Can anyone advise how I might obtain a Channel Guide for this radio?
ICOM's site does not have it for downloading. Thanks. Ned



Do you mean what marine channels does it support?

Look on Acrobat's page 4 of the manual downloaded from here. The channels
and groups it comes preprogrammed with are on that page to answer your
question.

But, alas, you can add any frequency (simplex) or frequency pair (duplex)
you like by following the directions in the manual.

To open up the transmitter so it will transmit on ANY frequency from 2-30
Mhz, simply hold down the MODE and TX buttons with the M800 powered off,
then, while holding these buttons down, turn it on and it will toggle into
full width transmit mode. To put it back into marine channels ONLY just
repeat the procedure. I use it for ham radio when I'm aboard (W4CSC) but
always turn full transmit off again before leaving the boat so my captain
doesn't end up in trouble calling out on a BBC channel I've also programmed
into user memories for him to listen to BBC back home....
