My suspicion is that it could be used as a way to clone personality info from one radio to another, without having to use ProGrammer or RPM. Dump the eprom contents and write them to another radio. Would it work without additional tweaking? I just don't know.

Well, I guess you COULD do this - but be aware that the personality is in 2 sections, the flash part and the EE part, and the EE part is intertwined around the tracking data, the factory data and the feature string. You'd have a hard time erasing the flash section in the target radio though. However, it's MUCH easier using RPM or ProGrammer
