        This is a generic ICOM clone utility, it has been tested with
        several ICOM Handhelds IC-R2,IC-Q7,IC-T8, ...
        It should work with EVERY ICOM Handheld that supports CLONing.

        INFO
        ----
        If you press the Info butten you will get a message that contains
        the status of your Handheld, in meaning of mods, diodes config,
        country config, tx range, rx range, ...
        This data is coded in several bytes only, it is usual the first
        three bytes from the last four :)))) , in other words: the last
        byte is FD, well the 3 bytes before the FD.

        Download/Upload
        ---------------
        Just power on the device and press Download or Upload.
        No need to set the Handheld in clone mode ...

        Interface
        ---------
        There are several Interfaces on the market from YAESU, ICOM, ...
        You have to consider that some Handhelds use 3V and less
        rather then TTL, the IC-Q7 and IC-R2 when powered by 2 NiCd
        are using 2.4V. At that voltage levels the ICOM interface
        needs some modifikation and the YAESU also, some Interfaces
        will work and some not, that is depending on the luck you
        have with the tolerances of the parts that were used.

        If you want to be shure that everything will work, just
        get the MAKInterface, thats what I am using.


        Have fun and enjoy in live,
