I've had similar problems with the ICOM IC R-2
When trying to load a file with free ware into the R-2, it gives a
message,
"ERROR" thatr comes up on the R-2's display. Then after turing the
power off and
ofback on "CLEAR" shows up on the display and every thing in memory is
dumped.

I try to use the application that came with the computer cable,
it will set the "CLONE" mode for the file transfer automatically in the
R-2 and if the file transfer crashes
the memory contents in the R-2 are not lost.

Thanks for letting us know how the in store programming is working out.
I have down loaded a copy of Win92 and looked at Win95, they look like
easy to us applications.
