I've used Ham Radio Deluxe without any trouble for rig control, though it's logging capability is rather primitive.

For logging and casual rig control, I use DXBase 2007. Not cheap, but excellent and very flexible. I *highly* recommend DXBase if you do any awards chasing. It plays well with LotW.

For non-CW digital modes, I use HamScope and MixW. HamScope is free, uses MMTTY for the RTTY engine, and plays nice with DXBase. MixW doesn't seem to play well with DXBase, but I haven't worked a lot with it..

I'm running all this (and more) on a mildly overclocked PIII that makes it to 1 GHz easily, running XP, with a 500 GB NetCell RAID (NetCell is kaput, but their RAID 3 adapter works very well), and 1 GB of RAM. It's an old machine, but does everything I need.

Hey TenTec owners, what are you using for software?

I have tried ACLog and it's ok, but could be better.  Pretty time
consuming compared to a paper log book.
Using HamScope for psk and it works ok.

What else do you use and why do you like it?

Thanks for sharing,
