Ditto here.  The TX radio does not seem to be interfacing in a timely
fashion with HRD, which updates the TX radio when it finally does sense that
transmitting is occurring.

Also have negative experience with Vista and HRD satellite, but not the
luxury of going back to XP. In my case it works, but if I try and control
two radios (as it does easily on XP), one updates frequencies for doppler
nicely, and the other either not at all, or only once a minute or so.  All I
have to do to catch things up is uncheck one or the other radio. 

Not a programmer but perhaps some overhead in controlling the ports? I have
serial ports as well as USB converters. Doesnt seem to matter which I use.

SATPC32, by comparison, seems to work fine, but I really like some of the
Sat features of HRD and am sad I cant use them anymore.
