Icom IC-M200
Submitted by Ericl on Sat, 2021-07-24 13:06
Hi
Further to a recent post, I went ahead and purchased an Icom. Went for the entry level unit IC-M200.
Installed it this morning and when I went to test it a while ago, I found that I couldn't select Hi power on channel 77. The manual does say that some channels cant select Hi. This would be a bit of a problem as Ocean Reef sea rescue use this channel
Any advice will be most welcome
Thanks

That appears....
to be a USA only setting.
Check that your unit is set for INTERNATIONAL config.

You can actually get online help for minimal cost
From the ICom help line.....I seem to recall it costs $1 but they are a wealth of info and if there is a fix they will know of it

dmck on the money
Thanks for that. Changed to International channel and succesfully managed to communicate with Ocean Reef sea rescue on the Hi setting (from Dianella so happy with that)
