Station Master Deluxe can be used in a with variety of configurations. Your ability to use the advanced features
of Station Master Deluxe will be determined entirely by the capability of your station hardware. microHAM have
attempted to implement these features in a way that they can be used in most installations. However, some
transceivers lack the capacity (e.g., an inhibit input or "early" PTT) to safely use some of the more advanced
capabilities.
The application software used with Station Master Deluxe will be the primary factor in determining the minimum
computer configuration needed with Station Master Deluxe. When used with Windows based contest software
like CTWin, N1MM Logger, Win-Test, and WriteLog or Windows based general purpose loggers like DXBase
2007, DXLab Suite, DX4WIN, Logger 32 and others, the microHAM control and interface application "microHAM
Router" must run at the same time as the application program. Since both the logging programs and microHAM
Router are real-time applications, system performance will be dependent on CPU speed, the amount of available
RAM, and any other programs running at the same time.
Although microHAM Router will run on slower computers, the minimum tested system is a 1.5 GHz processor
with Windows Vista, 1GB RAM, CD-ROM, and USB 1.1 port. Whether Router can run as designed on slower
machines or those with less memory and leave enough resources for application programs has not been
determined. It has not been, and won't be a priority, to make it run on clunkers or discontinued operating
systems.
The recommended system is at least a 2 GHz dual core processor, 2 GB of RAM, USB 2.0 port located on the
motherboard, transceiver with supported control protocol and logging and/or control program.
Station Master Deluxe can be used in stand-alone mode (without a connected computer or logging software)
but a computer running microHAM Router will be required to configure Station Master Deluxe for proper
operation.
