One interesting issue I found with MixW (albeit for a narrow spectrum of users)
is it will lock up your XP machine when used with the ICOM PCR-2500 software or
with TrunkPCR. I actually like MixW, but can't use it with that unit.
My favorites so far are MultiPSK (sooo many modes, and they work!) and the
slick HRD app, DM 780.

Hello Buddy,

PSE, say that you don't like the interface and ignore this program. No need
to be excessive.

My 2 cents worth:
I have tried them all and still prefer MixW. It is a simple program yet
does everything I want it to. It is neat and orderly in layout and
appearance. It will use my RAC CD, a lot of logging programs won't. I
just click on a callsign and the logging info fills right in.
I've tried MultiPSK, and to be honest, it does a lot, but gawd, that is
one
UGLY looking program. I don't even like to look at it. HRD is nice, but
I
don't need all those moving screens and options.. again, it is just too
busy for me. I don't need a computer program to change frequency for
me,
I can turn the knob myself. I don't need a program that is packed with a
bunch of strange modes that are rarely, if ever, used. Fldigi won't run
on
my computer, but I notice a few things that would keep it from being my
main
digital/logging program.
We all have our likes and dislikes, none of us are right or wrong, just
different in what we like to use. Since MixW is not free, that alone will
drive some guys to HRD, etc.MixW's attraction for me is it's simple,
and
does it all.
If the authors of MixW decide to abandon it, I'd keep using it unless
another progarm came up with something really great that would entice me
to
change.

What is the attraction of MixW now that we have so many other

digital programs that are freely available with one program even open
