Believe me, the community appreciates all your great efforts. Being a programmer myself, it can be a tremendous task to try and pacify most people. You won't be able to do all of the people, and the price "is" right, hi!. Again, keep up the good work. Regards, Reid, W4UPD Simon (HB9DRV)

Across the top of the screen - just above the map display - you'll see a button with a satellite icon that says "New." Clicking on it gives you the ability to select another satellites, and the program opens a new window. In this regard, it works like Firefox or later versions of IE in that it "

Gotcha! You are correct. maybe the independences that were discussed with 5.x will take care of that problem. It would be nice to bring up just the satellite portion only. I have been so use to using WISP32 since my SATGATE days that I use it most of the time except on my newer radios. HRD inde

Hey Reid, Thanks for your note. Using the same package here - V 4.1, Build 1985. And yes, you can access Satellite Tracker without connecting radios to it - but you can't connect radios to it without ALSO connecting them to HRD. Therein could lie the problem. DM780 is useable without connect

Which beta version of 4.1 are you using? I found that I had the same problem until 4.1 build 1985. Satellite stuff can be accessed without a rig hooked up. I did find that resources can really get eaten up by HRD when doing satellite stuff. If the description of HRD V5.0 is correct, it may ease

Simon and all, I have been using V 4.1 Beta for a few months, and my sense is that all of the multitasking HRD requires is taxing the processor on my Acer Aspire One netbook beyond its capacity. I may be wrong about that, but I suspect that's what's going on. Simon, please correct me if this i

Thanks Simon. I guess it just stalls under the load. The windows title bar says "not responding" trying to close the program gives the familiar "program not responding" dialog box. Leave the computer for a bit and it eventually resumes tracking until any key is pressed then stalls again. I reali
