The combination that I use is not an integrated suite in the way that HRD is, so it is quite a lot more effort to get it all configured so that all the components work together. Win4ICOM is able to bind all of these together simultaneously. I also run SwissLog for logging, Bandmaster for a DX Cluster client, FLDigi for the older digi-modes, and WSJT-X for the newer modes. The synchronization can be turned off in which case I get the two receivers that I was used to in my previous radio but are not present in the IC-7300. This links to Win4ICOM so that tuning and mode selection is synchronised. I've added an SDRPlay RSP1a SDR receiver with the SDRUno software, connected to a RadioAnalog PTRX-7300 in the radio. The panadaptor of the 7300 is good for the price, but it is a small screen and can only display the band that the radio is currently tuned to. Where Win4ICOM really wins is in its ability to integrate a large number of other applications in order to arrive at a serious computerized shack solution. This requires a lot of screen real estate and the current Win4ICOM screen takes up a lot of space.

The attraction of a computerized shack is the ability to combine a lot of functionality at the same time - log book, DX Cluster, rig control, panadaptor and decoders for various digital modes.
N1MM LOGGER PLUS SPECTRUM DISPLAY SETUP FOR IC7610 FULL
Having built quite a few Windows applications myself, I can understand why Tom has gone down this path, but I do hope that he will offer a "compact" layout in addition to the current full layout in a future release. My only criticism of the application is that the screen is not resizeable. It loaded and configured easily and I was controlling the rig within minutes. This is a very competently designed and built application which delivers all the functionality of my 7300 through an attractive and, generally, ergonomic screen interface. I mentioned them in the Groups.IO support group and the author, Tom, came back quickly with some advice that got it working for me, so I bought a licence. I tried Win4ICOM on the 30 day eval and liked it, but I had some hardware problems that stopped me using it. They all work reasonably well, but they are all showing their age these days.

I've used several of the leading CAT programs over the years including HRD and DXLabs. I reported this to Tom by email through his support channel, he responded with a few questions which I replied to promptly and he released a new version of Win4ICOM just over a week after my initial report - fixing the problem completely. It worked very well with Win4Yaesu controlling my FT-991A, but was sluggish and "gritty" with the IC-7300 through Win4ICOM.

I recently purchased a ShuttleXpress tuning control to add to my shack PC. Update: Tom gives an excellent level of support for his products.
