[PCR-1000] To service or Not to service

[George, W5YR]

Since reading so much about corrupted EEPROM problems with the PCR-1000, I
am concerned about my own 1000 which is several years old now. I have used
only the Icom control program.

How does one go about "backing up the EEPROM?"

I am quite computer proficient and would appreciate a description of the
back-up procedure. 

It would be comforting to have a backup stashed away somewhere "just in
case."  <:}

Thanks.
