Comment (by anonymous):

 My radio starts scanning upon downloading from radio, even after uploaded
 each of the test images you provided.

 My procedure:

 1. Hard reset the IC-W32A (while holding pressed the buttons [SQL], [VFO],
 & [MR], press the [power] button; release all buttons after 'clear'
 message).

 2. In Chirp daily-07322011, open one of the supplied images.

 3. Use Chirp to upload that image to the radio; then power cycle the
 radio.

 4. Use Chirp to download the radio image.  At the end of the "cloning out"
 process, the MAIN side starts scanning.

 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each of supplied images.


 I checked one of the .IMG files you supplied with the same file downloaded
 & saved from the radio.  My binary file comparator shows that there is NO
 difference between the files.
 I am using a USB-serial adapter (KeySpan USA-49WG with current Win7
 drivers), so I experimented with reducing the control widgets on the COM
 port's configuration to NO buffering and maximum 'compatibility' with the
 hardware serial port.  This COM port config change made no apparent
 difference.

 I'm willing to let it go as a unexplained anomoly, as the workaround is to
 simply stop the scanning operation.  The utility of Chirp's successful
 multi-radio memory cloning tool is not diminished by this issue.
