FWIW, I think it _does_ actually have its own frame format, it just calls it "DupToneFrame" because it was like the earlier ones, but.. had duplex/tone which the 7200 doesn't. I think that at that point we were probably thinking that the memory format would be more consistent among models. Nothing else actually uses that except the 746, if I'm reading correctly.

Well, I think I wrote that a long, long time ago when I still owned an IC-746.  I was probably more of an idiot back then than I am now, which is saying something.  But Dan did accept the code eventually, but I think that’s more because I bribed him with bandwidth than the quality of the code.
