Programming the Icom-M802, & the Open Ham/Dial Mode

The Icom M802 has two modes of operation - "Marine" which is the default and

"Open".

The radio is much easier to program in "Open" mode and thus it is

recommended that the radio be put into "open" mode before programming is

comenced.

"Open" mode is also advantageous as it also enables the radio to operate on

lower side band (SSB), on other HF frequencies such as ham radio and also

makes for easier manual tuning - ie like your AM / FM radio that you probably

have in your car.

The CLAR/RX key toggles the radio back-and-forth between the

Marine Mode

and the

Open Mode.

To determine if the

Open Mode

on your M802 is enabled press the CLAR/RX key

on the keypad. If enabled, the LCD display will change, displaying frequency

information with a cursor beneath the rightmost digit. If the display does not

change or there's no cursor beneath the displayed frequency, the

Open Mode

is

not enabled.

Here's how to put the radio into the Open Mode and set frequencies:
