If you have one of these, then you need this software.
The ARC3 software for the Icom R3 will add extra power to your Icom R3. Unlike the software from Icom, this software provides a complete management system for your Icom R3 and it is designed by R3 users.
Please compare the list of features below with these other packages before you spend your money.
Compatible with Windows 98 / 2000 / XP -- NOT VISTA AND NOT 7
Compatible with Icom OPC478U USB cable
ARC3 is NOT comptible with Windows Vista or 7.This is no problem for you however, just pull that old computer or laptop out of the closet and use it as a dedicated system. If you don't have an XP computer, check eBay where you can buy laptops complete with XP installed and ready to run with dead batteries which you can then run from AC power instead of the battery. You can grab these for almost nothing because most people fail to see how they can be useful tools for software like this.
