[Icom] Help With Icom 275H Programming

Sat May 8 00:43:49 EDT 2004

Would someone like to contact Duane directly and give him a hand?  He does 
not subscribe to this reflector, therefore direct e-mail will be needed.  I 
am sure he would appreciate any help you can give him.

73, Dick

I am totally blind, hence the reason I am puzzled and need your assistance.

I have an Icom 275H 2M all mode 100 watt transceiver. It has the optional
tone/squelch board and speech board installed.		

I rarely work anything but simplex. If I need duplex, I just activate the PL
tone and offset as needed. 	

Today I decided to program some memory channels. i thought I knew how.
Apparently I do not.	

Here is what I did and what happened.	

1. released the 'lock' button	

2. pressed the 'memo' button (I was on VFO A)	

3. turned the memory channel select knob to an unused and quiet channel. By
quiet, I mean, dead, nothing.	

4. I was now supposed to select the frequency, but how? Turning the VFO knob
did
nothing for me. Still silence, not even static. However, I had previously
pressed the memory clear button on this channel to clear anything that the
previous owner had there from 1995! It was then that the air noise vanished,
which I expected, as there was no longer any frequency in operation. 	

5. I have an external keypad connected via the data port, so I entered the
frequency there. It worked. However, i was now in the VFO mode and no longer
the
memory mode!	

How in the world do I enter the frequency after I press the 'memo' button?	

If it is selected prior to pressing the 'memo' button, then you press the
memory
write button, it does not work.	

So let's start with the rig on, lock off, on VFO A, simplex on 147.52 How do I
program channel 8 for 147.320 with a PL of 100 Hz and offset of +600?	

Thank you.
