Icom IC-2820H Basic Operations
These instructions are not a substitute for reading the manual
NOTE:
The IC-2820 is a dual receive radio with a
left
and
right
side and set of keys and
knobs. The active side is identified by a
MAIN
icon in the top “left” corner of the ac-
tive display. When the instructions refer to
MAIN
key or knob, they refer to the active
transceiver side and do not affect the inactive side until the inactive side is made active.
To select the
MAIN
band, either press the
DIAL
knob on the side you wish to set ac-
tive.
The IC-2820 has a magnetic attached face plate. The connector cable may not be attached to the radio initially (use the short one, not
the long extender cable). Note that the six-pin end goes into the main unit and the four-pin end goes into the face plate. The micro-
phone should already be attached and covered by a faceplate.
