•  The Badger-Radix allows you to send Trouble or Reader codes as well as text 

messages back to the PC host software.   

•  The Badger-Radix can be used to clear tamper conditions and program Badger 

ORION transmitters.

Progress feature displays the current statistics for the meters being read. 

•  The Badger-Radix has an easy to use keypad with hotkeys that make using the 

data collector simple. 

•  The Badger-Radix responses to different meter reading conditions can be 

customized.  For example, you can choose how the Badger-Radix responds when 
a meter’s transmitter does not report, or reports a tamper.  In this way, the Badger-
Radix responds to the way you read meters.
