It's really kludgy. You have to swap the SD card back and forth and import export CSV files.
Do a search - there has been very detailed threads about what's available and the plus or minus of each package.

Thanks. Am seeing the RT system software at $98 bucks. Sound about right? With RT, does entries write direct to the radio? Thanks.
I went back 3 pages to see If I could find something. Figured it would be worth asking in case something new came out.
Go back a couple years.
Rarely does something new come out on a radio that's a couple years old.
The RT software writes directly to the radio and you can back up the files to the SD card in the radio. I actually tried all four available and was very unhappy with the first three and bit the bullet and bought the RT version. I never regretted the decision because it works like I expect RT software to work.
No that is not correct, the sd card stays in the R30 and transfer is done using the USB cable.

My mistake, I apologize.
Think I’ll try the demo on the ARC30 and see how it goes. Heck of allot cheaper than Icom software. Hope it works.
I bought Arc30, RT Systems IC-R30, and CS-R30. And sometimes I still use Excel directly on the CSVs.
What, RT system software has issues?whats the difference between RT and CS?
Haven't taken the time to search up the old thread as yet, I see.
Before using the ARC30 software refer to this manual: ARC30 addendum , it explains how the R30 should be setup and how the transfer works,

Will take a look at it. Thanks
I will shortly
I have worked with RT Systems and ended up just working with a .csv and loading it to the SD card, then bringing it into memory.
What program are you using to work with csv file?
Excel, or any other spreadsheet program typically.
Just about any text editor and many databases can also be used. I think Arc30 falls into this group.
Thanks. Will give it a try. Merry Christmas
