HRD Cat Control

Hi Dave

I did look at the code of WSJTX. and I even talked to the HRD guys.

But there seem to be an inconsistent behaviour with my HRD and asked for their assitance. I included smoking guns in the forms of videos and they simply vanished. not answering me for 2 months now. I was about to release it (already added all the required code on my end) but since I get no support from the HRD folks, I removed the code.

I also sent out a question on both their forum and Group IO community. Still, no reponse.

So despite my honest and extensive effort in making this happen (I was 99% there), their lack of cooperation forced me to do a hard u-turn and abandon this.

I must say that I got great support from any player in the market BUT the HRD folks.

When I integrated QSO loggers to VarAC, I was in touch with all loggers coders which provided some kind of support to make it happen.

If this is Important to you, as a paying customer of HRD, feel free to ask them to engage.

I will be sitting on the fence on this for now. Totally frustrated with their support.

BTW. I am a paying customers of them too. Very disrespectful to act this way to a paying customer.

Hello Irad,

Thanks for your reply. I am no longer a paying Customer of HRD. I ended my support contract with them because they have been ignoring my request to fix a problem with dual receiver mode on my Icom 7610.

I am gonna try using com0com https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/ tp create a virtual ports to my 7610 which could be shared by HRD and VARAC at the same time.

Thanks,

Dave WEIP

Actully what I think I need is hup4com which splits data from one serial port to several virtual serial ports. I hope this works!

I have stared to work with HRD. The have Zero documentation about this. so they have sent me a few things over an email. I started the integration but facing challanges and I get no response from their team in the past 2 weeks. I had an intention to release it i the upcoming version but since I get no response from them I will have to postpone this to an unknown time. I own HRD myself, and followed their instrcustions precisly while sending them evidance of issues but got no reply.

Ok thanks for trying..... Loving Vara AC..!! Excellent mode!

Hi Irad - I am also very interested in an eventual solution that allows VarAC and HRD to play nicely together. If I can be of any assistance to you as an intermediary, I will be happy to try to help. 73 de KG9NI

Same issue, can't get to work VarAC and HRD CAT at the same time, even not via Omnirig 😒

Is this something that could be added in a future release @irad d?

yes. but not anytime soon. more important thing on my plate for upcoming versions. but it still on the rnd queue.
