But not 5.24.0.35. Maybe I just missed it. However, if you need any of them, let me know and I will put them on a server. All of the newer versions, 5.22.02 and up, are between 90 and 100 MB. I have version 5.24.36 running on an old XP machine (to old for W10) and on a Windows 10 laptop. But I faintly remember that version 5.24.38 was problematic.
Why downloading the latest free version of Ham Radio Deluxe is now so difficult, but not impossible.

The ugly story with the latest freeware versions of Ham Radio Deluxe
Ham Radio Deluxe was a popular free to use and distribute amateur radio program suite that allowed remote control of most popular transceivers using CAT interface.
Along to a logging program, Ham Radio Deluxe 5 offered DM780 a multimode decoding encoding software that allowed CW RTTY PSK and more operating modes.
Many other features were offered by this amazing ham radio program, developed by Simon Brown GK4ELI (HB9DRV) and Peter PH1PH (sk) under the freeware licence.
In 2011 Simon released the very last free version of ham radio deluxe, the version 5.0 Build 2893. Only this version can be considered the last free build completely compiled and distributed from Simon Brown HB9DRV.
At the end of 2011, Simon sold to the code to a private owned company that continued for some months developing new versions releasing builds from version 5.11 to 5.24.38 and kindly made available free from their web site.
After some years, this private company discontinued supporting and distributing older versions and released a new commercial version 6.
Now this company is asking everyone that is sharing the old binaries from their site, to remove every copy of it.
I used to share those files from this page but, two years ago I had to remove them from my hosting space, after being “kindly asked” from W4PC. I’ve learned that this happened to several other hams wanting to share the freeware version, and probably with the same, non courteous approach used with me.
Well, after having even kept in contact with Simon GK4ELI, and with other hams, I’ve recently decided to unlink the binaries from my web site. As far as I known, they are working hard contacting all other hams and asking to remove old Freeware files from their web sites, declaring to be “the sole owners of every single version of Ham Radio Deluxe ever created”, practically changing the History.
I don’t know if this is legally correct or not, I’m not a lawyer, but certainly I don’t want troubles. This is just a hobby for me, and my goal is just to help other hams, in pure ham-spirit.

Can you spot the article where it says that the terms can be changed? Article 3 refers to failure to comply with any term or condition… that’s all what we can read. However, this is just legalese lingo… subject I do not really master, but some doubts I have are certainly legitimate.
I feel now in right to distribute this version, but I’m feeling embarrassed and I’ve decided to refrain from distributing more.
Please note: versions higher than 5.0, have a different license agreement, and different owners, and as stated before, can’t be distributed anymore.
Is it still possible to download it ?
The answer is, yes it is…
As per August 2018, on the web, and not only on google, but also on P2P file sharing systems, I’ve recently found lot’s of working copies of the setup binary files. But sorry I will not directly post links here 😉 not anymore.
As suggestion I can tell you to not waste time looking for Ham Radio Deluxe Free version on google, you will end up with a lot of broken or removed links, search instead for the HRD_5.0.2893.zip file name, this will sharpen your search results.
Hrd Version 5.24.38 Download 64-bit
I still have installed on some PC the old freeware version, and probably many other hams, like me, still have the setup files. So, ask your friends.
Alternatives to HRD ?
Well, unfortunately there is not yet a free all-in-one product like HRD, but you can always look for other Ham Radio Software

At the end…
My intention was just to help other hams, running old PC, to continue to take advantage of the great work Simon did, for our community, in the pure and genuine ham spirit, and not to create any damage or issue to anyone.
I’m sorry, if this sad story will put in bad light someone, but this is exactly what happened (at least, in my opinion).
Take your own conclusions, and remember.. ask your Ham Friends, this will solve.
A big thanks to Simone Mannini IW5EDI
