That fixed it! Great! Does this mean if I upload the image file, I'll lose whatever setting I have that you aren't handling? Or was I just messing up your error handling? Nope, the download was going just fine, it was just the subsequent parsing of the image that was choking unnecessarily.

Weeel. yes and no. If I download then upload, everything looks as it was. If I download, export, import, and upload, it isn't - memories with tone squelch become memories with tone. Looks like that's simply because the CSV file only shows tone on or off. Heh, well, I should have

No, it's a homebrew cable. I'm using the front data port. So, someone else mentioned something about this. I wasn't aware that you could do clone operations through the front data port. You can use the CS-2820 through that port? Oh? I didn't know that. I found a document online that shows

Tried that, no change. It's strange that your cable doesn't seem to be echoing what the PC sends. Are you using an OPC-478? In the ICOM (and I think all other) cables, the TX and RX pins are tied together in the db9 connector, so that the computer sees everything that it sends, plus the radio
