If I knew for sure which update did it, I'd let everyone know to avoid it, 
maybe someone can check in to that if the program writer hasn't yet and will 
let us know, I wonder if it's the same update that causes the IC-t90A 
programmer not to work, if so, I can look that up and it's an easy file to 
replace with no adverse effects at all and I even have the file from having 
done it myself, I'll investigate when I can.
