In online mode (utility connected to the RTX), you can change in "almost realtime" the memories and send it from the computer.

Requirements

PC with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. It should work also on Windows XP and Vista (never tested).
Microsoft Dot Net 4.0 Framework libraries (normally already installed in 99% of the computers today). If you don’t have it, you can download and install it for free from the Microsoft official web site at : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
CAT interface connected to the RTX (just a serial cable is enough).
RTX Yaesu FT-5000 (with latest firmware) connected to the PC via serial port (or via USB Serial Port emulator).

At hardware level, if you already have a computer connected to the RTX (for example for same Cat control program as Ham Radio Deluxe) you don’t need anything else.
