Just a quick comment from the author of this video. First off I'm happy that this video has helped out so many of you over the years. I'm truly humbled. Beside all of the programming feature Rt systems offers I want to share another possible side benefit. Recently I acquired a used Alinco DR-435. When I received it appeared to be broke with me being unable to change the radio out of the channel mode into the VFO mode. Furthermore it didn't respond to their factory reset by holding down the F key and then turning on the radio. I was almost ready to throw this radio away because it wasn't responding. Then I thought I'd try RT Systems to see if I could get into the radio that way to make it respond normally. It worked!!! If you have a radio that isn't acting normal and not responding to a factory reset, try RT Systems. I can't guarantee that it will work for you but it fixed my Alinco.

I am new and don’t have my callsign yet I’ll be testing this week. A friend told me about RT systems and this video is excellent and I did have to call Tech Support today and it was so nice to have a real person answer and gave me my answers immediately no hassles. God bless you all

New to radio, this was very helpful. Thank you.

Great video I to have been using them for many years. You can’t go wrong with them

Wow what a great video! Thank you so much for providing the insight I needed to realize what I needed. I have been attempting to do it manually with some frustration. Highly recommend this video!!

Very helpful David! Thanks for supporting help from the United States. That really means a lot, too!

When you showed External Data, you made my day. Many thanks and 73 de VE6OA.

This was the Best Video I have seen to Jump Start me. Thank you So So Much! Finally gaining some momentum !!

Great video I have RT it saves me so much time.

I'm new to amateur radio, having just earning my Tech license in June. After going nuts try to program my radios, I discovered RT system for my Icomn2730. I ike it so well I was able to customize programs for our travels to Northern, NY, Easter PA, all the way down to Richmond, etc. I just plug the cord into the computer, and the radio, hit the "Send Data to Radio", and I'm all set for the entire ride. I like it so much I have programs for the Icom, my TYT TH-9800, my Kenwood 72, even my Baofend UV82. Look at it this way, it's the same as ordering dinner delivered to your house, or cook an entire meal!

Thank You for this Video, I am an RT Systems Owner/User but Never Knew about All of these Features. Wow! 73 de KG5TJV

Hello. Thank's big time for doing this tutorail. It realy saved my a$$. I thought that I was going to have to populate this thing one at a time. A very good video!

This helped a lot. Thanks you

I liked the instructions of the video thought I was going to get some instructions your explanation of the system is spot on I own two more

Just past my Technician and General tests. New to Ham radio and this was extremely helpful! KI5MEC

Well done mate - from Australia.

KJ6OXL: Great video; I just ordered the RT software, cable, and CD. I put in a good word about your video also.

I loved the video! I will not buy a radio without buying the RT Systems set of SW and cables! One thing that David only gave a few seconds to is the ability to do this: I buy a Yaesu radio (pick your model) and get all my channels programmed in. I get another radio, lets say an Anytone radio. I buy the RT Systems software and cable for it. I then can open both Yaesu radio RT Systems program as well as the Anytone RT Systems programming tool and here is the time saver... I can copy and paste all the channels directly from one RT Systems program to another!!! Say what?!! Yes! RT Systems KNOWS which columns are used with which radios and copies the appropriate data to the appropriate columns!! TALK ABOUT A TIME SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video

Your point -- free is not free is true. We need to financially support those compamnies that do excellent work like RT Systems.

Wow, started of a little slow, but great info as we got into the video. I am very non techy, so I get bored with this stuff fast. Not to mention an "old" guy. I rook plenty of notes. So thanks for your help David, keep up the good work!!!! Robin in Nevada KJ7SUA 73's

RT Systems now supports Mac natively. My Windows PC died and I replaced it with a Macbook Pro. I already owned the Windows software and cables. All I had to do was purchase the Mac software for $25 and download it the same day.

Tell your friend to insert a channel halfway in between 100 other channels and watch him change his tune :D

I've been using RT Systems programming kits for years. Whenever I give someone a new radio, I always include the appropriate RT Systems programming kit with it, along with a file for the radio that another ham created with all of the frequencies for the repeaters in our area. I've given away maybe 55 radios along with these kits. What you didn't include in the video, was that you need to first "Get Data From Radio", then, once you've done that, you then need to "Send Data To Radio". If you don't at first, "Get Data From Radio", you can't try to "Send Data To Radio", as it won't send it.

Also Karen is a wiz at helping to solve problems

Great video David‼️ Super presentation and you have answered many of my questions but you have created just as many unanswered so I am going back and rewatch this video, I will check you channel out and subscribe it for future videos and I will be getting an email off to you soon! Thanks Mike 73 KV5P

Nice Video. I too have about a dozen of the programmers. Great products. N1JWW

Im waiting for my RT software for my FT-857. NOT a user friendly radio to try to program manually. I will use this video for setting it up. TU David. Dave N9HF.

Just gotba new set, dont need PC control of it so this looks ideal

Hi from Lake Zurich.

Nice ...help a lot. Question, I got 279 frequencies! I don’t need all do I? I see couple in same area like Manhattan. I’m novice. Txs in advance

David, I have the cd and cable and use it on my desktop and laptop. Now if I want to put the software on a Microsoft surface pro tablet how do I go about doing that as the tablet does not have a cd drive?

This user had a different experience using RT Systems cable and software for my newly purchase ID-52A. RT Systems taught me to never by another radio until Chirp has the software for it. After using both I will never buy another RT Systems product. $38 and 6 hours with RT Systems to do what I could have done with Chirp and a common cable for $8 dollar and 5 minutes.

I have used RT systems to program a TYT UV MD-380, and It cheats you. The radio does NOT have ONLY 16 Channels per zone - that is the MD 380 (UHF only) The UV MD 380 has 64 channels per zone : A - 32 and B 32 = 64. Also, it doesn't accept the TG for Echo Test/Parrot in the Digital Receive group so If you use EchoTest / Parrot to hear your voice - you won't hear it because the program doesn't accept it in the Digital Receive Group. The original CPS does not even have updates. It messes up the digital side of the programs like changing the talkgroups on its own - even after you have programmed and saved it. Now, the good points - I use RT Systems to program my FTM400XDR and my Icom 880-H D-Star Radio and it works fine.

Hi I am looking for the RT system for yeasu ft-7900 programming software

My problem with the rt systems program for my FT 991A is, the cable drivers will not install.

I think the ability to maintain 2 separate files needs an explanation as to why RTS has that as the default would be worthy to mention.

my yaesu VX-8 does not have a 25 charter serial number.

Haha, I'm not watching a forty minute video on some dumb program! *40 minutes later* TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Ry rt systems has not innovated in years.

The fact you need to buy a separate license for each radio is cringe worthy. . .
