Thanks for purchasing Memory Master for the Icom IC-706. I feel sure that 
you will be pleased with the ease of operation  and the versatility  that 
has gone into the production of this software. Programming the memory 
channels from the front panel of a 706 can be a very time consuming and  
frustrating operation. Memory Master allows you to make changes to the 706's 
memory channels with ease. The program automatically sets up split 
frequencies for repeaters by comparing the VFO A and VFO B frequencies that 
you enter. If  the frequencies are different, the program automatically turns 
on the SPLIT FUNCTION and stores the memory channel for repeater operation.


                                   SETUP                                                


Setup could not be easier. Just copy all the files to a directory of your 
choice on your hard drive. The program can also be run from a floppy, but
it will be considerably slower. 


                         *****VERY IMPORTANT*****

The IC-706 must be setup with  a CI-V ADDRESS of 48H  and a CI-V BAUD of 9600. 
These functions can be checked by looking at the menu display. To access the 
menu hold the LOCK button while pushing the POWER button. The radio will 
come on in the menu mode. Check the following menu items:


 Menu #                          Comment                          Value

 21                              CI-V ADDRESS                     48H
 22                              CI-V BAUD                        9600
 23                              CI-V TRN                         on

                                         



You can look at each menu setting by pushing the UP or DOWN buttons. 
Changes can be made to a menu item by turning the VFO KNOB until the 
correct setting appears. Turn off the 706 by pushing the power switch to 
save the settings.

                                OPERATION

At the dos prompt type MM.  The program will automatically read the 
MEMORY.DUH and COM.INI files and display their contents on the screen. 
The program will run with Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 and can be setup 
with an appropriate icon.


Pressing the F1 key will advance the edit screen to each consecutive page.  
The frequency data for each memory channel will be displayed as it was 
stored in the MEMORY.DUH file. 

To edit a memory channel, press the F1 key until the page with the desired 
memory channel is displayed on the screen. 

Press the F3 key and follow the prompts. If you enter anything incorrectly 
the computer will indicate an incorrect response with a beep and allow you 
to reenter the data. Enter the VFO A and VFO B frequencies in MHZ. 
(Example 14.200)  If you enter 14.200 for VFO A and  14.200 for VFO B Memory 
Master will automatically compare these frequencies and store 14.200 as a 
simplex frequency. To program repeater frequencies enter the transmit 
frequency into VFO A and the Receive frequency into VFO B. Memory Master 
will compare these two frequencies and automatically store them as split 
frequencies. (For Example: to store the 146.94 - repeater...you would enter 
146.340 in VFO A and 146.940 into VFO B) As you edit memory channels they 
will be highlighted on the edit screen with green print on a red field and 
sent to the Memory.duh file.
   

Once  you have made all of the desired  frequency changes on the edit screen  
you will be ready to program the IC-706. Check your com port setting !  
Press F8 to toggle between COM 1 and COM 2.  Press F6 and sit back and 
watch as your frequencies are programmed into the IC-706. It only takes 
about 2 minutes on most computers. Memory Master will start programming  at 
memory channel 1 and continue to program all channels through 99. 
Memory Master will end with a beep and return back to the edit screen. 

                                
                                DEMO VERSION

The DEMO version of Memory Master is completely identical to the REGISTERED
version except it will only program the first six memory channels on the 
IC-706. Please use the form provided in the register.doc file for 
registration.


Thanks again for purchasing MEMORY MASTER. If you have any questions or 
suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line. Ideas are welcomed !!!  
I feel sure that this program will evolve as your suggestions come in and  
I will repay your kindness by providing upgrades to registered users at a 
VERY reasonable price.
