Bingo!!! I used a Genovation for K3 control (placing the keypad beside
me at the edge of my desk). Worked great - until the keypad quit. I
reverted back to using HRD.
Then I got an IC-7300 with the touch screen and a stylus. Moved the
radio out on the desk so I can reach it easily (and lost desktop space).
Good radio with lots of modern features and personalization choices.
Then I reverted back using HRD (remember the lost desktop space?).
HRD can be somewhat customized as to what controls are on screen, but it
is a one size fits all system. Hence, with the limited rig related
customization it offers, it is not the end all rig control system - too
much attention has been paid to digital, rotors, DXing, logging, etc.
Not enough time spent on rig control.
Maybe I am the only person in the world solely interested in rig control
software?
All that said, the idea of a full featured tablet-like remote control I
can hold in my lap would just be GREAT!!! I just have to live long
enough to see this happen.
Life is good at my shack - the snow is going away!
