ContestConsole for ICOM
Thank you for buying the ContestConsole for your ICOM radio. It’s a product that lots of
people have asked us for! The ContestConsole gives you instant push-button access to
various functions on your radio. Handy for the occasional contester but also for getting the
most out of your radio in general use! The functions that the ContestConsole will provide
depend on what is supported by your radio. Our handy
will help you.
Operation
Using the ContestConsole is very easy! Plug the flying lead of the ContestConsole into the
microphone socket on your radio and plug your normal microphone into the socket on the
rear of the unit.
Memories M1-M2-M3-M4
The ContestConsole allows direct access to four of your pre-programmed message
memories. Your transceiver will need to be set up to recognise an external keypad. The
setting-up process will be covered in the manual for your radio (look for instructions on the
use of an
external keypad
).
IC-7300 Operation (from
)
To use the external keypad, turn ON the following items in the CONNECTORS set screen.
(p. 12-8)
MENU » SET > Connectors > External Keypad
• VOICE: ON (enables Voice keyer - using this requires an SD card to be installed into the
radio)
• KEYER: ON (enables the CW memory keyer)
• RTTY: ON (enables the RTTY message memories)
Once this is done you will be able to access the various message memories directly from the
keypad without needing to select them on the radio screen. This direct access allows you to
see and use the full capabilities of the screen on the radio without having part of it cluttered
up with memory buttons.
Holding the button down will cause a memory to be repeated - see the manual of your radio
for details..
