ICOM IC-R2 software

Hello all,
I have an ICOM IC-R2. I purchased the WCSR2 Windows Programing Software, from RT Systems.
I'm considering adding the Premium Subscription from RadioReference.com. When I looked at the software that is compatible with RadioReference, there was no mention of RT Systems, or the R2.
Is it worth it for me to buy the Premium Subscription, or would I be wasting my money, because they don't sync up?
If the two are compatible, what do I need to do, to get the two systems talking?
Thanks for your help.
p.s. I've had the R2, for quite a while. I gave up trying to program it myself, because it's a huge pain in the rear. I just bought the RT Systems software, so I'm still a rookie with both.

I don't think there is any RT system software - or, frankly, any R2 software, that is RR compatible. I could see the value, however. I've seen the R2 and trying to program a whole bunch of conventional frequencies would make all my hair turn grey! 73 Mike

I use Butel ARCR2 software it copies frequencies form any web site. Like Mike said I don't think there is any R2 software that downloads from RR. I use RT systems for my FT-60R and I don't llike it.

Good luck,

Jim
