Programming an Icom
« on: August 13, 2007, 06:40:50 PM »
I found an Icom to buy and they will program it. What do I need to to tell them to get it programmed right?
I guess Reddog is dead. =(

Thats a good question though.  I don't use Icom and program my own radios.  What is the frequency scheme that AA uses?

I maybe stirring up more trouble than its worth but why are you using the FRS?  There are better choices that are legal to use.

Is it possible for an ICOM to use sub channels?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't sub channels just different squelch settings?
