Satscape For Mac
Sure, although I'm running HRD on my Mac right now in a VMWare virtual machine and it's just fine. I would be interested in a Linux/Ubuntu version. I like to think I would pay for it, but most of us Linux users are pretty tight about paying for software. I think it is a bit more than just being tight about paying for software. The combined 'do everything' program goes against the grain of 'do one thing, but it well' user philosophy of most Unix & Unix-like systems. What might work for Mac & Linux users is a set of individual programs with a common communications protocol between them. Think about what HRD really provides and break it down to what you really get from it: 1) Logbook 2) DM780 psk/digital modes app 3) Rig Control Program 4) Satellite Tracker 5) Some smaller stuff like DX Cluster Monitoring, etc.
You can put together a station just as easily with other stuff on Linux or Mac. 1) There is a great open source logbook program called CQRlog, that I actually like better than HRD Logbook. I like that it even has built-in support for LOTW to automatically upload/download QSL's unlike HRD Logbook that does not support LOTW. It provides some basic rig control functionality but its not much more than tracking of frequency mode making log entries faster.
2) There is an EXCELLENT digital mode program for Linux/Mac that is open source. Called FLDigi. In fact that is what your running in HRD as DM780 with a windows gui around it, but FLDigi is the code underneath doing the digital decoding. It can talk to CQRlog and automatically enter log entries from your digital modes windows.
3) THIS HERE is where the options are limited right now on Linux I think. There is no program that provides the nice sort of rig control interface that HRD provides with its nice big full screen rig control screen. But honestly I noticed I didn't use that screen all that much so I don't really miss it. And there is a rig control new program in beta from the author of FLDigi, called FLRig. It looks like it does what I want in a rig control program with some sliders for controlling filters, power, etc.

And displaying the current frequency and a way to store and recall a number of present frequencies. 4) There are several good satellite trackers for Linux. GPredict: is probably one of the most popular.
But I use a java program called SatScape that I like better. 5) For DX Cluster watching I like XDX. But there are several others to choose from. See it in action: Pretty much no matter what you want 'to do' there is a good substitute for the functionality in HRD. And the price is right.free with no cost to upgrade ever again. /this message posted from Linux « Last Edit: March 10, 2011, 10:52:50 AM by WS4E » Logged.
Sadly, the owners of HRD have said at this time there is no native version of HRD on the horizon for the MAC operating system. That said, it does work just fine in a VMWare Virtual machine on the MAC. HRD has supported LoTW upload and download as well as eQSL since version 5.2. In version 6 they added Clublog. You can pay only $99.95 for HRD in a VMWare environment with 1 year support. You do not need to renew support unless you wish to continue to receive Upgrades (patches and bug fixes applicable to your version remain free for life). Yes, I am a representative of HRD.
Jim - KB1NXE Logged. I use Xubuntu on my shack PC. If HRD was ported to Linux, I might pay, yes.
(But I haven't looked at HRD in so long I forget what all it is good for.) I use CQRlog for casual logging, and TLF for contesting which has excellent rig control (so I hear, which even includes advanced networking for mult-multis) built in. Also FLdigi and Jim Reisert's weak-signal digi stuff. I also use DX Atlas and a few others I can't think of right now. The only thing that would make me give up TLF is a contest logger that is every bit as reliable. It's never crashed.
And the way I use TLF (with a simultaneous running backup in a terminal window using tail -f), it would almost take an instantaneous catastrophic hard drive failure -or a direct hit by a bolt of lightning- to lose the log data. There's something about CQRlog that could be improved, but I can't put my finger on exactly what it is. Maybe I wouldn't feel that way if I started using the keyboard shortcuts, or tried other logging software.
