To download the installation software for the latest free version of Ham Radio Deluxe 5.24.38, just click HRD FREE.
At least not at this site – your mileage may vary at other sites. It is no longer on my site due to Ham Radio Deluxe LLC requiring me to stop providing this free version to the ham community. Flame On Got the below demand letter from HRD LLC via email this afternoon – wanting me to take down the latest free version that I am sharing on my site. (Note that I have never offered for download any prior or current versions of the paid software developed by HRD LLC, etc.) A couple of side notes: Even though I have unfixed support tickets submitted to HRD LLC from a couple of YEARS ago that it seems may NEVER get fixed, the new versions of HRD are significantly better than the free version and IMHO definitely worth the price to buy and keep buying each year. Secondly, a LOT of hams can’t afford to currently buy the software.
BUT if they get to use the free one and see how great that version is, X number of them might, just maybe, see the benefits of buying the latest version because they liked the free one so much but want the latest features and benefits. Lastly, there might be a certain number of Y users of the free one who could afford the paid version but are happy to limp by with the free one instead of buying the paid one – thinking that they are winning by doing so. My guess is that X is much bigger than Y. Which means it might, just maybe, be incredibly foolish to do anything to shut down dissemination of the free version of the software since you are probably making more net sales – not losing net sales – because the free version is out there.
