Pressing the Big Red Button ---> DAX Was Easy!

I purchased and am using the latest version of DM780, 6.1.4.1.189 that came as part of the HRD package with the same version number. The purchased version is well worth the money. The small cost for this excellent software should be no issue at all; after all the radio costs about 75 times the $100 cost of the HRD software. By the way I just checked the HRD site and found the 6.2 version went live for preview two days ago, 6 February. When I'm using HRD/DM780 in my most minimal computer setup ($300 Lenovo Q150 TV computer) with HRD running it works amazingly well. With such a small computer I find it helpful to play a bit with the priority settings for the various processes, especially DM780 that I run at high priority.This latest version of the HRD suite has selections for both PowerSDR and SmartSDR. Selecting SmartSDR, of course, for my 6700 sets it all up. It took a little working with the serial port allocation settings, but that was maybe 15 minutes. I'm new to all the computerized logging etc., but I'm learning very fast, and the 6700 makes it an exciting experience. I decided to spring for this most advanced radio in the world after finding myself totally enamored of my Flex 1500 QRP rig. While I've enjoyed working with my Collins and other classic radios, the FlexRadios, especially the 6700, propelled me into the future. I'm glad I made the leap of faith (Kierkegaard would do the same.).
