Is my icom ic-f3gs-2 narrowband compatile - ICOM Informatique Icom Radio IC-F3, IC-F4, IC-T2A Compatible Battery

Even saying ICOM would help people to help you. That radio requires software and a programming cable adapter. It is new enough to do Narrow band. Best bet is to find an ICOM dealer to program it for you. That way, it will be on legal frequencies. Your unit is VHF, so it cannot talk to GMRS over the counter radios. It is a decent radio, we sold them and the battery life was good. Ask more if you want to know more.

Try looking up the user manual at www.mods.dk they have many manuals. Otherwise you may be able to get the manual from www.icom.com.

No, it cannot be "narrowbanded".

I use the ICOM OPC-478 cable along with the ICOM F3GS software. In order to use the OPC-478 cable with WINDOWS 7, it will be necessary to go to the site

www.icomamerica.com

choose support (not option 1) and look for the updated driver package for WINDOWS 7. When that has been downloaded and installed, it will be necessary to go into that part of the control device manager and change the port to "COM2".

I am now able to program both my IC-F3GS and the IC-F4GS.

Try contacting ICOM AMERICA

www.icomamerica.com or look on eBay.

.

Using the ICOM F3GS program, go to COMMON 1 and set the INACTIVE TIMER to something other than what it currently is.

Might work...
