Modifying Icom IC-M800
What do you mean by a "full ham license"? To use most HF
frequencies a General class license is required. An Extra class give you access to all ham frequencies but is really not necessary. And yes, both ends need a license.

Any pointers to instructions ? Thanks Simon We have the M-802 on Lionheart. To open its transmit up to 2-30 Mhz transmit, simply hold down MODE and TX buttons together while pressing the 2 button. This toggles the radio between marine channels only and wide open frequency transmit. To keep my captain from being arrested, when I leave the boat, I toggle it back to marine-channels-only transmit...(c; 73, Larry W4CSC/MM Thanks for this, does that mean I can assume the M800 is the same as your 802 ? It would be great if it was 'toggleable' becuase like you we will have a mix of people with different qualifications using the vessel and I absolutely must ensure that we stay legal. Although it seems to me that as a means of routine shore contact, a full ham licence at both ends is virtually essential - is that correct ? Thanks Simon |

The UK has a new 3-tier licence system, only the top tier - the 'advanced' license - allows transmission on all amateur freqs with 400W and is internationally acceptable. |

We also have a new 3-tier system. The top 2 allow use of the HF
bands at 2000W. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista "Steve" wrote in message om... "Doug Dotson" wrote in message ... What do you mean by a "full ham license"?
