There is a programming glitch in the RT Systems Icom Programming Software (Version 2.05) that does not allow later serial numbers of the Icom IC-W32A to be programmed properly. This does not affect the earlier serial numbers of the W32A.
If you are trying to program a later model W32A with the cloning software and it will not accept the data from the PC, there is a simple fix.
Somewhere along the way, Icom changed the range of the expanded receive and made the expanded receive standard on the later versions of the W32A.
In programming the radio using the programming software (on the later serial numbers), do not check the "Expanded Rx" box in the software.
Checking this block on the later serial numbers will cause the programming not to take in the radio when transferring from the PC.
