I did have RT Systems programming software (WCS-R8600) but I never reinstalled it after I performed a clean installation of Windows (for other reasons). The software was extremely buggy and prone to data loss such as memory channels, some settings of the receiver. I made several videos demonstrating the bugs in the software which were on my YouTube channel. RT asked me to take them down in exchange for a full refund. I guess their sales of that software hit rock bottom with my videos. They did however say they would work on the many issues I found with the software. Whether the bugs were fixed in subsequent updates, I have no idea.
I use the RS-R8600 control software occasionally; mainly for piping the audio to decoders of transmissions such as NAVTEX, HFDL, Marine DCS, ACARS etc. If I'm not doing that, I'm not someone who sits in front of a PC utilizing the SDR side of the receiver. I prefer to be sat in front of the receiver that I can actually physically touch.
