speaker 3: uh do i have to buy it again in order
Speaker 3: to use, in order to DOWNLOAD the latest version or
Speaker 3: what do i need to? Pay for to download the,
Speaker 3: latest version and the answer, is nothing because we, don't
Speaker 3: sell upgrades we don't sell versions and. We don't sell
Speaker 3: subscriptions on the software so. Here's, the way to think
Speaker 3: about that ken if you've purchased the software from us at,
Speaker 3: any point in time in the past you should go
Speaker 3: to our website and. Download the software and install, it
Speaker 3: today because you've. Paid. For it you're entitled to it
Speaker 3: now there's some there are cases where there are new
Speaker 3: features that have been released and they if they were
Speaker 3: released after your, new features and support period has expired then,
Speaker 3: then you wouldn't have access. To them but you may
Speaker 3: not care so. That's kind of the way, that works
Speaker 3: so the first thing is if you've, purchased it from.
Speaker 3: Us in the past go. Download it IT doesn't cost
Speaker 3: you anything if you i, had, A guy the.
Speaker 5: Other, day says, well i, bought version six dot, SEVEN dot, whatever,
Speaker 5: and so you, know i said well actually you.
Speaker 3: Did and you didn't. Buy any version we don't sell
Speaker 3: versions we sell perpetual software license and a and a
Speaker 3: key that will activate any. Current or future, version of,
Speaker 3: the software so you know for no for. No cost
Speaker 3: for no charge To You go to hand www dot
Speaker 3: hamry deluxe dot com. And download the software. And install
Speaker 3: it have a nice day i'm going, To try to
Speaker 3: sell the. New features there's no doubt about. That i'm
Speaker 3: not bashful about saying so but, you don't, NEED to
Speaker 3: BUY Them, unless for example I showed hrd. Alert which
Speaker 3: is what i'm using here there are other. Options for
Speaker 3: doing this on the market you. Can use those if
Speaker 3: you want to i'm constantly, trying to improve the software
Speaker 3: so that Uh so that people want to buy renewal
Speaker 3: because it gets two features and support, a, LOT of
Speaker 3: people used, to Say well i don't need support so. I'm,
Speaker 3: not going to buy the renewal, well the renewal is
Speaker 3: not just support. It's for THE new FEATURE as well
Speaker 3: so there's i get, i, HAD somebody the other day
Speaker 3: says well. I do want to BUY the renewal i
Speaker 3: downloaded the software I got on the, latest version, and
Speaker 3: i really want to. You know USE some of these?
Speaker 3: Features what do I? Have to do will you buy
Speaker 3: renewal we send out. Deals for them every now and
Speaker 3: then the regular price for, that is forty nine to
Speaker 3: ninety nine and you can buy it for less than that,
Speaker 3: probably if you get the right deal and that will
Speaker 3: catch you up for all the features that you've been
Speaker 3: missing out on and any that, are released over the
Speaker 3: next twelve months and you're good go unlimited access to tech.
Speaker 3: Support and all that kind of, stuff so it's, a pretty. Good,
Speaker 3: deal PRETTY good.
Speaker 1: Deal good, Good?
Speaker 3: Okay, did. I Explain that well steve yes perfect.
Speaker 1: Now i'm probably gonna. Have tons of, Tickets in the.
Speaker 3: MORNING you probably will you probably will i mean the thing,
Speaker 3: OF it is is we want fundamentally i want people
Speaker 3: to be, able, To, Use the software bottom line right
Speaker 3: yeah and, if they've purchased it in the Past, then
Speaker 3: as as they, say in, australia get on you mate
Speaker 3: go go go downloaded And get it going right and
Speaker 3: h so you. Know that's that's the, most important thing
Speaker 3: and then you, know if if you want the features
Speaker 3: you have. The option to to do the renewal but the.
Speaker 3: Main thing is get on this version we've had about,
Speaker 3: ten percent of the population, thus far GET on it
Speaker 3: so far. AND and i want to see that. I
Speaker 3: want to, see that, number, increase, So.
Speaker 1: Good yeah oh yeah yeah absolutely.
Speaker 3: Sally forth and go and get, It, Downloaded and have
Speaker 3: A go right.
Speaker 1: Oh mark in, for BCDs and the chat He says
Speaker 1: he's not Decoding, you in tennessee.
Speaker 3: Like he's.
Speaker 1: In tennessee but.
Speaker 6: That's where he.
Speaker 4: LIVES that could that could be true I was gonna
Speaker 4: say he's got his christmas tree still let up on
Speaker 4: his tower.
Speaker 1: And He's using that as his.
Speaker 3: Antennae i'm i'm like AT twenty seven hundred hertz that's
Speaker 3: where i am in the waterfall, And seventy seventy four and,
Speaker 3: uh WELL i'm using by the way because i. Get this,
Speaker 3: Question every now And then right now. I'm using a
Speaker 3: Flex Sixty Four Hundred. Shout out to ham remote hand
Speaker 3: radio they allow me to use their radios for demos
Speaker 3: because the stuff works. A LOT better Than my radios
Speaker 3: do so i have i'm Connecting TO, their Sixty Four
Speaker 3: Hundred using smart sdr and ham radio deluxe is perfectly
Speaker 3: Happy TO connect to the Radio three smart sdr and
Speaker 3: and THEN smart IS, Also connecting to Ws j t
Speaker 3: x and that's. How? I'm, getting decodes in my screen.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, OKAY keep kicking in my light okay i got
Speaker 1: a couple. Of questions, Here from follow ups earlier thank
Speaker 1: you DON for retyping that don. N five SKT lives,
Speaker 1: out by, me when will i guess IF Ever When
Speaker 1: will the software support Tci TRANSCEIVER control interface used. On
Speaker 1: the sun sdr and non radios when?
Speaker 3: We, Finished the rewrite for rig control okay and so that's. THAT'S,
Speaker 3: what WE'RE working on, RIGHT now i like i said
Speaker 3: earlier i don't think it's a big lift. To do.
Speaker 3: The rewrite on rig control the works the, work HAD
Speaker 3: actually begun a year ago but i stopped work on
Speaker 3: rig control because of getting. Log book, out before Holidays
Speaker 3: this year but uh we're, we're we're already back into rig.
Speaker 3: CONTROL so it shouldn't. Be too long i get that
Speaker 3: question it's there's like two people that. Will ASK that
Speaker 3: QUESTION every. SINGLE time BUT i wish i could i. Wish,
Speaker 3: i could accelerate THIS for, them, man what does seem
Speaker 3: i know like what do you HAVE to DO to cause?
Speaker 3: W s, j t x two. Automatically i mean it
Speaker 3: just it QUITS. It TAKES itself off of t x
Speaker 3: and i didn't expect to see that because, it's. Been
Speaker 3: behaving perfectly for you know years.
Speaker 1: I've, had mine do that to me before, JUST kind.
Speaker 1: OF at random but uh i don't. I don't REMEMBER
Speaker 1: WHAT the FIX was i think i i THINK i
Speaker 1: was running AN older version. I, just upgraded if. I
Speaker 1: remember CORRECTLY.
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe that's, it i'm, running UH two dot six
Speaker 3: dot one and i think there's A plenty newer one
Speaker 3: out IN that I. COULD go to j. T d
Speaker 3: x i might DO that.
Speaker 1: Another question IS can can hrd connect to? Fl? Rig,
Speaker 1: versus direct to the radio.
Speaker 3: Uh you there. Are ways that you can do that
Speaker 3: the downside of doing that is that and and this
Speaker 3: is one of the challenges for us with with adding
Speaker 3: new radios is that if you TAKE some of those
Speaker 3: programs like, fl Rig or omni rig and others and I'M,
Speaker 3: not REAL familiar with with fl rig so i. Just
Speaker 3: use omni rig as the example but omni rig only
Speaker 3: really supports a small HANDFUL of commands like, frequency mode
Speaker 3: VF O, split you KNOW V F o. A. V.
Speaker 3: F o b yea da yeah yeah those command. In these,
Speaker 3: radios don't change very, often in fact the manufacturers would
Speaker 3: say we want to stick with the same commands as
Speaker 3: we go. Forward, because it's, less work for them sometimes
Speaker 3: you know sometimes you have a radio that didn't support the.
Speaker 3: Mode dig you or something like that so there's a.
Speaker 3: New kind of Extension to that command but that's WHY
Speaker 3: i'm using the nine ninety. One, a for the seven
Speaker 3: to ten so but our approach is that we actually
Speaker 3: program every single command and, the command reference manual for
Speaker 3: the radio and that's part of what. Takes us a
Speaker 3: little bit, of time, so if YOU were, To for
Speaker 3: example and like I said i'm GOING to stick with.
Speaker 3: Omni rig because i know it Better if, you were
Speaker 3: going to use omni rig none of the filtering commands
Speaker 3: in rig control would work because. They're not, supported for
Speaker 3: for most. RADIOS so okay it's a little harder i
Speaker 3: actually try TO discourage, it because it's just not i
Speaker 3: mean there's there's several different kind of unique use cases,
Speaker 3: where somebody might want to do that and usually it's
Speaker 3: because they've got various other different software they, want to
Speaker 3: use at the same time and there, are other ways,
Speaker 3: To get around that and you know i'm happy to
Speaker 3: help them with, whatever kind of specific circumstance they've got
Speaker 3: but it's normally, better to stick with our rig control
Speaker 3: even if you want to split the Comport, And, use
Speaker 3: fl Rigor ammy rig otherwise.
Speaker 1: Okay let's see, steve Answered this question in the chat
Speaker 1: but i'm gonna. Read it anyway, for everybody else's benefit
Speaker 1: jody is asking? What is the perpetual license, tied, to,
Speaker 1: is it a call Sign. Name email all of those
Speaker 1: and steve steve answered. That is connected. To YOUR call sign.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is so i say, it's it's married to
Speaker 3: your call sign but it's it's your unique customer identify,
Speaker 3: and our system is your email address and it's your
Speaker 3: email address Because our. Systems weren't built built, for ham
Speaker 3: radio so the web store the Web. Store is on
Speaker 3: a platform Called. ULTRACAR the, licensing platform is called sirocco
Speaker 3: i mean there's there's, a number of different players in
Speaker 3: here so they. Don't know they don't know call sign
Speaker 3: so we literally use the. Company, field as the call
Speaker 3: sign field. Oh we we do look for that so,
Speaker 3: if you were to buy the software you're going. To
Speaker 3: install it with your call sign we, get your email
Speaker 3: address and that way if you ever need your software,
Speaker 3: key at a later date and time you use. That
Speaker 3: email address to get your key if you, happen to
Speaker 3: change your call sign later there's a there's a self
Speaker 3: service method for doing that, or we can do that
Speaker 3: for you but it's pretty. Much tied to, your call sign,
Speaker 3: henceforth another cool thing by the way because usually right,
Speaker 3: after that question we get this ONE which Is how
Speaker 3: Many computers? Can i install hammery to? Deluxe, on and
Speaker 3: the answer is five five so you, can have five
Speaker 3: concurrent and concurrent activations which is part of the reason
Speaker 3: why we restricted by call. Sign, and, email address like
Speaker 3: we do.
Speaker 1: Okay. Uh there was another one in here let's see
Speaker 1: do you have a do you have a? Glimpse of
Speaker 1: the new planned regular face is that something you? Can
Speaker 1: SHOW us, OR.
Speaker 3: Let. Me see because i did. I could i've got
Speaker 3: THE version seven let, me see if, i can find
Speaker 3: that because it's cool because, It really kind of just
Speaker 3: for clarity we've been working. On, that Topic for quite
Speaker 3: some time yeah and i've showed, it at different times
Speaker 3: in the, past, and, people are going. To say oh
Speaker 3: well you're making it you're trying TO make it look LIKE.
Speaker 3: Win for. YASU or, win for icm not really i
Speaker 3: mean we've been working. On this for a very long
Speaker 3: time but. It will have a, radio looking interface hang
Speaker 3: ON a second let me see if i. Can find
Speaker 3: going into the Wayback machine.
Speaker 1: HAVE you been Working With, marcus with. Fdr Control for
Speaker 1: mac no. Not yet something Dawn wanted to know he
Speaker 1: makes the He makes The. Mac, os, software For icon and.
Speaker 3: Flex OKAY okay.
Speaker 1: Mac, os in iOS both. I believe.
Speaker 3: Yeah so.
Speaker 1: Pretty nifty software.
Speaker 3: Let's see i'm still looking for that do?
Speaker 1: You need a third PARTY. Application between It connects directly.
Speaker 3: At hrd that's what i'm doing now it's just BY
Speaker 3: virtue of the. Way of how i shared the screen,
Speaker 3: i've got a forty nine inch screen, so if you
Speaker 3: share the full screen it'll be so. Small THAT no
Speaker 3: one can see. It so I only shared THE window
Speaker 3: and so i've actually GOT wsjtx, sitting on top of
Speaker 3: kecontrol r sorry, on top of a log book here
Speaker 3: but you can't see it. Because, it did PART of the. Screen, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a second i. Might have actually nope, That's not it.
Speaker 3: I'm getting closer though i'll find it.
Speaker 1: If you have one of your, five registered computers in
Speaker 1: the computer crashes, you lose a hard drive or something?
Speaker 1: How do you get that computer Unregistered.
Speaker 3: You go to my keys dot hamradio deluxe dot Com
Speaker 3: and you can put in your you can you can
Speaker 3: either obtain your email or your key, there if you
Speaker 3: don't know your key. Or you can put in your
Speaker 3: key it will, show you the computers that are, registered
Speaker 3: and once you get the list you can. DECIDE which
Speaker 3: ones you want to, deactivate? I guess that's right with it.
Speaker 1: Gotcha Kind, Of, like deactivating your, Kindle On amazon yeah.
Speaker 3: Or you know microsoft office or whatever. It. Works, pretty much.
Speaker 1: The same way yep okay let's see and. THIS IS
Speaker 1: this is a good question, I, i Think it does
Speaker 1: this already tim but i'm gonna ask. This because this
Speaker 1: is a good question any plans on loading the logs
Speaker 1: into the cloud so that you. Can share logs between
Speaker 1: your five.
Speaker 3: COMPUTERS you can actually, do THAT today i.
Speaker 1: Thought, you, could but i wasn't sure okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah so By, default today The database is sequel light
Speaker 3: and sequel light is a a very, common what it's called.
Speaker 3: An embedded database but it doesn't share, so you we've
Speaker 3: got multi multi stations club stations that, are doing exactly
Speaker 3: what Was asked There and they install my sequel or
Speaker 3: maria database and they're able to basically share the, access
Speaker 3: to the database in real time, whether it's, on a
Speaker 3: local you know shared drive or you can put it
Speaker 3: in a. Cloud Uh server if you want to the
Speaker 3: the problem is is that, because OF the WAY people
Speaker 3: would say, can i Can? I, use one drive drop. Box,
Speaker 3: Box yeah, that that doesn't work yeah and Frankly. It's
Speaker 3: not a limitation of hammrateed aluxe it just doesn't work.
Speaker 3: Because those technologies are file. Synchronization technologies they're not file
Speaker 3: sharing technologies so when multiple stations get on, those and
Speaker 3: try to access those files it ends. Up creating copies
Speaker 3: of the same file you'd have The same problem if
Speaker 3: it was an. Excel spreadsheet or word document or whatever.
Speaker 3: So you can't do it that way but the multi
Speaker 3: multi stations we've got are using either you can designate
Speaker 3: one of the computers on your network, to be the
Speaker 3: host of the database, or you can you can you know,
Speaker 3: buy a cloud server and you know probably ten dollars a.
Speaker 3: Month and you can put It there it can, even
Speaker 3: be running. Linux for that matter Doesn't Really matter if,
Speaker 3: you can Get maria database in stall it's probably maria dB, is.
Speaker 3: Probably the easiest one to do gotcha then you can
Speaker 3: get and then. You. Can, get to it from anywhere
Speaker 3: yeah yeah but we're actually gonna. Eventually we'll, offer that
Speaker 3: as a service you know we're we have to, get
Speaker 3: all this other stuff done first but it's my. Intention. To, offer. That.
Speaker 3: As a service yep.
Speaker 1: Okay Okay uh, several people keep asking about, linux support
Speaker 1: so we covered this earlier. And thank you if you
Speaker 1: joining us if, you didn't join us at the. Beginning
Speaker 1: then thank. You for joining us now we'll look the
Speaker 1: version you're seeing on the screen right now is. Six
Speaker 1: dot nine Dot something.
Speaker 3: Zero dot this is actually, i'm, on a pre release
Speaker 3: version here. OKAY which is seventeen five twenty one i
Speaker 3: think the. Release, version, is seventeen.
Speaker 7: Sixteen five ten yeah okay but there they've been working on,
Speaker 7: version seven for couple, of years now a lot of
Speaker 7: updates a.
Speaker 1: Lot of rewrites going on in, databases and when seven
Speaker 1: version Seven, Drops it Will. Be supported, on windows mac
Speaker 1: and linux so yep all of.
Speaker 3: What you, did and. Multi, multi, lingual, as well.
Speaker 1: Multi lingual cool Yes sir, that's, great they have.
Speaker 3: Good uh yeah. Okay nobody's calling nobody's. CALLING me now
Speaker 3: things are slowing, DOWN i did just for the record
Speaker 3: i PUT uh how many new QSOs? Did i? Put
Speaker 3: in the record here like fourteen while. We've been. Sitting. There.
Speaker 1: During the stream that's good okay yeah here.
Speaker 3: Here's something that that's new as well you can. See
Speaker 3: over here in This this field This is the, log
Speaker 3: book of the world scent field and. You can see
Speaker 3: these are all cued the ones, before this are all set,
Speaker 3: to yes and you can see yes and you can
Speaker 3: even see. Whether they were verified or not yet just
Speaker 3: all the new QSOs, just have them show. Up as
Speaker 3: cued AND so they did so, NOW if i want
Speaker 3: to upload. Them i click on The upload button So
Speaker 3: this is the logbook of the World and it Says
Speaker 3: upload all where, logbook of the world sent is. CUED
Speaker 3: and it tells me they're FOURTEEN i could. View them
Speaker 3: here if i wanted TO. I'm going. To save this
Speaker 3: guy's qso thank you i'm ACTUALLY in that and come
Speaker 3: back because I don't want to see if, his qso actually.
Speaker 3: Shows up. As, cued Because it wasn't there's fifteen. Okay
Speaker 3: so i'm Going to, upload them and so now i'm
Speaker 3: done and then you're going to see all of these
Speaker 3: Now turned to. Yes automatically showing that i've uploaded them
Speaker 3: so it's a lot easier. Than having to, select them
Speaker 3: or whatever what you know it's just kind of a
Speaker 3: hands off kind, of approach to getting the. Job, done
Speaker 3: if that makes any sense okay but, that's that's new
Speaker 3: award trackings up here so you, CAN see that in
Speaker 3: My awards tracking i Have. Worked two i'm just looking at.
Speaker 3: Dix you see at the movement moment i've worked two thousand.
Speaker 3: And six hundred and ninety seven countries i've. Confirmed twenty
Speaker 3: six hundred and sixty eight i've got. Twenty nine outstanding
Speaker 3: banded countries TO confirm i've got twelve confirmations that. I
Speaker 3: HAVEN'T yet submitted for, the award, if i want TO
Speaker 3: see FOR example the ones, that i haven't i haven't
Speaker 3: submitted yet go, out to like thirty METERS or no here's.
Speaker 3: Here's ones that i need to confirm. I'm going to
Speaker 3: go to thirty meters i'll double. Click HERE it shows
Speaker 3: me the, countries if i Click for you all it's
Speaker 3: going to these are all THE QSOs for those five
Speaker 3: countries that i should GO chase them for a confirmation. If,
Speaker 3: i want to get Those, done wow there's a lot of.
Speaker 3: NOW there's a lot of action, here i, don't know
Speaker 3: what happened here but uh.
Speaker 1: You were Showing us how To how to Update logbook, of,
Speaker 1: the world automatically or i'm sorry manually but people are
Speaker 1: asking can? It can it not? Be done automatically it does? It,
Speaker 1: automatically you, just leave.
Speaker 3: It right no right now? It, doesn't oh it does it,
Speaker 3: not okay, EVERYTHING, else does, so Basically, club log eqsl,
Speaker 3: hrd log dot. Net cure s Log those are Automatic,
Speaker 3: the problem with logbook of the world maybe it's, just
Speaker 3: a mental block on my part Is that there's No
Speaker 3: way that in logbook of the world. That you can
Speaker 3: do anything with mistakes so if you got, the call wrong,
Speaker 3: and you upload it, once it's uploaded you. Can't correct
Speaker 3: it you can't delete it, so if you automate that
Speaker 3: upload it it might be a bad idea, if you
Speaker 3: didn't get the call right which is why we added
Speaker 3: the cue thing. Up here just to make that easier
Speaker 3: so it's kind of a couple of clicks versus having to.
Speaker 3: Find and Select Them and upload Them and the log
Speaker 3: book of the world folks don't. Really like people uploading
Speaker 3: in real time, they ask developers not to do that and.
Speaker 3: So far we've complied with that.
Speaker 1: Request gotch good to know.
Speaker 6: You've only buffered like, once Or twice i'm on dial
Speaker 6: up so i've, got.
Speaker 3: The, Best connection Out of it.
Speaker 1: Y'all well i've seen mike freeze like maybe half a.
Speaker 1: Dozen times throughout, This whole last hour that's weird though
Speaker 1: but it was like it was like, one and a
Speaker 1: half To two seconds. And During that, time, Steve was
Speaker 1: fine so i'm like okay. I'm going to completely fire
Speaker 1: at ohesh but but People are. Some people are saying, that,
Speaker 1: i'm buffering some, People ARE saying no. He's never buffered so.
Speaker 3: I don't know you, Did, it one point a while
Speaker 3: back okay, But, it's it's, IT'S been a.
Speaker 1: While okay, all right i don't know It's yeah. It's
Speaker 1: somewhere between, THE three. Internet connections, It's it's buffered i
Speaker 1: guess but well.
Speaker 3: I'm two two and a half gig up.
Speaker 1: And two and a half gig, down, Oh, you should
Speaker 1: be fine Then. Yeah well and, it could Be zoom
Speaker 1: you know again. You frozen. Zoom a Couple of times
Speaker 1: very well. Could be Zoom and not your internet so.
Speaker 1: Sometimes zoom kind, Of freaks, out too you NEVER know
Speaker 1: but yeah.
Speaker 6: Do we support i saw one for do we support
Speaker 6: let's scroll up, it KIND of gaming here it is
Speaker 6: does hrd support accessibility? Features for blind, or low vision
Speaker 6: hands That's a first THAT'S. THE first question i've seen.
Speaker 6: ON i, i don't have an answer i.
Speaker 3: Mean what what we have to do what what we
Speaker 3: end up Doing is h we conform to the. Windows
Speaker 3: out of the box accessibility functions, so that's that's, one
Speaker 3: of the benefits by The Way To, writing your software
Speaker 3: using microsoft's visual studio because it's always going to be.
Speaker 3: Compatible with things, like the accessibility stuff and you know
Speaker 3: there there are other tools on the planet that Are
Speaker 3: that are used, for ACCESSIBILITY that i'm not familiar with,
Speaker 3: and I couldn't speak to them directly but I know
Speaker 3: that we're compatible with the Windows. Accessibility functions that, Are
Speaker 3: BUILT into.
Speaker 1: Windows uh if yeah so. I. Don't HAVE a co host,
Speaker 1: tonight guys if i. Missed your question please. Type it
Speaker 1: again i'm. Not ignoring questions i'm, LOOKING for questions but you.
Speaker 1: Know what i might have missed it so unless you're
Speaker 1: that one jackass that was coming in there with the
Speaker 1: foul language AND we kicked him so, He had gm,
Speaker 1: mors in his name so oh. HEY take that. FOR
Speaker 1: what it's WORTH i don't.
Speaker 3: Know I saw some i saw somebody, on ft eight
Speaker 3: here a while ago so like last. Week spewing, a bunch,
Speaker 3: of political hatred let's say you know. There's just No,
Speaker 3: room for that stuff. People, should yeah, this is a
Speaker 3: hobby yeah. You know treat it like a HOBBY and
Speaker 3: it's kind of like if i go to, see A
Speaker 3: performer like a rock concert all i want. Them to
Speaker 3: do is sing and play i'm not interested in. Your,
Speaker 3: commentary what.
Speaker 1: They, have to, say yeah that's. Right yeah all right
Speaker 1: here's his? Question CAN you please show how to and

Speaker 3: RIG control screen yet. All right yeah i MEAN oddly
Speaker 3: enough let me make sure i don't. Have ANYBODY calling
Speaker 3: ME here real quick so i think i just got
Speaker 3: THAT one, in the. Log and, if i did mhm
Speaker 3: maybe so basically all You Really have to do Is
Speaker 3: Install google earth, and then once google earth is installed
Speaker 3: there are a couple. Of different ways you can use,
Speaker 3: it there's A the COORDINATES over here and, if i if.
Speaker 3: I hover over, it it'll tell me it's called tooltips.
Speaker 3: But it'll tell you what it does it Says The.
Speaker 3: Station's latitude AND longitude and google, earth so, if i
Speaker 3: click on this. It'll oh, YOU'RE not, EVEN seeing that hang.
Speaker 1: On i see i see you mousing. Over, something, on that, Left,
Speaker 1: hand Column.
Speaker 3: Yeah Okay hang on yeah because I'M gonna i'm gonna Unshare,
Speaker 3: HERE if, I can find the yeah i mean i'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna end up sharing a larger screen but let's see.
Speaker 1: What time frame for when next release? Is, going to
Speaker 1: be for with seven yeah. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: asked that, we answered that. Question, already earlier too but
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's it's, impossible to say when on version seven
Speaker 3: and my WIFE wants. To kill me, every time i
Speaker 3: speculate but you know it's a, it's a process of getting,
Speaker 3: you know all OF the you KNOW getting rig Control
Speaker 3: dm seven. Eighty sat track and rotor control redeveloped that's.
Speaker 3: What's that's what has to, get done it can't happen

Speaker 1: contacts you've made.
Speaker 3: Yeah Yeah yeah yeah so that's. What i'm i'm. Going
Speaker 3: to do here let's see here i'm trying to figure
Speaker 3: out the best way to, do this without blowing up
Speaker 3: your screen but especially. If PEOPLE have accessibility kind of
Speaker 3: challenges can i can you share a screen section or do?
Speaker 3: You have to share the? Whole, screen you CAN share a.
Speaker 3: Window yeah, that's what I was doing but yeah then,
Speaker 3: When I try to, put you know google. Earth UP

Speaker 1: Apologize, Just go ahead AND do it well i'll see.
Speaker 1: If i, can resize it.
Speaker 3: From here oh, Yeah see if you can do? That, See,
Speaker 3: if you can do that.
Speaker 1: Uh okay so you're, sharing like, THE whole wide screen now,
Speaker 1: huh yeah i don't. Have, a world but there you. Go,
Speaker 1: okay that's a little bit better.
Speaker 3: Okay are you over Here on the right hand side where.
Speaker 1: I'M ON THE left HAND side where. W s j
Speaker 1: t x is showing.

Speaker 3: We're Here on The right hand pain So i'm, gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put in. Steve's Call, and i've, done this
Speaker 3: before so steve. Poor Guy lives at a post office so.
Speaker 3: I'm Gonna put that. Up OVER here here's, steve's lat
Speaker 3: long if i click this It's automatically going TO, take
Speaker 3: me to steve's q t h. Which, pretty sure as
Speaker 3: a mailbox, Postbox, no this THIS is your house? Steve
Speaker 3: or did i type your.
Speaker 1: Calling that's where the. Remote, that's, where, The remote station.
Speaker 3: IS okay okay okay SO that's why i and so.
Speaker 3: What i WAS showing a while ago so if, i
Speaker 3: GO in now twenty different, Stations so i lit them
Speaker 3: all up i'm Gonna Right, click go to look up
Speaker 3: google earth and then it's basically Going To show, me
Speaker 3: on one one google earth screen which is kind of
Speaker 3: Cool where all, the stations were that i've WORKED, there
Speaker 3: all all all in the us and you can see
Speaker 3: kind of Like the spread of stations, in the West
Speaker 3: coast or you Know. Throughout the midwest up. Into the
Speaker 3: northeast is kind of cool one. Of the things that
Speaker 3: we're gonna, do we actually started to do this but
Speaker 3: we backed off of it BECAUSE it wasn't kind. Of
Speaker 3: the WAY i WANTED it yet but eventually, I, think
Speaker 3: i mentioned this, while ago jason as you make QSOs
Speaker 3: AS you add QSOs to your log i want them,
Speaker 3: to automatically, Pop up on this screen, right yeah so then,
Speaker 3: you could actually like in real time be, able to
Speaker 3: see where, your you, know. Where. Your QSOs are right
Speaker 3: right yeah yeah. There's several different ways that you, can
Speaker 3: there's THAT'S the most common way two Ways I, guess
Speaker 3: to to work with google earth and what it actually
Speaker 3: does is when you when you basically click on one
Speaker 3: Of These. Things or send SOMETHING to google earth it's
Speaker 3: SENDING something, i think it's called a kml FILE but
Speaker 3: it's Your Lat long in kml format and google earth
Speaker 3: will basically take that and draw the line or. Find
Speaker 3: the find that particular thatt long we HAD somebody the
Speaker 3: other day who, said i can't get it To work
Speaker 3: but their file associations and windows were SET to some
Speaker 3: other application for k. L so that's, WHY it wasn't
Speaker 3: working but once you i think the Fix For. That
Speaker 3: IS to just reinstall google, earth and i Probably Said.
Speaker 3: It correctly But But, it's google earth it's not google
Speaker 3: maps so you can't do it in a in A
Speaker 3: in a. Browser with maps doll Google Dot. Com you
Speaker 3: have to. Install, google, earth, and it's.
Speaker 1: PRETTY cool nice okay.
Speaker 3: Good good good I was still looking For, the PRESENTATION
Speaker 3: i did on On recontrol and i don't know. If i'll,
Speaker 3: be able, to find it it's.
Speaker 1: Okay that's okay that's that's all right, it's something that's.
Speaker 3: Not.
Speaker 1: AVAILABLE yet ANYWAY so that's fine yeah, i don't i
Speaker 1: don't understand this question, but two or three People Have?
Speaker 1: Asked can we print on GOOGLE earth can you print
Speaker 1: this in pdf. Or any other format for sharing purposes.
Speaker 3: I'm Trying to get. The, CONNECTION between google earth.
Speaker 1: And printing yeah i don't. Quite UNDERSTAND what they're what
Speaker 1: they're asking if, I.
Speaker 3: Have THIS right here like this i guess i Could print,
Speaker 3: that it's a function. Within UH well it's kind of
Speaker 3: cool So I could print this MAP from.
Speaker 1: Google earth as a as AF file.
Speaker 3: You, probably printed as. A pdf or so there's. Save
Speaker 3: Pdf so let me, just Do.
Speaker 1: Google earth installed a while. So, i'm not Real familiar
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 3: Well they actually google. Tried. To, abandon IT for a
Speaker 3: while yeah yeah and. I guess a lot of people
Speaker 3: complain so, That's when you. Started to, see uh google
Speaker 3: earth pro BEFORE that It didn't save pro. If, i
Speaker 3: if i'm remembering it correctly yeah.
Speaker 1: People are saying they want to screenshot how do? YOU
Speaker 1: share a screenshot in your Contacts i Guess Like In,
Speaker 1: h in hammers or world radio. League you do a
Speaker 1: SCREENSHOT your Content.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you WHAT i would, i'll tell you what i,
Speaker 3: would do just to be real Honest LET me get
Speaker 3: out of the what i would do Is. There is
Speaker 3: A free. Utility in windows it's called Snipping tool if
Speaker 3: you come to your windows search thing and. Just put
Speaker 3: in snip you get this it comes up, like This
Speaker 3: if you can see this and i'm GOING to click
Speaker 3: on new and then i just basically will HIGHLIGHT the,
Speaker 3: PART of the map that i Mean I don't have
Speaker 3: TO get the google, earth part if i don't want
Speaker 3: to but just kind of highlight, all this STUFF and
Speaker 3: it's got it and THEN i could save this as
Speaker 3: a i want to go ahead, and save it as
Speaker 3: a test map and then, we'll go and look at
Speaker 3: you know WHAT Did it actually look like when i
Speaker 3: i'm going to. Get, RID of that.
Speaker 1: And mm hmm yeah i use the Snipping. Tool all.
Speaker 1: The time instead, of windows it's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is because it just makes you, can even
Speaker 3: do Videos. With. It now which is pretty yeah yeah
Speaker 3: so here's HERE'S basically what that looks LIKE after I.
Speaker 3: Put it in. A, jpeg, or png it's.
Speaker 1: Pretty cool Yeah yeah it looks.
Speaker 3: Good there's there's Greg's. Q T, h. Down, here by waco,
Speaker 3: hi greg.
Speaker 1: Awesome okay by the way.
Speaker 3: Just just does To add something, here this is. What
Speaker 3: i'm saying here let me. Unshare i'm gonna go back
Speaker 3: to Sharing where is my sharing button At i'm going
Speaker 3: to stop share and i'm going to go back to
Speaker 3: sharing just the just logbook because it's just going to
Speaker 3: be a whole. Lot, easier, to see YOU a, Second
Speaker 3: so UH this, Is dx cluster and in dx cluster i've.
Speaker 3: Got the work status indicator filter on there's a lot
Speaker 3: of software where there's this other software has this. Concept
Speaker 3: of needed stations or needed countries we don't We we've
Speaker 3: gotten away with that or i've gotten. Away from that
Speaker 3: with work status indicators so since, logbook already knows what's
Speaker 3: in your log we don't need to know what. The
Speaker 3: stations are or the countries are you just tell it to.
Speaker 3: Show show you The things you need. And right now
Speaker 3: i'm seeing one station there actually need to add them
Speaker 3: to the log. For and CONFIRM them for digital, Modes
Speaker 3: but if i take this off I'VE got two thousand spots.
Speaker 3: OR d x spots that are here i can. Scroll.
Speaker 3: Through them and see what's, there OH another another cool
Speaker 3: thing too which. I think is is really. Pretty COOL
Speaker 3: there's this new, FINE button if I, put in oh
Speaker 3: ok one w cf then it filters THAT list of SPOTS.
Speaker 3: Just down to, OK one, w cf that that alone
Speaker 3: i mean if you don't if you don't get the new.
Speaker 3: Version to get the features that's free that the features
Speaker 3: like this aren't features their. ENHANCEMENTS and and doesn't cost
Speaker 3: you anything i know a lot of people that want
Speaker 3: to they don't necessarily want to use the. Filter to
Speaker 3: find something in, their log they more often than not
Speaker 3: they'll they'll try to sort. By call sign just to
Speaker 3: find something so. You don't have to do. That anymore
Speaker 3: THERE'S a fine button here and IF i put in
Speaker 3: fined and, then i JUST put IN, you know let's
Speaker 3: say w one aw then it's going TO show me ALL,
Speaker 3: the QSOs with w one. A w, which is really
Speaker 3: really handy. I mean that's new and six' nine, it
Speaker 3: gets you to. The exact you know, STATIONS you're looking,
Speaker 3: at you, call in there. I see, it you. KNOW
Speaker 3: all those QSOs very cool very helpful i didn't, even
Speaker 3: ask the, developer TO put that in, and they did
Speaker 3: and i think it's cool. Which happens about ten PERCENT
Speaker 3: of the time they'll put something in i. Didn't, ask
Speaker 3: FOR and actually? Looks? Pretty, cool steve did i miss anything.
Speaker 1: Nope, okay oh.
Speaker 3: Let me add one thing yeah go, ahead, WE have
Speaker 3: folks CONTACTING us and, saying, HEY i put in i
Speaker 3: support requests RIGHT i sent in a ticket and either
Speaker 3: i didn't get a. Response back or or? Someone? CLOSED
Speaker 3: my TICKET so are you okay yeah i, Thought, I
Speaker 3: heard somebody hit the floor anyway. No, I hit.
Speaker 1: My microphone by the mistake, no i'm.
Speaker 3: Good so the process is that and and. So that
Speaker 3: we've got a. Dedicated support Team, they're they're involved all
Speaker 3: day it's like. Steve they're involved all day on outbound
Speaker 3: calls and we we definitely take support. Requests ON a
Speaker 3: first come for serve basis so I could tell a,
Speaker 3: longer Story about why i'm passionate about. That BUT i'll
Speaker 3: save it for another day but i really want to take.
Speaker 3: Customers on a first come for serve basis And if
Speaker 3: somebody calls, on the phone and steve answers the phone
Speaker 3: then HE'S going to make everybody who's been in q wait.
Speaker 3: While we take someone call on the, phone so they're on,
Speaker 3: outbound calls. All day taking them first in first out
Speaker 3: if you if you've reported something that happened to be
Speaker 3: a bug or a, Defect that the support team, Are
Speaker 3: not developers do you? Write? Any, code steve or you
Speaker 3: a developer, no no so he can't write any code.
Speaker 3: So he's not going to fix a bug so what
Speaker 3: he does is if he gets the beta testers or
Speaker 3: me or someone to verify. That what the customers, reported
Speaker 3: as a bug if it's a bug, it'll get added
Speaker 3: to the bug. Tracking system which is where the developers
Speaker 3: work and so there may be let's just say ten
Speaker 3: people call and content. Or contact support and report the
Speaker 3: same thing we, open one bug tracking record for that
Speaker 3: thing and all ten of those tickets will essentially be
Speaker 3: merged into a bug. Tracking ticket that's now in a
Speaker 3: different system so we close these ten with, a reference
Speaker 3: back to this bug tracking, number and when the bug has. Been,
Speaker 3: fixed it'll be, in our release notes now at, this
Speaker 3: point we're getting so few bug reports and the ones we,
Speaker 3: are getting are very unique to specific individuals. So we
Speaker 3: can't reproduce them, in, most cases so what we, do
Speaker 3: is well we'll have a beta build we'll, go back to, the,
Speaker 3: customer that reported it and we'll say hey we've got.
Speaker 3: To release, that we think resolves. Your problem try. This
Speaker 3: see if, it works they report back if. It's good
Speaker 3: then we close out one. Out it gets included in the.
Speaker 3: Next RELEASE if it doesn't fix, their problem then i
Speaker 3: go and, reopen it send it back to the developers
Speaker 3: and we repeat. That process until it resolves their their
Speaker 3: bugs so. That's why folks may see tickets getting. Closed
Speaker 3: it's not that we're dismissing your issue the email that
Speaker 3: you get back will actually give you the tracking number and.
Speaker 3: Tell you why it's being moved to development but that's
Speaker 3: that's a. Question that came up every now. And then
Speaker 3: but don't be alarmed by that it's just that that's
Speaker 3: that's the mechanic for how we get. It To the
Speaker 3: to the. To the developer tech sport's done their job
Speaker 3: now it's. Time. For? The?
Speaker 1: Developers, to do their job gotcha, okay cool, well this
Speaker 1: has been really good very, informative and just in case
Speaker 1: anyone was Wondering We Did not go. Through everything that
Speaker 1: Ham radio deluxe will do we, went through i'm surprised
Speaker 1: it's that much actually so a lot of a. Lot
