Icom IC-M200

Hi

Further to a recent post, I went ahead and purchased an Icom. Went for the entry level unit IC-M200.

Installed it this morning and when I went to test it a while ago, I found that I couldn't select Hi power on channel 77. The manual does say that some channels cant select Hi. This would be a bit of a problem as Ocean Reef sea rescue use this channel

Any advice will be most welcome

Thanks

Check that your unit is set for INTERNATIONAL config.

From the ICom help line.....I seem to recall it costs $1 but they are a wealth of info and if there is a fix they will know of it

 Thanks for that. Changed to International channel and succesfully managed to communicate with Ocean Reef sea rescue on the Hi setting (from Dianella so happy with that)
