IC-F2020 & IC-F1020 issues

[darrenster]

Hi All,

I have recently acquired an old stockpile of a bunch of icom IC-F202 and icom IC-F1020 radios including the software and programming cable for them. I'm running into several issues and dont know how to fix it.

1) I've loaded the programming software up onto my computer and attempted to download the program from the radio into the software. I'm getting an error "illegal data." Any ideas in how to correct this?

2) one of the F2020 upon power up displays "CLONE NG" I cant figure out how to fix this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can program these radios, I have several projects in mind, but until i can program these things, I'm at a dead end.

Thanks for your help!

There's a commercial Icom forum that you may find helpful at
ICOM Forum - The RadioReference.com Forums

There's a ton of programming questions on that forum, seems the only people that really know about programming all the different Icoms are Icom dealers. You may be using the wrong programming software, based on several past posts (I've got a couple IC F621TR's myself).
