Digipan is my favorite -- because it can decode so many signals at once -- which is very useful. The logging portion of it needs some work before it would be useful in a contest (like dupe-checking), but if the authors put some more work into it, it could go from very good to superb!

I like using W1SQLPSK software. Since I like to go to KP4land from time to time...I like seeing all the streams and see and have a an idea what is out there on PSK. Up to 20 streams to choose. Would like to see some of the commercial login software people integrate W1SQLPSK software into their system.

It seems like a common trend is to be able to decode multiple signals at once! I use DM780 and have really liked it. It, too, has the ability to decode multiple signals at once. It also interfaces with Ham Radio Deluxe which I use as my logger. It also can use QRZ.com for callsign info.

I took a look at the W1SQLPSK website and the screenshot at that site and it looks like a nice program. It looks like it displays the PSK signals similar to the way DM780 does. I really like DM780; it also interfaces with Ham Radio Deluxe which I use for rig control as well as logging. Have you ever tried using DM780?

DM780 here. I like the simultaneus stream decode as well. Integration w/HRD is great as well.

I absolutely LOVE HRD!! In my opinion, it is a wonderful piece of software, very feature-filled. I also like the way all of Simon's software interfaces with itself, HRD with DM780 or PSK31 Deluxe or Mapper, etc. I'm glad that HRD is starting to support contests, as that is the only reason why I have used another logger (N1MM Logger) for contests.

Being somewhat new to PSK I had to trust all the posts I read and follow the suggestions posted in several forums.
I settled with HRD and DM780 and also use PSK31 Deluxe. It took a few days to understand the software and set up, but it was worth it. The integration with rig control, RTTY and PSK is certainly easy to use.
So many features and operator settings everything is covered with both DM780 Deluxe and PSK31 Deluxe.

I suppose if I were to select my favorite, it would be DM780 only because I use it more although I like the "toggle" up to 4 different frequencies with PSK31.
Both DM780 and PSK31 work seamlessly with HRD and its CAT it's hard to select one over the other in PSK software as both work so well.

I prefer MixW, specially for contesting activity. For casual operation Logger32 MMVari engine is my choice.

DM780 for shore!, on older hardware Digipan 2.0

I love Airlink Express from KR1ST, it uses the mmvari engine, VERY Slick ]http://www.airlinkexpress.org/

DM370 integrated well with HRD

Digipan is the best for me. I have used it for about 6 years. I also have MixW,and have tried several other brands of PSK software, but keep coming back to Digipan. It is super simple to learn and easy to program the Macros. It decodes multiple signals which I think is really needed to see where the propagation is coming from at any given moment. The only thing I would say negative about any digital software is to you guys who are macro-maniacs. Give me a break. I don't care what processor your computer uses. I do care about who you really are and what you really like and dislike. You know, real stuff that can only be keyed in real time. Tell me about where you live. Tell me about your job. Tell me something, but don't give me 10 macros and and a 73. Well I feel better to get that off of my chest HI HI. 73 Bruce/NU0R

Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) the new beta 5.0 version. It does take a little time to learn, but I like the program as it does control my radio through an interface. I have used the HRD software for 2 years.

Digipan is my favorite.

Digipan (www.digipan.net) -- because it can decode so many signals at once, not just 2 at a time.

I use HRD + DM780 5.0 beta and like the program very much. I like the idea of being able to intregrate your log ( and it doesn't have to be HRD) into the DM780 and it searches by callsign and tells you if you worked the station before.
I also has a stand alone rotor program which I use quite a lot. Just click on the Location direction and it changes my direction.
It also has all the digital modes build into the program and interegates the waterfall and tells you what mode is being transmitted.
As you can see I favor HRD v5.0
