I bought an IC-R5 used (I own an IC-R6 and have had a few IC-R2s, so this series is not totally unknown to me). I have tried setting new memories in the banks both manually and via ARC5 and a cable. No dice. In ARC5 I managed to get data from the radio. But I cannot send new memories. I can wipe out whole banks, clone it to the radio, and the old memories are still there.
Does anyone have any advice? Should I factory reset it and how would one do this? Is there a diagnostic to confirm the memory functionality? Or is there a way to lock/unlock memory writes?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. A radio like this with so few buttons is basically worthless without being able to program memories unless you only listen to one or two things.
