I am trying to see what the crowd likes or dislikes about the current digital scanners. I am a fan of a Motorola style digital scanner. I have mentioned in another thread title " We're almost there , almost " that the need for a new improved Motorola ( professional portable ) style scanner is...

I initiated a Thread in the past regarding the necessity for a more durable scanner. I received numerous replies in the positive, but was shocked to receive a few negative, as if what I was saying needed to be kept a secret. I still believe it’s time for a company to look into producing a...

I have 6 brand new ICOM IC-F43GS's out of the box and I just can't seem to get them into a state where I can program them with the CS-F33G software. I've tried holding the Up key and P0 while powering on but with no luck. I've never had a problem with all of the motorola, yaesu, kenwood or icom...

Hi guys, I am new here so welcome everybody. and sorry to ask for a help straight after registration but I struggle with this a lot. I purchased used icom-f80ds p25 radio from ebay for almost nothing. It seems like a nice radio, durable and biger than other radios I have, but I cannot get it...

I have several F21 and F21GM radios. I made a programming change on the channels and now the repeater channels only work on channels 1 and 2 and not on the rest of the other repeater channels. Talk Around works on channels 1 and 2, but not on the rest of the repeater channels. BTW, when I say...

I have an Icom F9011 with programmer and cables. What I hold like some help on how to program the radio for amateur 2m frequencys as well. I have put the freqs into the radio. However when I use it no one can hear me and I. can't hear my self on my other radio nor can this radio hear me from my...

I have been wondering for a long time now if ICOM is ever going to make a P25 version of the / or like the IC-R20 Think about it, If they had a digital version of the R20 that was still dual band and same frequency range, but it received digital, APCO 25 phase I and phase II, X2-TDMA etc etc...

I will start by saying that I am a complete noob when it comes to ICOM. I just picked up a used ICOM IC-F3161DT from a guy off of craigslist, and when I turn it on it has railroad frequencies saved. Is there a way that I can reset it so that I can program what frequencies that I want to use? I...

Before I install my Icom ID880-H into my 2014 Jeep Cherokee, I would like some helpful hints. -Routing the power cable from the battery to the radio location. -mounting the control head using the supplied hardware. -locating the main radio unit nearby away from the main dashboard. -using EMI...

I am trying to interface my IC-7100 to the RS-BA1 remote software from Icom. I have the local software talking to my rig via Windows XP. But I run into two problems if I turn off the software or even exit it completely. First the IC-7100 microphone no longer connects to the IC-7100 unless I...

I am trying to duplicate a problem with my radio - an ICOM R-8500 tonight with out luck. I purchased it in 1999. Are there jammers that will block an extremely wide area of bands? Below is a copy of my email to ICOM about my issue. The key work at the end of my paragraph is "intermittent" which...

I have an ICOM 621-2-TR running conventional UHF in the business band. It transmits fine, but on receive it seems very insensitive. Even with the monitor button on, it only picks up very strong signals. I have tested the antenna (1/4gp) with and adapter to a HT and the antenna is fine. My...

Hello all, I'm planning on getting a R-75 soon and want to be prepared by having a good antenna for it soon as possible. I usually monitor utility stations, military freqs, aircraft, number stations, hams, unknown signals, and commercial broadcasts, as well as DXing for signals. So pretty much...

Is there a way of telling exactly which segment of the UHF band this radio covers? When programming, I get a CL good indication from the radio, but some frequencies flash, and others TX but not RX. Serial no. is 107163 if that helps. Thanks, Gregg, N2UUP

Hi! I have a question about my ICOM IC 2-GXAT. I've had it 20+ years and it's traveled all around the country with me in planes, trains and automobiles and it worked flawlessly. It's old and it's single-band, but it does the job. The only thing I've ever had to do is replace a battery pack...

Hi all, in need of assistance. I have 6 ICOM IC-F3021S portable radios, that are in need of programming. Before anyone throws at me for not being a "licensed ICOM tech., I understand, and do not need that as answer, or "take it to a certified dealer". That's not why im here. I have acquired...

After an exhausting search (to no avail), for a schematic to make a bypass plug for an Icom F121 I decided to figure it out for myself. I wanted to basically use the radio as a scanner without the possibility of it being able to transmit as it is sharing a receive antenna with other receivers...

I have an ic f4001 and a usb programming cable. I have the CS-F3000 program, and the Proflic PL 2303 driver. Whenever I try to connect an error pops up that says "Cannot Access COM (whatever number I have selected)". It does this regardless of whatever COM Port I have selected. Any ideas on...

My Icom IC-R71A was having some 'strange' problems, and I've traced one problem as the negative ten volt supply on the 'Matrix Board' being inoperative. Failure of this PS is noted in the Icom troubleshooting guide as affecting the audio output and S-meter. So, I have disconnected the...
