[PCR-1000] Win XP and Icom Software

Sat, 27 Apr 2002 18:59:31 -0400

Watch it - the EEPROM data for your radio is for YOUR radio.

Even as a starting point to reloaded a corrupted EEPROM, you would want the
contents from one with a serial number verrrrrrrry close to yours.

Loading your radio with someone else's EEPROM data can be hazardous to you
listening pleasure.  Without the ability to align the radio, it's like
spinning all the coils and pots in a discrete component rig and praying for
at least some static....
