Everywhere I see Ham Radio Deluxe being metioned-in email posts, in QST
articles, on eham.net, and I have to wonder what is the attraction of it?  I
tried computer control a couple of years ago with a Kenwood TS-B2000 and
soon grew to hate it.  Tuning around with a mouse was awkward at best.  I
like a tuning knob to turn, and other buttons to turn and push. SO what am I
missing?  What makes computer control so much better than physical control?
>From the attention paid to HRD, it seems that I am the only one who feels
this way.
