[SJRA-Members] Icom IC-V8

[Robert Kernish]

Bob, CHIRP does not support the V8; this page (http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2395) shows that as an unfulfilled request pending since March 2015.  CHIRP does the ICOM V/U82 and the T8A but as far as I know these aren’t the same radios as the V8.

I was wondering if anyone had software for it and/ or someone could either program it for me or lend me the programming cable. Thank you very much. 

A pretty good free software package is CHIRP, available from:

It lists support for your V8.  I use it for my cheap Baofeng HTs and once getting used to how it operates, it was fairly easy to use.
