Dear All

Does anyone have any experience/comments on the suitability of the Icom
IC-751 for use on board both for ham and marine SSB work - I believe
they can easily be opened to transmit outside the ham bands.
Is there any way to use for email by SSB?

Thanks

If you have a General or above ham license, you can use winlink 2000
stations and airmail client for email. If you are not a ham there is
sailmail available for a $250 annual fee. You need a SSB tranceiver and
a Pactor TNC.

Ok, are you ready for the inevitable FLAME, for suggesting that it is
OK to use a NON-TYPE ACCEPTED Radio on Frequencies that Require TYPE
ACCEPTED Radio Equipment? Better get you Asbestos Suit ON, as they are
sure to be coming your way.


Me who knows better than to ask "THAT" Stupid question around
here.....

I believe that most newer ham rigs are now type accepted for
Marine SSB use. I know that the SGC SG-2000 was the only
one for a long time but I'm pretty sure there are others. Not sure
about the IC-751 specifically. Easy enough to find out though.

Thanks for these. I am in the process of obtaining a 'full' ham
licence. I am aware that the set is not type-approved for marine SSB.
Its principle function will be for ham use - but it would seem foolish
not to have the option to access both sets of frequencies should the
need arise.

I was really hoping for information along the lines of, 'its fandoogle
is very sensitive to damp and it will immediately loose its
transmodulatory capability in a marine environment'.

(I am aware of its potential for brain death due to its volatile ROM)

Way to go! Welcome to ham radio. I've been a ham since I was 11 in 1957
and it's been a helluva ride. (Rick is looking through old callbooks as we

I'm not familiar with the "full" ham class

That's one that operates on more frequencies than from 26.9 to 28.9
Mhz....(c;

It usually also means the station is less than 1.5KW, too!

The head ARRL tester, who also gives GROL tests, here, used to be a 10KW CB
operator....They're not all bad, after being "turned"....(c;

I suspect that is because your world view is too America-centric
'Full' is the normal casual designation for the licence level that
allows maritime mobile operation issued by the licencing authority in
my part of the world. And it is a nice general word which, to me,
conveys the meaning.

Actually, that is not the case. The SG-2000 was a commercial
MF/HF Radio that some hams actually got conned into buying.
"Peeair" still can't design HIS way out of a wet paper bag.
I can't think of ONE radio sold into the Ham market, that is
TYPE ACCEPTED for commercial use. The design criteria is
different for commercial radios, and to be TYPE ACCEPTED
they can't have a Continious Tuning VFO type operational
system.
