In this article the author highlights the difficulty of entering data with small buttons and the need to look up information for each channel. To avoid this tedious process author used RT Systems software as a solution. This program simplifies programming by allowing selection based on the radio model, download of frequencies from resources like RFinder, and quick loading onto the radio.
