Icom f5021

[Huck]

I have a call into icom but i figured id post here as well.

Anyone know if the 5021 can scan multiple channels and transmit on one set channel?

if so any know how about doing it? The user manual is pretty useless.

Yea you can program it in. But your mic hanger has to be grounded.

Its a setting in the Radio you will need the PC software and cable to do this.. You take a button and make it the scan button... The buttons get programmed via PC...

how about monitoring another channel while remaining on a main channel to transmit on? The Woxuns do this.

Icom radios are finicky, but work very well.... Once in the scan it just scans.. You can setup the scan lots of different ways... Zone or channel the Icom has 16 zones if I remember correctly... The good part is you can inhibit broadcasting on channels your not suppose to broadcast on... So it just scans,,,, about every few seconds it goes through about 16 channels... The Icom has a lot of flexibility... but you need the software etc...

Ok who has the software that can do this for me and get it back before my SDBR run?

Or do I just buy the software and is it easy enough to do myself?

You can buy the software about 50 and the cable about 65....

I can set it up.

You can't monitor two channels at once on the f5021.

You can set scan lists on the 5021 for as many channels are in the frequency bank. And you can set it so when you key the mic it defaults to the priority channel.

Ok, that sounds like what we want to do...

Now I got to see of my TYT9000 will do it.
