Look up name, QTH, and other important information about your contacts using a variety of online and offline sources. Keep track of all important contact information with the click of a mouse. Packed with features, Logbook is the ideal shack accessory for everyone from the novice rag-chewer to the most accomplished paper-hanger. Beginning with a robust database engine, Ham Radio Deluxe Logbook screams operating convenience. I lose the panafall colors but Grid Tracker does a better job at alerting me to any wanted calls.Logbook is a complete DX operations center. But in that case, I just turn off the HRD 'spot source' in Slice Master. It's most annoying if I try to log an SSB or CW QSO in HRD Logbook's ALE window while also monitoring FT8 on multiple bands.

Generally, I find these performance issues tolerable only because I dont usually interact directly with HRD Logbook. It's these last two options that are prone to trigger performance issues on the HRD Logbook side. This results in pretty colors on your panafall spots. And finally, Slice Master can query HRD Logbook for the worked status of all spots it collects. Further, HRD Logbook can be configured to connect to Slice Master's cluster aggregation server to see all of the spots that Slice Masters collects from the programs it launches. You'll also find that Slice Master's rig control implementation covers many more features of the radio.

HRD Logbook, for example will follow you to any slice you have selected for TX. One nice feature here is that when using Slice Master to control the Flex you are not stuck with a single slice. Next, Slice Master makes a great replacement for HRD Rig Control when using bits of HRD other than DM780. The most obvious is the automatic configuration and launch of DM780 on multiple slices. There are a few different ways that Slice Master works with HRD.

HRD will certainty work without SliceMaster.
