RT Systems Programming Software for the Explorer QRZ-1

RT Systems RPS-QRZ1 Programming Software simplifies the management of memory channel information and menu settings for the Explorer QRZ-1 radio. The software features a spreadsheet layout with various point-and-click options for user-friendly programming.

Key features of the programming software include the ability to "read" the current radio configuration for editing or starting a new file. The programmer supports copy and paste functionality for memory channel information between files, as well as column editing to efficiently modify multiple channels with minimal typing.

An intuitive interface allows users to access internet-based data for repeater information based on their location, travel route, or vacation spot. Repeater details are available for locations inside and outside the US, though this feature may require a separate purchase or subscription. The software also includes built-in frequency lists for easy memory channel entries.

Users can copy and paste data from spreadsheets or websites, expanding the software's capabilities beyond memory channel programming. It offers settings for various radio menu items, providing a comprehensive solution for programming the Explorer QRZ-1.

RT Systems Programming Software is compatible with Windows 8/8.1 (full version), Windows 10 (32 and 64-bit platforms), and Windows 11 for the Windows version. The Mac version requires Mac OS X 10.13.6 (64-bit) or newer.

Purchase your RT Systems Programming Software for the Explorer QRZ-1 from GigaParts today.

The programming process begins by first installing the program then installing (and allowing) the drivers for the cable. Be sure to complete both of these steps. Next, make all the connections between the radio and the computer and complete Communications \| Get data from radio. This “syncs” the radio and computer. Even if the radio is not yet set up with memory channels, there are details that the programmer needs to get from the radio. Start setting up details for your radio in a “factory fresh” file (File\|New) or in the file that was created when you did Communications \| Get data from the radio. Begin by entering a receive frequency (that will be the frequency published for the repeater). When you press Enter or Tab to leave the Receive frequency field, the program will complete details for the channel. Then customize Name and Tone to match the details you have for that local repeaters. Use the links to external data sources (File \| External data) built right into the programmer to access repeater details for your area or for a location you plan to visit. Then with just a few button clicks, you have a file with hundreds of entries and all you typed was your location (i.e., zip code or city).

Save your file as you work. This is a computer, after all, and you would hate to lose your work should the system fail. Actually, create and save as many files as you want or need. You could have one file for home, a different one for the vacation house, another for the trip to your son’s house, another for the yearly 3K run and picnic where you help direct traffic and want the radio to be programmed with only the frequencies for that event. Remember, radio programming is an overwrite process. Everything in the radio is replaced by everything in the file.
