You will find more info about this software on Simon's site

The Ham Radio Deluxe suite of programs contains the following
components:

Ham Radio Deluxe - a CAT control program for your radio
PSK31 Deluxe - a sophisticated PSK31 program which includes
SuperBrowser.
SuperBrowser allows you to monitor up to 40 (!) QSOs at a time - the
main
restriction being the available processor's speed.
Mapper - an amateur radio mapping program which can not only be used
for
making your own maps, but which can capture and display Maidenhead
Locator
info from the PSK31 Deluxe screen.

Ham Radio Deluxe also supports speech announcements and alarms, but
you will
have to have Microsoft's TTS files installed on your computer. You
will need
to visit the Microsoft website to download and install a total of
about 8MB
(in two files) for this option if the files are not already installed.
The
URLs a

http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.asp for the Microsoft
Reader

and

http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/tts.asp for the
Text-to-speech
module

We advise the use of WinXP or Win2000, but many of our beta-testers
are
using Win98 or Win98se, and there's one poor benighted soul using
Win95 (NOT
recommended!)

Anyone wanting to use this software is invited to join the Ham Radio
Deluxe
discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham-radio-deluxe/
where
you will find a friendly and helpful bunch of people to help you with
any
problems. The group is moderated, and querulants and other sad
individuals
are kept in check - only happy smiling faces are permitted here,
y'know ;-)
