Dick gives his opinion about our latest products: "Guys..you really know your business, it really puts the ICOM software to shame!"

ARC2 (software for ICOM R2) is reviewed in Monitoring Times, January 2001 by Bob Parnass. ARC3 is similar software.

Monitoring Times conclusion: "The BuTel software provides several additional features such as report printing, data import/export, flexible COM port assignment, bank and channel labels, channel sorting, etc. We found ARC2 easier to use and more polished than the freeware."

Quote from Mr. Rich Wells published at his superb website strongsignals.net: "If this software is anything like what he offers for AR8200 users, it should be very popular!"

 This new software will add extra power to your Icom R3. Unlike the software from Icom this software is a real manager for your Icom R3 designed by Icom R3 users in The Netherlands and Icom R3 operators in the US and Canada. We only design dedicated software for radio's we use ourselves.
Please compare the list of features below with these other packages before you spend your money.
