Programming the Icom-M802, & the Open Ham/Dial ModeThe Icom M802 has two modes of operation - "Marine" which is the default and"Open".The radio is much easier to program in "Open" mode and thus it isrecommended that the radio be put into "open" mode before programming iscomenced."Open" mode is also advantageous as it also enables the radio to operate onlower side band (SSB), on other HF frequencies such as ham radio and alsomakes for easier manual tuning - ie like your AM / FM radio that you probablyhave in your car.The CLAR/RX key toggles the radio back-and-forth between the Marine Modeand the Open Mode.To determine if the Open Mode on your M802 is enabled press the CLAR/RX keyon the keypad. If enabled, the LCD display will change, displaying frequencyinformation with a cursor beneath the rightmost digit. If the display does notchange or there's no cursor beneath the displayed frequency, the Open Mode isnot enabled.Here's how to put the radio into the Open Mode and set frequencies:Step Instructions Dial Display Change1.Put theradio intothe OPENmode.With the radio turned off holddown the 2, mode, and TX keysat the same time, and turn theradio on.Normal dial display.
