Robin, A quick question... If for instance, the ARRL were to change input format for LoTW in such a way as to break HRD, and after a year of ownership, would the corrective update be free, or would the HRD user have to pay for an update to get the correction? -- Thanks and 73's, For

I doubt that *any* software company will guarantee free support for changes by third party companies/organizations (particularly since some companies like QRZ.com seem to make changes just to break third party software on a regular basis). In a fee for support model like HRD, LLC., free updates

Well, I'm not a Lawyer, but I did sleep at a Comfort Inn once If something happens to break HRD, which is/was out of HRD's control, then I expect you would pay for the fix. They can't be held responsible for the actions of others. 73, Dick, W1KSZ On 6/13/2015 6:13 AM, David Cole wrote:

Hi Dick, Just checking to see if the HRD software package can be rendered broken by outside parties without a free update, after a year of ownership has passed. HRD itself is free to update, or not update, as they see fit, I understand that. I am not suggesting that they must update, but

If you didn't want to renew your subscription, you could manually upload to LoTW by exporting the contacts in ADIF format, running TQSL, and uploading directly to LoTW. It's no where as convenient, but it is doable until such time as you want to jump back in. 73, Barry K3NDM On 6/13/2015

In cases like this, fixes are free for the current version. New features are what are going to be charged. Bug fixes are free for the lifetime of the product. On Jun 13, 2015, at 09:38, Richard Solomon w1...@earthlink.net wrote: Well, I'm not a Lawyer, but I did sleep at a Comfort Inn

Yes. The HRD team worked diligently when they released version 6.x and corrected the flaws in the rig control portion of the software that affected the K3. Users can now control nearly any function of the K3 from HRD. I've used the entire HRD suite for many years and have been very happy with it.

If you are only interested rig control, Win4K3 will do the job very well. I use HRD for logging only and Win4K3 for rig control works FB. I may try a free logging program and drop HRD as I feel they will be charging for upgrades regularly. Tex ka5y -- View this message in context:
