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?

http://www.icomamerica.com/en/downlo...x?Document=103

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....

ICOM use to have an excellent SSB guide on their web site, but I can
no longer find it. I was however able to find a copy he
http://www.pearson40.org/single_sideband.htm

If you look at Chapter 16, it gives an overview of channels. However,
this site is missing the original appendix which listed channels and
frequencies. I have attached that .pdf file here.

Great radio. I have the triattic insulated on both ends near the two
masts and a stainless cable connecting it to the top of the backstay
antenna from its center, forming a capacitor hat for the lower freqs.

I worked Perth, Australia on 20 meter ham band. That should be far
enough from a boat...

NOTE - Get rid of the crap control cable plug on the tuner end of the
control cable! How stupid. Open the tuner and take out the pigtail thru
the stuffing tube in the tuner box. After cutting off the stupid little
plug from the cable, pull the cable thru the stuffing tube and solder the
control wires to the same rings the pigtail was soldered to. The cable
and pigtail use the same color code, so note the colors from the pigtail
leads before cutting them out so you'll have the colors easily. How
stupid to put an OPEN PLUG outside in the weather. Make sure the gasket
is in place before screwing the cover back down tightly. Ours is outside
and doesn't leak a drop!
