The BAO-5R software helps you program memory channel and menu setting details of the radio. While this programming package, software and cable, may cost more than the radio, it is the one accessory that will make that radio truly usable. With ease you will set up the radio without having to struggle to identify which of the many variations or firmware versions of that radio you happen to have. The RT Systems programmer takes care of all that for you by simply doing Communications | Get data from radio. With that one easy step, the program knows all about the radio and its programming (of course, be sure your programmer is up to date - Help | Check for Updates - before you complete this process).

See the list below in red for model exceptions for this programmer. In all cases, do Communications | Get data from radio to let the program know what variety of the radio you have. (Call tech support if your new radio does not program on the first... or second try.)
