IC-2800

[k6dgw]

Msg off to ICOM Tech Support.  We'll see how this compares to Elecraft
support and service.  I really need to reorganize the memories on the
2800, the UI through the control head is marginally OK when just adding
a new one, it's a non-starter for a reorg.  The programming SW won't run
on 64-bit Windoze.  I finally got a virtual machine running using
Virtual Box, installed an old version of XP, and voila!  the ICOM
software runs.  Now I find I can't get the radio into clone mode.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete for an IC2800 is mic UP button and 4th button down on
the left side of the controller while powering it up.  Done it at least
15 times, and it's still just a radio, no comm out the port.

The only thing non-standard is an HM-133V mic which replaced the
original that failed a number of years ago.  Any ideas welcome.  If
Elecraft were to make a 2m/70cm mobile radio with a remote control head
and an LCD TV for a display screen, I'd be the first to order. :-)

i bought an " icom"  replacement mic for 9.99 shipped from china on ebay.....
even said icom on the mic...

worked great, but after two weeks the jacket on the mic started to
fall apart...
literally falling off the wire....  mic stil works...with a tt pad....

i had thought the order would be worth the cable assembly oops....
had it backwards...

have you tried RT systems...  Will software for a IC-2820 work with the
2800 ??
see

I am using their software on a W7 64 bit machine and they update.
