Ic-m710 Program
I know there's one out there because I had this program on an old computer before I lost all data on my hard drive.
It was a remote control panel that made frequency selections and other adjustments easy by a click of a mouse. Anyone know where I can locate it on the web? John |

John http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/jump2.cgi?ID=3956 By the way, you're not supposed to be using it unless: 1 - You have in your hand a valid General Radio Operator's License or GMDSS Operator's License from the FCC, if you're USA or the equivalent from your home country as this allows operation on ANY frequency and sideband...not just USB on commercial marine channels. 2 - A valid General Class or Extra Class Amateur Radio License, if USA or an HF ham license from your country. That's why the manual says "DEALER ONLY" when it points to that data jack back in the back. Not my fault if you're busted on the wrong sideband off frequency somewhere....The radio's channelized for a reason.... I'm just pointing out the obvious...no flamewar intended... |

I believe the one you want is the Windows M710 control panel program and not the Icom ex1726 DOS version radio software control program. I have the one you want but it's on my computer at work and I'm home for several weeks recovering from surgery. It used to be available from the Sailmail website but I don't see it there anymore. I'll get back to you when I get in to my shop.

I couldn't remember where I got it from and all my searches came up empty. Being "for Free" is why it isn't available anymore. The other program Larry mentioned doesn't even come close to it for what I had seen from the Demo. Wishing you a speedy recovery! John |

John Bzzzt, Wrong again, would you like to try for what is behind Door #3???? Not even a Licensed Operator, can operate a Marine HF Radio that does NOT have a valid Station License posted, legally...... AND a non-licensed user "May" speak into the Microphone of a GMDSS Radio, HOWEVER, that does NOT constitute being the "Operator", or, Operating the Station. The Operator of a GMDSS Radio is REQUIRED to be Licensed as a GMDSS Operator...... |

But, just having a DSC- equipped, they told me was NOT a GMDSS-equipped ship. Here's a little-known, but very important part of Part 80 of the FCC Rules I bet everyone is guilty of violating..... "§ 80.310 Watch required by voluntary vessels. Voluntary vessels not equipped with DSC must maintain a watch on 2182 kHz and on 156.800 MHz (Channel 16) whenever the vessel is underway and the radio is not being used to communicate. Noncommercial vessels, such as recreational boats, may alternatively maintain a watch on 156.450 MHz (Channel 9) in lieu of VHF Channel 16 for call and reply purposes. Voluntary vessels equipped with VHF-DSC equipment must maintain a watch on 2182 kHz and on either 156.525 MHz (Channel 70) or VHF Channel 16 aurally whenever the vessel is underway and the radio is not being used to communicate. Voluntary vessels equipped with MF-HF DSC equipment must have the radio turned on and set to an appropriate DSC distress calling channel or one of the radiotelephone distress channels whenever the vessel is underway and the radio is not being used to communicate. Voluntary vessels equipped with Inmarsat A, B, C, M or Fleet F77 systems must have the unit turned on and set to receive calls whenever the vessel is underway and the radio is not being used to communicate. [73 FR 4485, Jan. 25, 2008] VerDate Aug" When was the last time you guys left your unused SSB radios tuned to 2182Khz and RUNNING with all that damned 2Mhz static when you were not using it? According to the rules, the HF radio must NEVER be turned off while underway, but must be left on 2182Khz or a DSC-Distress channel. -- ================================================== ========== Larry I've decided to worship Thor.

It's a moot point as nobody enforces the rules anymore, especially for voluntary vessels (in the U.S. anyway). And some of the wording of this rule is mis-leading. Such as "Voluntary vessels equipped with VHF- DSC equipment must maintain a watch on 2182 kHz..." How does one maintain a watch on 2182 with just a VHF? Voluntary vessels are not required to have any radio, yet they are saying if I have a VHF with DSC, I must maintain a watch on 2182??? But what if I have an older VHF without DSC. Now I don't have to listen on 2182 unless I also have an HF? Typical gov't gobbledy-gook.

Larry is correct here, in that just because you have a DSC Equipped Radio does NOT mean you are running, OR, complying with GMDSS, and have to Maintain GMDSS Watches, or Operator Licensing. Another thing that needs to be pointed out is, that you MUST have a Vessel Station License, IF your vessel has an MF/HF Marine Radio Fitted, and you need to have a Valid Operators Permit for you type of Station License. The 2182 Khz Watch Requirement would only apply IF you have an MF/HF Radio Fitted. Also be aware that IF your vessel is over 20 Meters in length (65 ft) that you are REQUIRED to comply with the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone Act, that REQUIRES that you either have, Two Operational Vhf Radios, one of which is maintaining a Radio Watch on VHF Channel 13, or a Type Accepted Vhf Radio that complies with the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone Act, and has Two Receivers, one of which is fixed on Vhf Marine Ch 13. Another NOTE here, If you should take another "Object" in Tow, you are also REQUIRED, to comply with the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone Act, NO Matter what your vessel Length is, Period. The USCG is the Enforcement Arm for the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone Act, in the US, and I have heard rumors that SOME Cowboy USCG Types have actually cited Water-ski Boat Operators for not being in compliance, if they **** of the Inspecting Officer, during a Safety Inspection while afloat. -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |

Everyone I know with an installed HF and Ship License is in violation of the HF monitoring 2182 Khz requirement simply because the 2-3 Mhz marine band is nothing but a huge static noise source, virtually unused by anyone in the last 30 years. The M802 has a nice squelch, but it's totally worthless below 6 Mhz as the atmospherics load simply overwhelms it the lower you go in freq even at the maximum squelch setting, rendering it useless. Noone in the boat would ever get any off-watch sleep with 2182 listening for a distress call on a 41' ketch. I really HAVE monitored it, trying to see how much range my triattic capacitor hat has added to the 55' backstay antenna. We installed an insulator on either end of the triattic with a center-connected jumper down to just under the top insulator on the backstay. Range below 7 Mhz and reported signal levels on the 75 meter ham phone band increased markedly! The tuner loves the extra length. Great reports from the Caribbean illegal phone freqs above 4Mhz, too....but they make me nervous about the ship license implications. Those freqs are NOT authorized Marine channels on any chart I find. Every time I leave the boat, I toggle the M802 back to transmitting on the marine channels ONLY to keep my captain outa jail.....(c;] -- ================================================== ========== Larry W4CSC I've decided to worship Thor.

This is the Primary for USCG Kodiak, which is the Primary for the North Pacific. 2182.0 Khz has been useless since the inception of modern SSB Radio's were fitted in the early 70's. It is so bad that USCG CommSta's rarely even have a working receiver on that frequency, because of lack of parts for the radios. Our NOAA HF Wx Stations use 4125.0 Khz to get local Wx Data from the Commercial Freight and Fishing Fleets, twice a day, and then transmit the High Sea's Forecast two hours later, for the North Pacific, by Region. This whole Wx senerio was start 40 years ago by a Fishing Mom (Peggy Dyson) in Kodiak, that transmitted the Wx each evening to her then Hubby (Oscar Dyson) who was a Crabber out in the North Pacific. Her Northern N-550/N/542 1Kw Hf Station WBH-29 was known and heard as the Voice of Kodiak, and used by all the Maritime Stations on daily Basis. She would log ships positions and local Wx Data for each vessel and more than once initiated a Search & Rescue when a ship failed to report in two days in a row. She saved a LOT of Lives. It was a very Sad Day, when Peggy reTired, and the NOAA Wx Stations took over the Job. I still have a recording of her LAST Sched, somewhere... -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |

But, alas, you know how SLOW the big elephant in the room is to react to anything like REALITY..... I was simply amazed when ITU let European hams back on 7.1-7.2 Mhz....25 years after the broadcasters left for all the US ham noise. -- ================================================== ========== Larry I've decided to worship Thor.

Hi,
I write software to control amateur radio equipment. It does not do everything that Ham Radio Deluxe can do, but it does do some unique functions. I have recently added support for ICOM Marine Radios - like the M802. If someone here would like to test it, please email me at Thanks, Howard |
You have your hand an effective general radio operator license or maritime distress safety system business license from the FCC, if you from the United States or equivalent
home, the state allows any frequency and operations side and do not use the USB is the commercial sea lanes. But it is on my computer at work, my home recovering from surgery a few weeks. |
