Hi Gary.

It depends upon what you call "better."  Generally, the software that is 
written for a specific radio works more tightly with that radio.  By that I 
mean that the software will control more aspects of the radio's 
functionality than a one size fits all package that will control the 
aspects of the radio that are common to most radios.

Besides that, my experience with other Kenwood software suggests that it is 
probably easier to use with a screen reader than Ham Radio Deluxe is.  You 
can use HRD if you are comfortable with working with the JAWS cursor or the 
Window-Eyes Mouse Cursor, but I like it easy.  I will generally take the 
path of least resistance.  I'd like to spend my time making QSOs, not 
fiddling with software.
