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

? This is why they? have lost so many sales. restricting software to special this? special that, etc. only drives customers away. myself, if it doesn't use a universal cable, i won't buy it. it is bad enough to have to buy a couple cables, let alone 20 to 50 cables for different radios to program, then controller cables, etc.

?? myself, i do not want a lot of cables, this way in case of emergency, i can grab a couple cables tops and do everything i need to do.

? also, laptops only have a couple USB's. and when you have to load a ton of different drivers for all those different special cables your limited RAM memory runs out fast, just with an operating system chews up enough memeory, let alone add more on top, like drivers for all those cables. which on my laptop. i can only run 3 max at a time, one is always used by my mouse. many times i have a cell phone in another. so that gives me one free USB for rig control, one for digital modes, etc. not much room..

? The phone aside,
one port is for HF rig control and HF digi-modes, the other port is for VHF/UHF rig control and digi-modes.
only 2 cables for 2 rgs. why should i need to add more cables?

I really didn't quite understand why they tied the cable to the software like that.Still makes it a little difficult when their cable, a Prolific, decides not to work with Windows or vice versa. Mine keeps coming up as "device not recognized, a USB device has malfunctioned blah blah etc". Perhaps it is the cable itself. Maybe it was fixed in a recent update, as I haven't seen this lately.

I am not working for RT systems but I do know that a lot of manpower in
term of time are invested to write such programs and its only natural they
want to protect it, so they use special cable, they make sure you can't
copy their CD (although I'd love to have a backup).
