The MKIIG did not allow for tones to be set in memory via computer, the 7000 does... Right now, TRX Manager will set Freq, offset, tone, etc in memory except memory labels. I was able to read my TS-2000 memories and write them to the 7000. A maximum of 99 memories can be accessed , but you can change the memory bank on the radio and download another 99..

The secret is to use 01 for memory bank A, 02 for B etc. So the command becomes FEFE70E01A00010001FD I emailed both ICOM UK and ICOM US for information. Both both kindly replied in a timely and of course polite manner but with no useful information. I have therefore had to 'work it out' as usual. When you get the command to work you'll understand my comments (and Dean's) about writing the memories. Hope this helps.

Also if you ARE selected to that memory channel, for some reason the main frequency does not appear until you change to another memory and back. However if you LIST, then all is read fine. Actually if you are in LIST Memories when you write , everything pops up on the screen correctly. Another item: The SKIP Memory feature is not used on the 7000, rather, if you want to scan a memory channel, you must enable "SELECT" 0EB0 off, and 0EB1 on, while selected to the desired memory channel. However, while you can write the contents to the memories without being selected to the memory, it appears you must select the memory then make it active in order to enable select for scanning. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= =======================================================================
