Programming the Icom-M802, & the Open/Dial Mode The Icom M802 has an "Open/Dial" mode not discussed in early documentation. The "Open/Dial" mode enables the M802 to transmit on "Ham" frequencies, support LSB (Lower SideBand), and manually tune almost like a regular AM or ham radio. Here's how to put the radio into the dial mode and set frequencies: |
| Step | Instructions |
Dial Display Change |
|
|
1. |
Put the radio into the OPEN mode. | With the radio turned off hold down the 2, mode, and TX keys at the same time, and turn the radio on. | Normal dial display. The M802 doesn't indicate if its in the open/Dial mode or closed modes. |
| 2 | Select tuning capabilities | Press the CLAR/RX button. If the radio is in the Open/Dial Mode a caret {►} will appear next to the RX on the top line of the LCD display. The channel label will be replaced with the stored frequency and mode, and a cursor (underline) will be under one of the numbers. If the {►} and cursor are not displayed the radio is in the "closed" mode. Repeat step 1 above. |

| 3 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the left knob until the cursor is under the number in the column you want to change. |
8152.0 |
| 4 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the right knob left or right until the desired number in the selected column displayed (in this example 14 MHz). |
14152.0 |
| 5 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the left knob clockwise to move the cursor to the next column you want to change (in this example the 100KHz column). |
14152.0 |
| 6 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the right knob left or right until the desired number in the selected column displayed in the 100 KHz column (in this example 3). |
14352.0 |
| 7 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the left knob clockwise to move the cursor to the next column you want to change (in this example the 10KHz column). |
14352.0 |
| 8 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the right knob left or right until the desired number in the selected column displayed in the 10 KHz column (in this example 1). |
14312.0 |
| 9 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the left knob clockwise to move the cursor to the next column you want to change (in this example the 1KHz column). |
14312.0 |
| 10 | Dialing-in the Frequency | Turn the right knob left or right until the desired number in the selected column is displayed in the 1 KHz column (in this example 3). |
14313.0 |
| 11 | Store the new Transmit & receive frequency | Press and hold the ENT key. When the {►} disappears, the LCD display reverts back to showing the channel label, and SIMP is displayed on the top line, the new frequency and mode has been set. In this example the radio will transmit and receive on 14.313 MHz. | The "SIMP" displayed on the first line of the LCD indicates the transmit and receive frequencies are the same. |
| 12 | Toggle | Press the FREQ/CH key to toggle between the channel and frequency mode. | |
| 15 | Note: It is not necessary to set each column individually. Put the cursor under any of the columns and rotate the right-hand knob, tuning the radio as you would a regular AM / FM radio. Remember, the farther to the right a column is located, the finer the tuning increment. | ||
