Thanks Dale and the group.  I've been observing but very reluctant
to try an upgrade.  I'm not into great improvements, but my ten year
old radio needs help I do NOT want to dump the EEPROM!!!  I have
the ICOM program and rapidly discarded it.  There must a mild upgrade
without long term corruption that us "ordinary" people can try!!
