Re: [BVARC] Programming Icom 2730

2021-08-11 Thread Kori Rahman via BVARC

I purchased this cheap little cable last year.
"bestkong USB Programming Cable for Icom IC-207H IC-208H IC-2100H IC-2800
IC-F3001 IC-F3021 IC-F3023 IC-F3011 F3022 OPC-478 OPC-478U"
~$22 on amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LBH5R9N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8=1

Works just fine with my IC-2730 and Chirp (you can find that here
), takes about a
minute or two to program my 500+ channels (Including GMRS, FRS and Marine
freq). I wouldn't install whatever software comes with the cable though.
Your computer should recognize it as a serial device and then you just pull
it up in Chirp. Chirp has a nice feature where you can pull up all the
local repeaters by distance from your location, also other
standard frequencies are listed in there. I have attached my own Chirp file
if you want to use it. Channel 0 is 146.94, 1-22 are GMRS/FRS, the rest are
roughly in numerical order, Marine bands at the end (475 and beyond). I
didn't include the NOAA stations because the IC-2730 has those as a
built-in feature. I have really enjoyed the IC-2730 (so much so I have 2),
I hope this helps.

2021-08-11 Thread Chris Heustis via BVARC

Randy,

Looks like there are several guys with the same radio - I am one of them.
I program mine using a home brew cable and the Icom software.  It is pretty
easy to use once you get the quirks figured out.  I can program on the fly,
but have to reference a user's manual.  Bubba's cheat sheet is definitely
useful.  Maybe all of us can pool our resources and help.  With Zoom, we
can share screens, etc.
