→ “Compress”:
Reduces large-capacity data or
combines a lot of data into one
data.
“Decompress”: Restores “compressed” files.
What is a “zip” format?
→ The “zip” format is one of the compression formats
that is supported by Windows as standard.
The transceiver cannot read an ICF file.
→ A file is for a different product. (Example: Read
data for the ID-51A/E to the ID-51A/E PLUS.)
→ There is no file in the “Setting” folder.
→ The transceiver’s firmware is the initial version that
the repeater list cannot be updated using an SD
card. (Example: IC-7100)
The transceiver cannot read a CSV file.
→ The file has not been copied to the specific folder.
→ The filename has been changed.
L
DO NOT
change the file name and use it as it is
downloaded. If you need to change it, check the
following conditions (except for the extension).
• IC-705, IC-9700, ID-52A/E:
23 characters
• ID-5100A/E, ID-4100A/E:
20 characters
• Models other than the above: 15 characters
What is the difference between “Import” and
“Load Setting”?
→ You can update the repeater list by selecting either
way.
“Import”:
Reads a file (CSV format)
containing only repeater
information. Therefore the
processing time is fast.
“Load Setting”:
Extracts only the repeater
information from all the
setting information for cloning
(programming) software, and
imports it into the transceiver.
What kind of SD card can be used with a
transceiver?
→ You can use the following SD cards:
•
An SD card with a capacity up to 2GB.
•
An SDHC card with a capacity up to 32GB.
L
Security-Compatible SD cards cannot be used.
Do you need to format an SD card that has been
formatted on a PC again on a transceiver?
→ Yes, formatting is required.
→ When you format an SD card on the transceiver,
