Radtel RT-600 Air/weather locked

[NevadaJz]

I am trying to use my Windows computer using a Baofeng cable to program my Radtel RT-600 air/weather. The software is blocked just when it tries to connect to the radio.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Is there a way to do a factory reset?

I ran this by Radtel Tech and returned the comment that it should work. I sent them photos and videos on the connection procedure. They didn't see anything wrong. I even sent photos of the software download from their site.

I am able to program my Baofeng using CHIRP without problem.

Sounds like a programming cable or driver issue, maybe wrong chip in cable for your radio. This could explain why your Baofeng cable works using Chirp but not the other programming software.

I included the photo in the group I sent to Radtel. There was no comment about the Baofeng cable.

Any suggestions on a cable that may work?

One thing about programming RT-600 is you must turn on audio volunme knob before plugging in the cable.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I have been screwing with this radio for four days, sent radtel and i-Talkie numerous emails and have got no help from them. I even purchased the radtel cable and could not get this radio to connect.

Today I installed the CH341 USB driver from radtel's website and reverted back to to baofeng cable. Nothing was working until I pressed hard on the cable producing a "Click" sound, upon that the radio and software found each other and I was able to Write to the radio. The radtel cable seems too loose and the baofeng cable had to be pressed hard to get a connection.

On a side note, UHF Aviation frequencies won't program as AM even with AM selected in the software.

Hope this helps.

I am ordering the new Radtel RT-730 (not sure who actually makes it). Have a few software questions,
Radtel software works on Windows11?
How open the .RAR file? What is the best app to unzip?
What is the procedure to read/write? I assume turn on radio, turn up volume, plug in cable, read/write. Sound about, right?
Thanks

I’m glad I read this. Got my RT-600 today, Chirp apparently not compatible
Downloaded RT Systems software, wouldn’t load.
I downloaded the cable driver from Radtel, then updated by Windows ‘recommended’ driver
The Radtel cable is too loose, but a Baofeng UV-5R cable worked once I pushed it in firmly and felt it seated and the software worked, local freq.’s loaded right away

But I already ordered the RT Systems cable so now I have 5 or so

Worked for me and I think it was already ‘On’ when i plugged the cable in also
