To store a fcy press BAND to go to your fcy range ie 118.000 airband
dial your fcy ie 127.900(shanwick ocean area control) press and hold V/M for 1 sec, small numbers now blink, dial the memory slot you wish to store into ie 001 then press V/M again for 1sec and this will store 127.900 into mem slot 001. make a list:-
mem number / fcy / mode(am - fm) / station / bank
to prog a fcy into a "bank", press V/M for 1sec - blinking mem numbers - dial mem number ie 001(127.900) press MODE - "bank" flashes past-
-- -- -- -- 001 shows, turn dial to show A-00 this is the first "bank", pressing BAND scrolls through all the alpha "banks" - choose one.. ie A-00 (for airband..) press V/M this puts mem 001 into "bank" A mem slot 00, there are 100 slots in each letter 00 to 99. do this to any fcy you want to scan as a group.
to scan a bank press V/M - small numbers appear -
press BAND to scroll through any "banks" you have created ie A B C D etc (only banks with fcys in will display), press MODE -"bank"- press MODE again and you will start scanning just that "bank" of mem slots.
MODE starts and stops the scan... each letter holds 100 mem slots.. happy scanning!!!

Help!i have just purchased an i-com R5 the manual keeps referring to the VFO,i know what it means but how do i know when the scanner is actually in the vfo mode??? deranged of swansea!!!

VFO stands for Variable Frequency Oscillator. This is the function that allows you to enter frequencies. It just means you are not in memory channel mode. You can get more info at the factory web sight and download the instruction manual for free.

I have been using the IC-R5 for a few years now with no problems except when using it during the summer. If the weather is hot, after being switched on for a period of time the scanner just starts to bleap...

The occilator that "locks" the VFO (like a clock signal) is gong out of range. The higher temps are affecting the temprature controlled occilator. I would send the unit to ICOM for repair.

I have an Icom IC-R5 hand held reciever that needs to be programmed. How do I program this reciever? Please Help, Thank You in advance.

It is a bit long winded but, if you are familiar with how to store frequencies into memory numbers, it is almost the same for all the alpha numeric banks, then the rest of the programming is very similar to this method with the additions of tone, code, duplex up or down for each individual frequency etc. My advice is to write your own notes on a large sheet of paper and develop a chart with all your fcys in list order and where you have put them in banks, add how you got there and only refere to the manual if you get really stuck (the manual tends to be too vague and complicated to follow). if your scanner is empty at the moment, this is your best opportunity to learn the hard but best way to programme this lovely beast! ps the scanner is very good once you have mastered it...

If you where going to Buy one radio which one would you Buy?

I am a marine electronics technician with 28 years experience. I have also been a licensed amateur radio operator for the past 12 years. Based on my professional experience with both brands (Icom and Yaesu), I have to advise you to go with one of the Icom units. The Yaesu is a good radio, but Icom's customer support is far superior. I have had no problems dealing with their service department over the years, something I can't say about Yaesu.

Hope this helps.

Programming issues with Icom F21

What you have is a programming issue. The radios need to be "cloned" so they will all work together. You can buy the software on line for about $65.00 then you can change frequencies when ever you want.

It's a frequency error. It can be corrected, just give me some time, I need to figure something out first. It might take me a day or two.

WHY CANT I GET AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL OR AIRCRAFT ON MY IC-R5

The only thing you can do about this problem is to buy a Uniden product.However the problem about this is that it does not get all frequencies unlike this model.
