  Energies and lifetimes are reported for the eight Br-like ions with 43 $\le$
Z $\le$ 50, namely Tc ~IX, Ru~X, Rh~XI, Pd~XII, Ag~XIII, Cd~XIV, In~XV, and
Sn~XVI. Results are listed for the lowest 375 levels, which mostly belong to
the 4s$^2$4p$^5$, 4s$^2$4p$^4$4$\ell$, 4s4p$^6$, 4s$^2$4p$^4$5$\ell$,
4s$^2$4p$^3$4d$^2$, 4s4p$^5$4$\ell$, and 4s4p$^5$5$\ell$ configurations.
Extensive configuration interaction among 39 configurations (generating 3990
levels) has been considered and the general-purpose relativistic atomic
structure package ({\sc grasp}) has been adopted for the calculations.
Radiative rates are listed for all E1, E2, M1, and M2 transitions involving the
lowest 375 levels. Previous experimental and theoretical energies are available
for only a few levels of three, namely Ru~X, Rh~XI and Pd~XII. Differences with
the measured energies are up to 4\% but the present results are an improvement
(by up to 0.3 Ryd) in comparison to other recently reported theoretical data.
Similarly for radiative rates and lifetimes, prior results are limited to those
involving only 31 levels of the 4s$^2$4p$^5$, 4s$^2$4p$^4$4d, and
4s4p$^6$configurations for the last four ions. Moreover, there are generally no
discrepancies with our results, although the larger calculations reported here
differ by up to two orders of magnitude for a few transitions.
