There is also a newer version called Two Way Radio that works with all of my Puxing models. My version is 1.0.1. Check out this page to see if this helps: https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/Downloads_ep_40.html I also found this: https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/RPS-888-Programming-Software-Only-for-the-Puxing-PX-888_p_431.html See if any of these helps. Otherwise you are welcome to try a copy of the free software that I am using.
