Three Hams Purchase HRD
Suite Source and Rights
Tampa FL, St. Paul MN, Pittsburgh PA -
September 19, 2011 - Mike Carper (WA9PIE), Randy Gawtry (K0CBH) and Rick Ruhl
(W4PC) have acquired the source and rights to the Ham Radio Deluxe suite of
software. The trio plans to continue the improving the best ham radio package
available.
“Simon has done a fantastic job with this software. His vision
for integrating rig control, rotor control, logging, digital modes, and
satellite operations into a single integrated feature-rich software suite has
captivated the ham radio community. We’d like to see this product continue in a
way that respects the hard work put into this package by Simon and others,” said
Mike Carper. “Maintaining that vision, while delivering timely fixes and feature
enhancements in the future, will be the number one priority.”
“After many
years writing the HRD software it’s necessary to take a break and hand the whole
project over to another team,” said Simon Brown (HB9DRV). “The support effort
required has become more than I can realistically manage – with many thousands
of users, new radios and other hardware appearing all the time and unexpected
changes to the infrastructure used by HRD such as QRZ.com I no longer have any
time at all for other projects. As some of you will know I have formed a company
SDR-RADIO.com GmbH and am now working in the Software Defined Radio arena with
RFspace. This is the technology of the future; a future which I want a part of.
In 2012 I plan to return to England and get back on the air, something I haven’t
done much during the last 25 years.”
The trio is in the process of
building a development environment for HRD and plans to begin by addressing some
of the bugs in the existing “To Do List” for an upcoming 5.1 release. The 5.1
release will be made available at no charge to registered users when
completed.
All three principals have more than 25 years of experience
with radio data communications. Rick Ruhl is the president of W4PC Software,
Inc. whose products include the PakRatt, PKTerm and Radio Operations Center
software suites. Randy Gawtry is the president of Timewave Technology Inc. whose
products include the PK and DSP families of data controllers and other
commercial data products. Mike Carper is an experienced Fortune 500 technology
executive, educator, and featured speaker in the areas of wireless technologies
and IT Service Management.
