PROGRAMMING TX AND RX FREQUENCIES ON A CHANNEL
The easiest case is programming the same frequency in transmission and in reception. This
way of programming a handset is called « SIMPLEX » mode.
If your transmission frequency TX is different from your reception frequency RX, you will
have to follow the instructions carefully to introduce them in the correct place in the
programming sequence.
For example, we will program a frequency of 152.540 MHz on channel 8, in simplex
mode, meaning the TX and RX frequencies are the same.

PROGRAMMING CTCSS CODES IN TX AND RX ON A CHANNEL
The CTCSS function allows to « close down » a radio network so as not to be disturbed by
a radio station which is foreign to the network.
Enabled on a repeater, the CTCSS function will filter the calls and will only let those
signals through which are accompanied by the CTCSS of the repeater.
Practically, the CTCSS tone is a sub audible tone and is selected among a list of 50
standard values.
The CTCSS code is enabled or disabled for each channel BUT
receiving station, on top of using the same TX and RX frequencies, must share the same
CTCSS in order to be able to communicate.

PROGRAMMING VIA SOFTWARE
Using the ICOM programming software allows you to program all the functions explained
above and easier than if you have to do it manually.
The software also allows to program some functions not available to manual programming.
Via the software, it is possible to choose a particular function from a list of choices for
each button, except the ON/OFF Switch and the Keypad.
Texts, frequencies of channels, CTCSS codes, output power and many other parameters
will be configured on the computer screen and can be saved as a file.
This software works with DOS and requires a RS 232 serial port
THE SOTWARE
All software versions are started with the same file: ICC.EXE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ON A PC
1. create a directory in DOS with the command md ICOM and then type : cd ICOM
2. copy the content of the diskette in this new directory with command : copy A : *.*
CONNECT HANDSET TO THE PC
1. Check that the transceiver is turned off.
2. the connection is made between the serial port and the handset socket via the
programming cable. Reference OPC-427.

CLONING TWO TRANSCEIVERS
CLONING allows the transfer of certain data from one transceiver to another without the
use of a PC
To clone two transceivers, you need a cloning cable, Ref. IC-OPC444.
All the channel linked data are transferred.
In the explanations that follow, the source transceiver is called the « MASTER » and the
one receiving the data is called the « SLAVE »
ATTENTION
1. Make sure the transceiver battery packs are charged.
2. Cloning is only possible between transceivers of the same type and
version.
3. When you remove the battery pack from the transceiver, you will see
a round black sticker indicating the handset version. #2 , # 52,
#54.
4. For version #54, there are in fact two sub versions. How can you
distinguish them?
Press on the red button while turning the transceiver on.
- If you see information scrolling on the display, it is the new version.
- Otherwise, it is the old version.
THE OLD AND NEW VERSIONS CANNOT BE CLONED TOGETHER.
5. A « SLAVE » transceiver which has been cloned with a « MASTER » can
