I've been using the F30/F40 GT/GS series for about a year and have never had this come up before.

I purchased a used F30GT on eBay and the seller described it as being in perfect working order. The radio does indeed TX and RX and operate just fine. However when I hook it up to read it, I get the following message:

"CS-F30G
The transceiver cannot be programmed. The cause may be:
1. The transceiver has not been cloned.
2 The transceiver's EEPROM is damaged.
3. The transceiver's revision number is not compatible with programming software.
In cases 1 and 2, the transceiver requires factory maintenance. In case 3, the transceiver cannot be programmed using this program."

I have tried moving the cable around, changing COM ports, powering the radio on and off, using different batteries, and even cleaning the contacts on the side of the radio. No luck, still get the above message.

I am using software CS-F30G Revision 1.0, copyrighted 2000 by Icom.

Any assistance is appreciated, thanks!
