#!/usr/bin/env python3
# horrible python script to set time and date on the IC7300
# or other Icom radios that use the same protocol.
# I made this script because the IC7300 has a faulty RTC battery and it does not have
# ethernet connection and NTP client like the 7610, 705, 9700, R8600, etc.
# This script sets the time slightly wrong because you cannot set seconds, only minutes.
# I'm a sysadmin and not a programmer and this script violates ALL the programming
# best practices. ALL of them. Feel free to make it much better.
