Icom F40GS

[jtech48]

I Recently Bought A New Icom F40GS and came with programming software (CS-F30G). I am wondering if theres a way to enable a data burst or roger beep on the radio, I couldnt find any option on the software itself that said that, but maybe I missed it and the help tab on the program just opens the wndows help, any help is appreciated thank you

Moved to the proper forum. Please don't post professional radio questions in the receiver's section.

Here is what I have used on my f40gs
1. DTMF Autodial
LOG/ID enter a DTMF ID hear
2. DTMF Settings
DTMF Timer
I have mine set to 0.020
3. on the channel edit screen
field LOG can be :
OFF - No ID is transmitted with the [PTT].
L-IN - ID is transmitted each time [PTT] is pushed.
L-OFF - ID is transmitted each time [PTT] is released.
Both - ID is transmitted each time PTT is pushed and released.

I just bought a 40GT so now when I get it, I'll have some ideas what to do to it!

I've got the 40GT (different than the GS - this has full keypad), and in the software under Common/Set Mode, I have tried the SQL Level from 1-9 and I still get an open squelch on the 1 channel that doesn't have a PL set. Anyway to reset the squelch so it goes away on this channel? On all the other channels, there is a tone set, but the green light stays on.

Set it to 155, at first I thought it was 1-10 also but it actually goes up really high, I have mine at 155 and its perfect

THANK YOU! Now it scans!

I run my 40 gt & 40 gt at 105 and have good luck with a couple of carrier channels, I tried down into the 90's and had open squelch issues. When I got my gt I couldn't figure out why the sensitivity was so off my other radios, and was direct to this setting by this board- my radio came with a setting of 300.

An odd problem I came up with is I was using the rotary knob for channels and P3 for banks. When I would push the P3 button it would show what the current bank is and I can not change them. Same also goes for the SCAN lists. I have two scan list and when I push P0 (for scan), it only does the 1st list. This portable isn't as user friendly as my F5061!

I use the knob for channel change, p1 and p3 for scan and bank, and have 2 side buttons set for channels up/down to move between lists/banks. I am attaching a link to another thread where I got the info on how to make this work.

Still can't get the BANKS button to switch between banks. When I programmed the button for CHANNEL UP, it works fine.
