i guess i have the same feeling about the updates to mixW, just scared to do 
something new as the mixW works well for PSK and CW. i am using a microHam USB 
2 interface with my Kenwood TS2K. Convince me the changeover to HRD word be 
easy! well actually convince me it is possible. i know i will have to learn and 
configure a few things, so i am not looking for a plug-n-play changeover. i 
know there is a HRD Yahoo users group, so i am going to it now to sign up,
thanks for the reply.

That is a difficult choice Pat. I am an old Mixw user too, paid my many to Nick 
many years ago. 

My sense, no facts, is that Mixw is a dying product. It is a good product but I 
just have a hunch that Nick has tired of the project and that it is not likely 
to get the updates frequently enough to compete with DM780, fldigi, pocketdigi, 
or Multipsk.

You can run MixW with FLdigi (other other apps with RS ID) in the background 
and use RSID receive just as a way to keep any eye on what is on the band .

Hi all,

I'm  another  long-time MixW user and prefer it over the other programs. 
But like Andy, K3UK, I'm afraid MixW is becoming another orphaned ham 
program!   How well I remember the old XPWin programs and Gary just threw in 
the towel one day and got out of ham radio.
 I've seen posts before about the future of MixW, some reporting Nick is 
indeed working on an upgrade.  Instead of speculation, I'm sure someone out 
there must know Nick personally who can get the answers from the horses 
mouth, as they say.

It's not the money, either: it's that it has so much potential, but
isn't being kept up to current capabilities.

Andy, 

I asked Nick about adding RSID to Mixw back in May of this year. He said it was 
possible, but the problem was finding the time to get it done. Guess we'll have 
to wait and see.
