ham radio deluxe is a program in which you can use to control your radio 
with your computer. Most people use it for programming frequencies and 
memories in the radio. However me personally, I use it to control my icom 
735 rig and luckily a guy in West Coast Canada made a mod to work with it so 
I can have voice read out for the radio and also lots of memory capability. 
If you don't know, the icom 735 itself only has 12 memories. Most people are 
cool with that, because I guess you can program a memory for each band and 
then you can square off that way. Plus I also have direct frequency entry 
with the keyboard because the radio doesn't have that. You turn the knob and 
use your eyes and eventually get to where you want. You can click the band 
select to go faster but it's still slow.       I've also seen people use 
deluxe for logging. You can set up an excellent electronic log for your 
Q.S.O's. Hopefully my explanation of ham deluxe is adequate enough, if for 
some reason you don't grasp what I'm saying, just let me know on or off list 
I'll try to explain it more elaborately. It's just a program that allows you 
to hook your radios in to your computer so you can control it remotely. The 
disadvantage with running a radio like this is you're restricted to the 
computer. If that's ok with you, it's a great program. If it's not, then I 
wouldn't use it.
