Ham Radio Deluxe
We recently tested this fascinating program with the new RIGtalk USB Rig Control Interface.
During the test we used an Icom IC-756PRO and an Icom IC-820H connected in parallel to the RIGtalk.

Ham Radio Deluxe allowed us to create a profile for each of these radios which made changing from one to the other as simple as disconnecting from one and connecting to the other.

Some of the features we especially like about HRD:

If you are interested in trying a great Rig Control program, we urge you to download and try Ham Radio Deluxe. The best part is...IT'S FREE.
Hats off to Simon Brown, HB9DRV and the entire HRD Development team.

Power for your Ham Station in an Emergency
2005 proved the importance of Amateur Radio emergency preparedness. West Mountain Radio has products that can prepare your ham station for any emergency and the power outages they may bring. A PG40 or PG40S will, without interruption, safely power your station from either a Power Supply or a Battery and they also have a built in charging circuits. Either the PWRgate PG40 or the Super PWRgate PG40S Backup Power Systems, when used in conjunction with a RIGrunner, will provide uninterrupted power to all your 12VDC Ham Station Equipment. The PG40S has a modern State-of-the-Art multi stage charging circuit that will intelligently charge and maintain a battery. The PG40 has a simple float charger which will maintain a charged battery. We also carry quality sealed AGM and Gelled Batteries suitable for indoor use. Both are Group 24 size and are rated at about 75 AHr which will provide many hours of emergency operation. So that you will know the status of your batteries at all times, we have the WhattMeter which will simultaneously read out Volts, Amps, AmpHours, Watts and WhattHours. All of these products have Anderson Powerpole® connecters, especially convenient for all your 12VDC equipment. For installing Powerpole® connectors, we recommend our PWRcrimp Crimp Tool, a quality crimping tool designed specially for 15, 30 and 45A Powerpole® connectors. We also carry pre-packaged Powerpole® Connectors in 15, 30 and 45A sizes.

ATTENTION Kenwood TS-480SAT & TS-480HX OWNERS

We recently learned Kenwood has reversed two of the pins on the microphone connector of their TS-480SAT and TS-480HX which makes the Kenwood RJ45 Jumpering Diagrams in our RIGblaster Owners Manuals incorrect for these radios. Correct Jumpering Diagrams are here: RIGblaster pro    RIGblaster M8 & Plus    RIGblaster nomic
