The software facilitates memory management and radio settings configuration, often surpassing OEM software in user-friendliness and functionality. Their **USB programming cables**, featuring **FTDI chipsets**, are noted for reliable operation, even in virtualized environments like Windows ARM on a Mac, where OEM cables might fail. Users report that RT Systems software simplifies the often complex process of radio programming, making it less arduous than manual entry. The availability of integrated frequency databases is a significant advantage. The software and cables are frequently cited for their long-term reliability, effective customer support, and thoughtful hardware design, which collectively address common real-world programming challenges for various radio models, including the Icom ID-880H and Anytone 878.

The MCP-F6/F7 software facilitates memory channel and menu data creation for the Kenwood TH-F6A, TH-F7A, and TH-F7E transceivers. It operates on _Windows_ XP (SP3+), Vista (SP2+), Windows 7 (RTM+), Windows 8 (RTM+), Windows 8.1 (RTM+), Windows 10, and Windows 11. System requirements include a CPU faster than the OS recommendation, RAM exceeding the OS recommendation, and **2 MB** of free hard drive space. Display resolution must be XGA (1024 x 768) or higher. Connectivity to the transceiver requires an optional PG-4Y (RS-232) or KPG-22U (USB 2.0) programming cable. The KPG-22U cable necessitates a virtual COM port driver installation. The software supports COM1 through COM20 for RS-232 communication. Installation requires administrator privileges and involves executing "setup.exe" from the extracted MFX101.zip archive. Uninstallation is performed via the Control Panel's "Uninstall a program" function or by re-executing "setup.exe." Created data files are not removed during uninstallation and require manual deletion. The software version is **1.01**. DXZone Focus: Kenwood TH-F6 F7 | Memory Management | Windows | RS-232

Adapting a Wouxun/Kenwood USB cable as a Yaesu FT-817 FT-857 FT-897 CAT connection

With Doozy for Windows you can make QSO’s via your Windows PC on DSTAR ( DPLUS, DEXTRA, DCS and XLX ). There is no need for a hotspot. Just connect your ICOM IC-705 to your Windows PC with an USB datacable and connect it to your favorite DSTAR reflector/repeater.

Barest of bones APRS RF position reporter using a Raspberry Pi B+, USB GPS receiver, Baofeng UV-5R, and a mono 3.5mm audio cable between the Pi and the radio

Programming the FT-8800R via the front panel and microphone keypad is not extremely difficult. Already having a list of local repeaters in CHIRP, the addition of a USB cable would allow you to coordinate the memory layout across multiple radios with ease.

Enables Android users to operate various _miniVNA_ antenna analyzers via Bluetooth, USB, or Wi-Fi, providing a portable solution for RF measurements. The application supports full control over data acquisition, offering features like custom frequency range selection from 1 KHz to the VNA's full range, and automatic screen adaptation for diverse Android device resolutions. It facilitates intuitive, wizard-based calibration for both reflection and transmission modes, saving calibration data for different VNA types (Standard, Pro, Pro with Extender) to avoid repeated procedures. The software displays critical parameters such as SWR, |Z|, Return Loss, Phase, Rs, and |Xs| on 2-axis graphs or Smith charts, with multi-touch gestures for zoom and frequency shift. It includes a frequency generator mode with independent channels and attenuator control for the miniVNA Pro, along with a sweeper function. The cable data mode automatically calculates phase and loss, measures cable length from less than 1 meter to hundreds of meters, and includes a table of common coax cable velocity factors. An experimental X-tal mode measures resonance frequency, Rs, and Q. Data export options include CSV, ZPLOT, and S1P formats, with CSV import capability. The application also features an SM6ENG Audio mode for SWR tuning without visual reference and provides a miniVNA battery voltage indicator. It supports a wide frequency range, with the miniVNA Extender extending coverage up to **1500 MHz**. The application is compatible with Android version 2.2 and later, tested on devices like the _Galaxy TAB 7.7 P6800_.

Super Simple APRS Position Reporter. This project idea has been in response to the more hardware heavy Raspberry Pi projects that involve extra TNC hardware, additional sound cards, and custom cabling. This APRS position reporter is done using a Raspberry Pi B+, USB GPS receiver, Baofeng UV-5R, and a mono 3.5mm audio cable between the Pi and HT.

Optimizing the cable connections for cat control and audio input output by implementing the digirig mobile. A small audio and rig control interface, with a single USB cable supports most QRP radios requiring external audio and CAT control facilities

The article highlights the common absence of modern USB-C ports on handheld ham radios and the limited use of USB for power.
