Hmm, bummer! I thought that the Icom images did have that string in it.
Have you looked for just the first two bytes? IIRC, The first two bytes
signal the main model, and then the last two signal the variant or model
(i.e. the E one). You might look for the first two and see if it looks
like the second two are there nearby anywhere (not necessarily right
after the first two).

Yeah, that's less ideal, but if it's the only way it'll work.

Thanks Marco!
