- Relax ADIF log file parsing to allow garbage between records and
records with no DX callsign
- Fix bug that prevented retention of power and comments in
Log QSO window
- Updates to User Guide

- Remove hexadecimal RGB values from color-configuration panel
- Fix a bounds error by not executing Fox-related code when not

- Allow the logQSO dialog to modify "Exch Sent" or "Rcvd" when
operating in RTTY or NA VHF Contest mode, and to have any
changes flow through to N1MM Logger.
- Fix several problems in handling hashed callsigns
- More rigorous quality checking of WSPR decodes from the OSD algorithm
- Fix bug that prevented recevied signal reports from
compound callsigns to be logged
- Improved recognition of callsigns with /P or /R suffixes
- Do not waste time trying AP decoding of nonstandard callsigns
- Make OSD decoding work with WSPR "type 2" messages
- Retain in Tx6 message field any CQ messages like
"CQ xxxx K1ABC FN42", where xxxx is 1-4 letters or 1-3 digits
- Optional key bindings for F1 through F5, especially for contest use
- Include grid in Tx1 messages with hashed callsign, for example
"<DF2018ARDF> K1ABC FN42"
- Better formatting for the files ALL.TXT and ALL_WSPR.TXT
- Correct a flaw in validating contest exchange data when logging
- Option to always start new decode periods at top of Band
Activity window
- New command "Erase WSPR hashtable" on the File menu

- New utility program rigctlcom-wsjtx (from Hamlib)
- Remove temporary FT8 working frequencies from default frequency list
- UDP protocol's Clear (3) message is made two-way, for better
communication with DX Lab Suite applications
- Reset QSO start time when aborting a QSO or clearing messages by ESC
or F4
- Correct a logging issue in Fox's ADIF log when Fox sends RR73 to more
than one Hound in the same Tx sequence.

In this release of Ham Radio Deluxe, there are 97 individual updates to the software (plus 4 duplicates). By application, there are 26 in Logbook, 33 in Rig Control, 23 in Rotator, 13 in Satellite Tracking, and 7 in other areas (DM-780, setup, etc).
We resolved the three issues that were reported with the 6.5.0.183 release – SAMCD error, installer doesn’t complete and left HRD partially installed, and we restored the 3rd party serial port capability.
In Rig Control, there are updates for the Yaesu FT-875D, FT-891, FT-897, FT-920, FT-1000MP, FTDX-1200, and FTDX-3000; updates for the ICOM IC-7300, IC-7610, and IC-7700; and for the Kenwood TS-990.
In the Rotator application, we have validated changes for the Portable Rotation rotors (thanks, Will), Yaesu GS-232A/B, and HyGain DCU. We have unvalidated changes for the M2 rotor family (feedback from M2 users welcome).
In the Satellite Tracking, we’ve fixed about half the things in the bug list for this application. I’m excited to begin trying it out with life satellite QSOs.
In Logbook, we resolved a number of rig control issues where mode was not tracked when clicking on spots. You can now save column widths in the DX Cluster. More performance enhancements were completed.
We made a number of changes to enhance the security of Ham Radio Deluxe. We now conform to the direct connection specifications for QRZ XML lookups.
