F4011 Programming options...?

[bobbybob]

I have an F-4011 radio and am wondering exactly what options are available to be set thru the programming software. Icom seems rather stingy with info and I guess want you to "buy it so you can see what it does", kinda like Pelosi and Obamacare lol. Could anyone post a list of the parameters that can be changed, so I can figure out if I want to invest in their precious CD and cable?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure what kind of features you're curious in as to what it does, but the CPS can change lots of parameters in the radio. Besides frequencies and the like, it can change option buttons, scan list, types of scan, mic gain settings, squelsh settings, min volume, and the list goes on and on. If there is a particular feature you are wondering about, it would help.

 

[bobbybob]

Thanks for your response, it was helpful. I am interested in everything that can be changed. I was hoping maybe someone who bought the software could see a listing of these items in the instructions that could be screen-snagged and emailed or published, but I am probably kidding myself since Icom is so danged mysterious about anything and everything except how to turn them on and change the channels. One thing I am curious about is the repeater-capable parameters and what can be changed pertaining to this feature.

I am very familiar with this radio, as I deal with over 200 in rental service and another couple hundred for customers.

Icom software is actually easier to use then some others. If you have a question about an item, just do a an F1 on that item and it will bring up the help file.

You are really veg in your questions/commits about items. Like, what parameters in the repeater-capable?

What is it you are trying to do with this radio?

 

[bobbybob]

I appreciate your response. As mentioned in the original post, I have not yet purchased this software.

Right but what are you trying to change within the radio? What are you using the radio(s) for?

 

[bobbybob]

The radios are used for 2-way communication between motorcyclists. But I don't KNOW exactly what I want to change, because I don't know WHAT can be changed. Its pretty simple---if someone with the software would be kind enough to post a screen grab or listing of the parameters that can be set, it would be greatly appreciated. But if the Icom "info police" are going to bust you for doing this, please don't. lol

Thanks!

I would suggest that if you do not know what can be changed, then you have no need to be messing with the software, making changes you do not understand.

Thanks!

There are no Icom police.

I would suggest that if you don't have anything positive to add, that you go pound sand.

That attitude is more than likely why you are not getting any positive responses.What exactly do you need commercial radios for on your bike runs for?Reason I ask is I am heavily involved in 2 runs a year of anywhere between 800 and 1200.

Check the 'tude dude. Seriously. Almost every aspect of the radio can be modified. If you have no understanding of what the parameters of the radio are, and do, you really need to let someone that knows what they are doing either do it, or teach you hands on.

Also, EVERYTHING can be changed, modified, or adjusted...

I would suggest you drop the attitude. Everyone here is trying to help you, but when you ask such a vague question about something that really no one can answer, and keep going on with that question, what do you expect? If you can't go into further details on what you want to "change" than I will consider this another useless post taking up space on RR's server.

My original question, in the *original post* (anyone reading that?) was asking if someone had--or would be willing to post--a 'list' of all the F4011 programming parameters---I did not ask for help with programming and don't need it but thanks for the offers. This is really pretty straight-forward and simple.

12db, thanks for your earlier post, it did contain some relevant points and I have since ordered the software and cable.

Mule, I use "commercial radios" programmed to the GMRS freqs because they are so much better than the cheap consumer radios. Is there some reason I should not be doing this?

svfd, thats the most bizarre comparison I have ever read. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Was it meant to be racist?

kayn--when you come across as a condescending blowhard, then yes I suddenly get a "tude". dude.

Yall have a great day!

Almost every aspect of the radio is 'adjustable' really, if you do not understand why this is, you really should not be messing with it. What is adjustable is pretty much like every other 16ch, no display LMR radio, in the same 'class' as the IC-4011.

This is really pretty straight-forward and simple.



No it is not. The list would be huge, and if you have any programming experience you would not be asking these kind of questions.

svfd, thats the most bizarre comparison I have ever read. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Was it meant to be racist?

Not racist at all. It's the stupidity of saying you want to make adjustments but do not know what you can adjust. Pretty vague, hence the replies you got.

kayn--when you come across as a condescending blowhard, then yes I suddenly get a "tude". dude.



And when you come across with something so vague you get answers like you got.

Yall have a great day!

You too. And when you can actually express what you need to 'adjust' we will be able to actually give you thoughtful answers.

Once I can actually see what I need to adjust, I will simply adjust it and be done with it---why the hell would I come back here to ask for "help" from a bunch of narcissistic pinheads? lol

Personally, with your attitude, i would not come back and ask for help, you are likely NOT going to get much when you resort to name calling. Good luck making your 'adjustments'... LoL.

THAT dude has an attitude problem.

You guys did a remarkable job of trying to help him, with what little info he had posted. RR has sure got it's years' worth of jerks....
