Re: [IC-7000] IC-7000 / RT Systems software

James F. Boehner, MD All Messages By This Member #35081 开云体育 To All, ? I know the producers of the RT systems software.? The pricing on their software is very reasonable, as well as their cables. ? I realize international sales of their cables may be somewhat challenging, with shipping and customs charges. ? If you were the producer of the software, would you want to receive endless calls about problems with their software not working, while using generic cables, possibly with counterfeit drivers? ? They are “up front” saying that their software will only work with their cables.? It MAY work with other cables, but not guaranteed. ? To have the most seamless experience, order their package with cables.? If you want to experiment, that is fine-but don’t hold them responsible for unsupported cables. ? ’73 de JIM N2ZZ Ic7000 listowner ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: ic7000@...

I asked this question about the interface cable because they are selling the program separate, without a cable. Better yet for non US OPs, it can be bought as a digital download. (no shipping, customs etc.) Having to buy the program with a cable, the cost goes up fast with shipping and customs charges.? RT systems sells their software for the IC-7100 separate, without the cable (digital download) In this case, they say it it will work with the USB cable supplied with the radio. This will exellent and is a good buy considering all the D-Star stuff it can also handle.. ? Their software it is protect in that it requires a serial number or some form of activation, as far as I know. Were not talking about stealing the program, only discussing the cable to connect the radio to computer. Protecting their interests is one thing but forcing you buy a cable when they could have used a standard CIV cable, that's another thing. The connection to the radio has to be Icom CIV, so what else have they changed so you need their cable?? ? Also, you can back up the CD (for your on archival use) but you may require a special program. The same kinds of programs are used to back up game CDs.. ? ? 73..
