Subject: [ICOM_ID800H] Beep on High Power - ID800H

When I run my IC800H on high power, I get 3 shorts beeps. This does
not happen on Med or Low power settings. I have checked my SWR and it
is 1.2:1. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hank, K9LZJ

Does anyone know of a downloadable version of the service manual or general alignment power adjustment info please?

It was installed since I use the same laptop to program both the ID800
and the ID-1 I have.

Thanks!

Alan,

My initial reaction was the mount itself. I tested it by using another
radio, this time a Kenwood D7 on the same antenna I mounted on the NMO
  and it worked fine. In fact I borrowed another ID800 from a buddy and
it works fine as well.

Definitely a radio issue. Thanks for the input.

For only $625.00 dollars you get a like new Icom IC-91AD
FM / DSTAR dual band portable radio with Speaker Microphone
and DC Power cable.  The original box, charger, and packaging
are included.
Giga Parts has the IC-91AD listed at $449.00 and the
CP-12 Power Cable goes for $36.00 plus the
HMN-131 Speaker Microphone, a $32.00 value.


Then there is a Mirage BD-35, dual band portable rf amplifier - a
$169.95 value.
This power house delivers 45 Watts on 2 Meters and 35 Watt on 70 CM.

There is more.  This offer includes the control software and a
USB to Serial port adapter with driver software, plus an SMA to BNC
adaptor and
2, NMO mount antennas, one for 2 meters and one for 70 CM.

This is a package deal worth well over $800 for only $625.00.

I hate to sacrifice this radio, but books and tuition have to come
first.

Before you zoom in on the 800H, make sure that the NMO is not the
issue!

NMO's are often intolerant of the mounting arrangement. The thickness
of material you mount them on, or the alignment of the stepped
section is critical. Both can prevent the spring loaded contact in
the NMO base from touching.

This is easily checked with a multimeter when the NMO base is mounted
but no antenna on it.

The other item with NMOs is to make sure that they have a good
metallic connection. I don't know what you have it mounted to, but a
car roof can be insulated on the inside by a thick coating and on the
outside by paint. Often the NMOs don't work because at least one of
these insulations have not been scratched away and removed.

Well aside from programming issues something else happened. I
installed a new NMO for my 2/440 antenna and when I tested it on the
ID800 nothing. Could not bring up any repeaters close by and could not
hear well at all.) I put a D7 HT on the antenna and it worked fine and
SWR tested fine. Put the antenna back on the ID800 and once again
nothing. No measured output not much receive.

I took the bottom off and found 2 pinkish puddy/eraser type things
over the area where the antenna jack is. I assume this is for making
sure stuff does not touch the case? I also found a resistor sticking
up and leaning near, not sure if touching but I would venture its a
strong possibility it was, the antenna jack. (Who designs a rig that
way?) Closed the case back up and again crap for receive and transmit.

I had been having issues with the transmit cutting out hence the
expediting of NMO installations for the antennas on the roof. I
figured that would improve things with a solid mount and a solid
ground. Not make things worse. I also thought it was an overheating
issue so set the fan to continuously on. That did not seem to help.

Any thoughts?

  Dan make sure that you install the driver first before trying to use the
cable. We have 5 setups here and they are all working like a champ.

I wish there was a computer wizard right handy - I am not.  I believe
that you can leave the cloning software alone.  It is the driver for the
USB/COM adaptor that is part of the cloning cable that needs to be
removed and re-installed.  This will be in the control panel under
com/lpt ports.  Sometimes it picks a weird port # like 14 or so, and you
may just  have to change that to com 1 or com 2 to fit the cloning
software and may not have to remove and reinstall.  I hope this is good
info - maybe some far more knowledgeable can give a definite answer.  If
it's any consolation I spent 4 or 5 hours trying to use the control head
extension cable on an ID-1 in place of an ethernet cable - it would send
data but not receive - dumb on my part.  73, Steve NU5D

I gave up for tonight. Even with an uninstall and reinstall of the
programming software I cannot get the Found New Hardware to appear so
will have to find someone local to help sort that out. See what I have
set wrong.

I have programming software and cables for Yaesu and Kenwood stuff and
frankly they are far superior to anything I have used on any of the
Icom rigs I have. It's almost as if it'd be better doing it by hand
(except programming the DStar bit would take forever.)

Dan I sure hate that you are having such trouble.  I have an ancient
cloning cable used for commercial Icom stuff that uses a com port.  I
bought an aftermarket USB to COM adaptor and installed it.  I did have
to go into the control panel and set the port #.  Beyond that I can
consistently read and write the ID800 and IC91 - I did set the ID800 to
fast on the r/w speed.  The same cable works on my 2720 and w32.  I have
3 tails coming out of the db9 - to fit different radios.

The computer is a Dell Inspiron 1505 I think - laptop job.  I use the
same cable w/o adaptor on my home XP and a couple of 98SE machines -
maybe you have a bad driver, or there may be a newer driver ?  Best

I am going to rant.

I like the ID800. Think it is a decent radio.

I cannot stand the programming software and its unwillingness to work
consistently. I am trying to update the radio and I figure, logically,
I will use the CS-D800 with OPC-478UC. I cannot get the computer to
recognize the cloning cable again. Everytime I try and use that cable
I have problems and not I cannot even undo the issue even after
uninstalling the cable.

I hope someone makes an after market product that works so I can buy
it. This is just ridiculous.

Ok sorry rant over but for those who have yet to buy the software and
cable...don't bother.

Group,

I have for sale a IC-91AD with original box. The radio is in excellent
to new condition. I also have the DC power cable and the software
control with usb to serial cable. I also have the BD-35 dualband
amplifier. I have a speaker microphone and the
radio is Mars modded for tx outside hambands both on UHF & VHF.I also
have a SMA to BNC adapter and 1/4 wave antennas for 2 meter and 440
both with the NMO style mount. For all of this gear I am asking $625
dollars. That is more than reasonable for what all is included in this
offer. You can contact me via yahoo messenger and my yahoo id is KF9L.
My email is rmeredith8388@.... The radio is preprogrammed with
a numerous amount of frequencies that included the marine maritime
frequencies, vhf & uhf business frequencies as well as the cb
frequencies and both am & fm broadcast frequencies.

Today, July 25, 2007 the ID-800H did arrive as ordered and in very

this matter.  73, Steve NU5D

I mentioned in a earlier post when I had the fan run intermittently in
setup that the radio got pretty hot.  When the fan is set to run
continuously the radio is much cooler.
