All, Simon, HB9DRV, has just released a new beta that enables HRD with the SDR-1000 on hardware serial ports. You can download it at http://www.hb9drv.ch/tmp/old/hamradiodeluxeversion033b847a.exe . I tried the hardware ports on all baud rates through 38400 and found no problems. The HRD defaults are: Parity = none, data = 8, and stop bits = 1.
Simon wants to remind all that the satellite tracking progam in the beta is a work in progress. Bob K5KDN
