Configuration of Ham Radio Deluxe Logbook

Win4K4Suite has a Ham Radio Deluxe compatible TCP server that can connect with the log book and DM780.  In order to use this and track the radio modes you must first connect the HRD radio control program to your radio and run the HRD logbook.  You must do this for the K3 or KX3 or if you have both radios you must do it for both.  Until all software supports the K4, you may use the K3 as a rig.

Once you are connected open the radio pane in HRD Logbook (View Radio Pane).  You will see something like this:

There may be other buttons displayed but Win4K3Suite only supports the default drop downs at this time.  For the K3, these are Mode A, Mode B, and Message.  For the KX3, they are Mode A and Mode B.  If you have other drop downs defined you will need to remove them from the radio pane.

To change the drop downs, click on the Options Tab in the Radio Pane.  At that point you will see the following.

Click OK and if all is well you will see Mode A and B showing the mode of the radio.  You may now close HRD.

When you want to use Win4K3Suite with HRDlogbook, create a shortcut on your desktop from the executable in the HRD folder or make an entry in Settings, Third Party HW/SW Autolaunch.  This way the logbook will start immediately when you start Win4K3Suite.
