Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the IC-M800 to operate on Ham freqs ?

These are good bomb proof radios and all though not ideal for ham
operation work very well though you will get the odd snipe about being
off frequency


Hope this helps

Thanks that's very helpful, but prompts another question....

I also have responsibility for a boat with an M700, it is annoying that
it cannot receive down to 518KHz for Navtex. It had not ocured to me
that this could be easily 'fixed' do you know of a way to allow that ??

Thanks

Steve

also gave me info on modifying other rigs so maybe they could give
this...I shall see.
