Icom: Icom IC-2800H Programming Software

[muddysamurai]

Does anyone out here have the programming software for an Icom IC-2800H? I just aquired one and made some repairs to it to get it working and I would like to hopefuly program it with the software. Unfortunally RT systems no longer even sells the software and there is nothing avaliable on Icom's website either. Dosen't appear to be supported by Chirp either. I think I have a cable that will work with it.

Just as an update, I found a source for the Icom sofware...it was a little sketchey but, I had no problms downloading it and it seems clean. It is version 1.0. I am not sure if that was the latest version. I did purchase a USB cloning cable (not an Icom, that may be my next step) Unfortunally I have not been able to the the software to see the radio. I did make sure the driver was set to Com port 2 (unused). I have a decent amount of experience with getting knockoff cable to work with various Boufeng radios. So right now I am slowly hand programming the radio, but I would love to be able to still back the radio up.

I would love to hear from anybody who has luck recently getting connected to this radio. I know it is an older radio and it seems to only been made for 4-5 years and it does not seem to be a plethora of these radios out there.
