What you get is the software on a 3 1/2 floppy and a serial port to IC-Q7A adapter cable. The software loaded on a Windows 98 machine without a hitch and within 15 minutes, I had the freqs rearranged to my liking. The instructions received were somewhat minimal, but the software is pretty intuitive so that was not a problem. I also tried Vlaski's freeware using the RT adapter cable and it worked as well, but I went back to the RT software because of ease of use. Just the adapter cable alone is worth it. I gave it a 4 because of the instructions.

I also have many of the same problems as other people here with my adms-2h software. Even after implementing the so called patch they offer, the software still has serious problems. I also emailed RT Systems, Inc and they never replied back. This is unexcusable in my opinion because we are the people who buy their products. When presented with a real problem with their product they don't even reply to you. RT Systems, Inc has shown us all how NOT to do business, and its up to us let them know in forums such as this. After all, this is where potential buyers of these products sometimes look BEFORE buying. I would not buy anything else from RT Systems, Inc or anything with their name on it.

Pitiful All Around
Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
On July 21st I emailed RT Systems with my findings on their newly released ADMS-2H software. I provided them with detailed problems I encountered with their software, and asked for a solution. As of July 30th I have not received a reply to my original poor software issue, nor any response whatsoever regarding any fixes for the abortion they are now selling. Now I understand the first patch, of which I'm sure will be many patches, is available on their website. I was made aware of this patch by a friend, and NOT by RT Systems. RT Systems apparently doesn't return customer support emails, even from it's PAYING customers, and I have purchased the last piece of software (or anything for that matter) from them. RT Systems' ADMS-2H software and their customer service is pitiful, and I would NOT recommend you buy anything from them or their distributors. ---------------------- Earlier 2-star review posted by KE4RWS on 2003-07-21 Purchased this software last week for two of my Yaesu FT-8900's, and it's apaprent RT Systems didn't do their homework on this software. Otherwise they wouldn't have released it until they worked out the bugs. About every 3rd time you write to your radio the process locks up completely, giving an 'error' message on the radio, and COMPLETELY resets your 8900. You must turn the radio off, back on again, then try the write process again. Several selections in the software are either reversed or WRONG altogether. The two microphone selections are reversed (MH-42 & MH-48). The dimmer setting is wrong as well. If you select the highest backlighting setting, the actual result is next to the lowest. Upon reading from the radio several channels were completely omitted for some reason. Still waiting to hear back from RT Systems to see what they intend to do about this problem. For $44 I'm quite disappointed. It doesn't appear this product was even tested before it was released. Not recommended for purchase at this time . . .

Sold before its ready
Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I bought the 'latest' version at Dayton, version 1.03. It could not save a file, could not read a file, etc. Wrote RT systems an email. Two weeks later, I got a patch. It now works. In the mean time, I started using VX7 COMMANDER. A much better program, more options, settings, flexible.

Complete disaster !
Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After spending several hours of trying to get the software working as it should I gave up. My list of bugs and errors is too long to mention here. Leaves me frustrated. Shame on RT Systems for selling software this way.

Another product sold before its ready
Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Got the 'brand new' version at Dayton 03. Version 1.03. Was told it worked. It did not save right, could not read a save file, etc. Wrote RT Systems an email. Took two weeks for a response. They did send a patch. THEN they put the patch on their web site. WITH the patch, it works.. however VX COMMANDER for the VX7 does much more, and is cheaper!! Make sure you have all the cables you need. The VX7 has a special cable to the connector. I am NOT buying a FT-8800, just because RT makes the software, and no one else.

Become a BETA tester
Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have used three different versions, for various radios, of software by this company. NONE works correctly! The level of errors I see in their products leads me to believe that end-users are their 'beta' testers. This is not quality programming. So, the problems reported here are nothing new.

not too good
Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Upon initial transfer of radio information to computer the software will not copy information from all bands. Upon transfer of information from computer to radio the software will not transfer all computer information to the radio. In addition, at times, upon transfer of data from computer to radio, the radio will enter into an error mode and all transfer stops. Radio must be turned off and the transfer restarted. Some times this works, other times the dreaded error occurs again. I understand RT Systems has a patch for some of these problems, however untill these shortcomings are corrected, I cannot endorse this product

works fine for me
Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have had this software for a while and have used it with good results. I did order the kit with cables and sotware so did not have to hunt for adapters etc. I already had the Ct-91 mike adapter so it made eveything easy when kit arrived. I have read a lot of negative comments elswhere, but found none of it to be true in my use of the software or cables. Works fine for me

Needs to get with the Windows 2000 and XP issues
Time Owned: N.A.
For what it's worth I don't know if it applies to this issue but Windows 2000 and XP no longer work with I/O calls regarding vxd's (virtual device drivers) so any software that relies on these calls to operate are rendered useless. This is not a new problem and it's just the laziness of software developers to make them work otherwise.So this may infact be the poblem with you program

Ham Radio Programming Software
For over 26 years, RT Systems has produced the most up-to-date amateur radio software for all the top radio manufacturers. Along with the most reliable software, RT Systems makes the best cables for programming and/or control. RT Systems invented amateur radio programming in 1995 when the Yaesu FT-11 'cloned' and Rod (yes that's Rod Thompson who is still leading this company) wondered if we could get it to talk to a computer instead of another radio.. once done, the rest is history. RT Systems provides a system that works! The system includes an RT Systems Programmer designed specifically for your radio (nothing extra to wade through) and a RT Systems USB cable designed to work with your radio and eliminate com port setup. If you already have the correct RT Systems cable for the software, you can purchase and download the RT Systems programmer directly to your computer and use it to program your new radio immediately. You can even copy and paste details from one programmer to another so the file started for the new radio can be ready to go in minutes!

What our customers are saying about us . . .
'Just wanted to drop all of you at RT Systems a message to tell you what outstanding customer support and tech support your company has. Every time I’ve had a problem with drivers on my Windows PC’s, you're on line customer tech support has been the best in the industry. I wouldn’t use any other software for radio programing but RT Systems. The fact that you have now transported many of your apps over to the Mac OS is a real big deal for me. Way to go RT Systems, keep up the outstanding work.' - K6RMW in Watsonville, CA
'I've been using RT Systems programming software and cable for years and have always been 100% satisfied. Monday for the first time, I ordered the electronic download version for my Wouxun KG-UV5D. The download and installation only took a few minutes and within 15 minutes I was entering data. I use RT systems software for my Kenwood, Yaesu and now Baofeng and Wouxun radios. These cables ALWAYS work and ALWAYS find the COMM ports!' - K9RRX in Kalamazoo, MI
'I am a retired guy who often has issues with software and computers, but even I had my Baofeng UV-5R connected and talking to your software literally within 10 minutes after I opened the box! This software is very cool, I spent the afternoon downloading repeaters from the Repeater Base to RT Systems and then to my radio for an upcoming RV trip. Thank you for making this process such an easy experience, it makes me feel very empowered that I can talk to my radio all by myself. All I can say is WOW! What fabulous customer service and products!' - K6HOM in Sacramento, CA
'Your program was one of the best investments I have made in all my years in Ham Radio. I’m sure the cost of your program is offset by the hours others spend trying to get “free” programs to do what they want it to do.' - WB8BTI in Napoleon, Ohio
'Thank you RT Systems for providing excellent software, cables and tech support. You are the first company that I’ve found in many, many years of buying ham radio items that actually takes the time with your tech support to insure that each customer’s questions are completely answered. On every occasion that I’ve called or emailed, your support was instant as well as complete. Many companies claim that they support their software and hardware, then say, ‘Your lack of knowledge of how to use your radio is not our problem’. By contrast, RT Systems asks ‘What radio are you using?’ and walks the customer through each step to get the job done, providing EXCELLENT SERVICE!' - KD0ZK in Boynton Beach, FL
'I have tried free software available elsewhere, and concluded that it is made for people who’d rather solve programming puzzles than get on the air.' - WS7SAR in Placerville, California
' Thank you for a useful and to-the-point answer. I have had very good luck with your products and I recommend them whenever I am asked. My only gripe, they work so well, I want versions for all my radios..… Yes, it's true, the software works well for me. I also know thee is someone yo help if i ever have a problem.'
Received my RT Systems cable to program my Kenwood TH-D7AG and LOVE IT! The software makes it SO easy to program my handheld. Thank you!!
