M802 Channels 

HF Marine Transceiver 

 
Your new Icom M802 has 160 user programmable marine channels in addition to the 

ITU channels, most of which have been preprogrammed by Icom America. These 
channels have been programmed to best reflect the needs of boaters throughout the 
United States. These user channels can be reprogrammed by you, the user. A list of 

the preprogrammed channels is included. Also included is a procedure you can use to 
reprogram these channels to best reflect your operating needs, as well as an article 

explaining SSB channels and frequencies.
