[ICOM] Programming the IC-W32A

[Dave Cook]

Ok, thanks Gary for saving me the trouble of trying it. I guess I still
might make my plea to the Icom folks in the local office, but as you said
before, it's most likely a lost cause. What a pity  they feel this should be
a proprietary secret after all these years that the unit has been on the
market. I wonder what the reasoning is for keeping the programming protocol
proprietary.
