[ICOM] ICOM marine/ham radios

[Adam Farson]

Hi Jim,

There is no regulatory issue involved in configuring an HF marine or PMR
radio to transmit on amateur frequencies. The IC-M700 and IC-M710 series
will work fine on the amateur bands, although the IC-M700 will not transmit
above 22.999 MHz.

I do not believe there ever was an IC-M725, and a Web search comes up dry.

An IC-M700 or IC-M700TY might be a reasonable trade for a really clean
IC-725.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I am well aware of the illegality of transmitting on an ICOM 725 on Marine
frequencies..even though it is an easy conversion to effect on the ICOM 725.
What are the legalaties of modifying an ICOM IC-M710 to transmit on Ham
frequencies?

Is there a coresponding IC-M725 to the IC-725 ham rig?

Does anyone have an IC-M725 they would trade for an IC-725 that is in
perfect condition?
