Thanks Jim for the successful workaround. I also had go back in and set MR A, B channels manually, then upload to HT again. Oddly, VFO A, B were retained, but not MR.
But again, this only affects the latest batch of GT3-TP units I just bought. The previous 30 or so I've programmed with CHIRP are unaffected by this anomaly. Thanks also for the PTT-IS tip. I didn't know that. I didn't mean to start a thread here on the exploding ICOM HTs. I reckon that's been discussed plenty in RadioReference etc. Reno K7CRL On Mon, Oct 14, 2024 at 3:28 PM Ken Hansen via Users <[email protected]> wrote: > > Meant to add this, the IC-V82 also has a pager function (pocket beep), see > page 36 for more info: > > https://lodiarc.org/members/wa6osx/IC-V82_U82_manual.pdf > > That would seem the perfect remote detonation method... > > Ken > > > On Oct 14, 2024, at 15:20, Ken Hansen <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > The exploding Icoms were a long-discontinued FM (analog) HT that had > > several unique features, like, you could add a d-Star board to or a DTMF > > decoder to it: > > > > https://www.passion-radio.fr/fiches/icom/u82/u82-angl.pdf > > > > https://m.jpost.com/middle-east/article-820735 > > > > Analog radios don't identify themselves with each transmission, the more > > likely cause of the explosion was a signal sent to all radios that > > activated the DTMF decoder in each radio. > > > > I've not dug too deep into this story, but an in-band signal, broadcast > > across the region thru linked repeaters, seems the most likely method. > > > > Ken > > > >>> On Oct 14, 2024, at 14:59, Ceferino Lamb via Users > >>> <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> > >> I am programming some ICOM HTs for a friend and leaned that they > >> transmit their unique ID with every trx.
