Hi Chris or anyone who can advise. I have an iCom IC-400Pro. Supposed to be 80 channel but only has 40 available. Is there some setting to activate 80 channels? Also are there any workshops who can check/recommend a better antenna for improved/best range? I'd prefer one for mountains so guessing 3dB?
Yep, lower DB for hilly terrain. And get it up higher than anything else. ie: on an independent ground plane base, on the roof/roof rack. Not just the tip, the aerial length. I think the Icom 400s have to be done by cable and software, and they all can be done but dont quote me on that. A decent radio tech shop should have no issue doing it. Depends where you are... Be a little patient, someone will have done it.
Thanks Gary I'm in Melbourne S-E suburb (Bayside area). Will see if I can find a radio tech shop. ARB or other 4x4 shop might be able to recommend someone I guess.
someone here will know, they just dont log in daily. Some are on the road, others are lazy, or only drop by when their better friends are busy Being down here in the sales section, might be better to ask for recommendations for radio tech near you, in another section.
