[Elecraft] Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Oops.. I just thought it was dead because all of the videos are dead links
and the youtube channel appears to have been deleted.


I currently own the Ham Radio Deluxe suite. I was looking at using the
Win4k3 to replace the radio control part and use the rest of HRD. I'm
wondering if it would be best to customize HRD or go with Win4k3? I'm still
researching things. At this point I'm looking to modify the HRD radio
control interface (it's highly modifiable) but it's really a daunting task.
The interface  is ok but too busy. I was hoping to hear from other hams how
they use/modify HRD..etc.. 

I don't want to get buried too far in projects that keep me off the air but
don't mind the occasional distraction.

At the end of it all I may end up using Win4k3 if I am not able to get HRD
to do what I want. I'm not sure how to properly leverage HRD as I seem to
operate primarily in the logging software which includes the DX cluster. I
see the Radio control screen as mainly a place to setup and store
configurations per band/mode/situation(DX/contest..etc) than something to
run full time. Maybe I'm missing something ?

One thing I'm considering is to remote my rig to my shop. Then I could have
a tower in the back yard without long feedlines (that contribute to signal
loss). Slowly looking at that. The Raspberry Pi hardware looks perfect as
the bridge platform.

Jer,

Win4K3suite is alive and well, and unless something has happened in the last
few days, Tom va2fsq is actively supporting it.
In fact, that is the same Tom who answered about using comOcom earlier this
morning.
