The new RT systems software is not accessible on it's own, what I have found 
is, if you can figure out how to lay it out right, you can make a file in an 
excel spread sheet and import that and it will work that way. it's a royal 
pain to say the least, but that's how I programmed an FT-817. If you know 
the columns, you should be alright, you don't need to fill in all of them, 
like transmit frequency doesn't need to be filled in as long as you put the 
plus or minus in the next box, but really, it's a pain and they plan to fix 
it but not for a couple years.
