We originally began hosting Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) because we were huge fans of the program, and we noticed that it was only being hosted on a few other sites and we were concerned that those sites might go offline, effectively eliminating access to the program. We've been hosting HRD for a little over a year and a half as of this writing, and it's been a fantastic experience being able to assist the Amateur Radio community in obtaining excellent software.

We've recently been made aware of a number of things, and we'd like to give you a clear overview of the current situation surrounding Ham Radio Deluxe in general.

When we began hosting HRD, the site we originally obtained our copy of the software from had a notice that the software was authorized for free distribution by its original author (Simon Brown, HB9DRV).Īs it turns out, that notice was inaccurate. #Ham radio deluxe 5.24.38 icom 7200 for free While that was true at one time, the terms the program was licensed under did not grant a permanent license to freely distribute the program forever. #Ham radio deluxe 5.24.38 icom 7200 for free.
