This directory should contain the following files:

readme             this file
eproms.zip         the files needed to burn your own V4.08 eproms
                   for the RLC-2 and RLC-2a.

          The manual has not been updated since V4.00,
          so it is not copied here.

Notes:

  To install the update you need to unzip eproms.zip and burn two 27C512
  eproms, one with the voice data and one for the main program rom.
  After installing the new roms, power up the controller while holding
  down the initialization button on the circuit board.  This will set
  everything up for factory defaults.  You can then begin programming.

  eproms.zip contains:
    voice401.bin - Binary file for the voice rom
    rlc2a4.08.icm - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Icom HF interface
    rlc2a4.08.kwd - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Kenwood HF interface
    rlc2_4.08.icm - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Icom HF interface
    rlc2_4.08.kwd - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Kenwood HF interface
