Reset to Defaults - If you really make a mess of changing and setting up things and wish you could start from scratch, hold the Shift key down while you start the program. All settings will then be returned to what Simon wants.

Audio - An easy way of ensuring that you have audio properly enabled for alarms, etc., is to open the Ham Radio Deluxe program and then your sound card controls, make a selection and then click on the HRD Voice menu and select one of the immediate voice announcements such as Frequency.

Noise - If you are experiencing radio noise created by the computer, here is a tip from the forum pages. Just wind the control cable through a FERRITE ring several times. Do NOT use a powdered iron core.
