Programming Memory Channels

Programming frequencies into the ICOM V8000 isn’t that bad at all. Seriously. But, after a few months or years, one tends to forget the exact procedure. Then it’s time to scramble for the owner’s manual. Okay, can’t find the manual…

USING FRONT OF RADIO

1. Setting a frequency
In VFO mode, set the desired operating frequency with repeater, tone and tuning steps, etc. In case you forgot how to hit VFO mode, it’s the second or middle button on the left column, the V/MHz Scan button.

2. Setting The Tone
Still in VFO mode. Okay before you select a channel, you may need to set the tone if the repeater requires a tone. To set the tone, press set on the bottom left corner of the front. Turn the VFO dial until you find the tone your looking for. Then you will push the tone button on the top left of the front. Make sure you have the right setting; it should look like a musical note. If everything appears to be okay, you are ready to program the frequency.

3. Selecting a memory channel
Momentarily push [MW (S.MW)], then rotate the tuning dial to select the desired memory channel. (This MW button is the bottom button on the right.)
* “M” indicator and memory channel number blink

4. Writing a memory channel
Push and hold [MW (S.MW)] for 1 second to program.
* 3 beeps sound
* Memory channel number automatically increases when continuing to push [MW (S.MW)] after programming.
