[Elecraft] IC-2800

[Walter Underwood]

Have you tried Chirp for managing memories? It is tested with the IC-2820, so it is worth a shot with the I-2800.

I really need to reorganize the memories on the 2800, the UI through the control head is marginally OK when just adding a new one, it's a non-starter for a reorg.  The programming SW won't run on 64-bit Windoze.  I finally got a virtual machine running using Virtual Box, installed an old version of XP, and voila!  the ICOM software runs.  Now I find I can't get the radio into clone mode. Ctrl-Alt-Delete for an IC2800 is mic UP button and 4th button down on the left side of the controller while powering it up.  Done it at least 15 times, and it's still just a radio, no comm out the port.
