Is there a Firmware Update for an Icom IC-2820? How can you tell which version you have? Has Icom tried to fix anything? Thanks.....

So, I guess that the extra $39.98 is a tip.......:laugh:.... Thanks, but I thought that it was only $.02 worth.......:laugh:

Here you go..... On a programmer, when you choose a "Higher Octane," the programmer will download/provide a different Fuel MAP and Timing MAP. The different MAPS will require the different octane levels. But most engine management systems will retard the timing if "Detonation" is detected...

Partially correct...... Higher compression does like more octane, but your timing statement is going in the wrong direction. It supposed to be Advanced, instead of Retarded. Ignition timing is (BTC) Before Top Dead Center. "Free HP" comes from advancing that BTC number. It's an old...

Ok, here's another 2820 Question, that I can't find any answers on. I even called Icom Customer support, and the Tech was worthless. He complained that I was putting him out of his way, by having the longest duration call that he had all day. And this was when he wasn't attempting to do the...

I might have to put aside my pride, and purchase it, too. I have heard a number of other users that have the same, "easier" reasoning. I might have to go that route, but I doubt that I will remember how to keep them all straight. I already have 3 memory slots set up to contact my "D-Star...

Thanks.... This is the "Meat" that I am looking for. I still don't have 100% comprehension, but hopefully it will come. Some of what you said, is my motivation for asking about a 2820 software hack. Or even something to make the operation easier. (I am guessing that is what the Icom ID-31A...

Thanks for all of the links. I will look at them and hopefully get going.

I forgot to add that I have the Icom cable and software with a serial-usb adapter.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for my late reply..... I have this set up to notify me, now.

Following along...

Thanks for sharing the info....... It sounds like you are familiar with software. Has anyone thought about Hacking the software that's in the 2820 and changing the location or submenu structure? If that were different, maybe a lot of the frustration would go away. Maybe this is motivation for...

Thanks for the reply.... I have used their stuff (RT Systems) with other radios. They lost me as a customer, when they decided to put "chips" in their cables. (I will never purchase from RT Systems, again) I was told their reasoning was to make the cable limited to only "Their Language."...

Hello all... I purchased an Icom 2820 about 9 months, ago. And so far, I am very frustrated with it. The menu steps/ stepping are not "intuitive" with my thinking style. Neither is the keypad Microphone. Not only that, but the interaction (or LACK there-of) of programing software is...

I have read, somewhere else, that people are installing a different fan. According to what they said, (and I can't remember where it was), the fan in the 2820 is a common size and they replaced it with one from a laptop, or something else. That sounded like a better idea, concerning my...

I wish that I could help, but I can't. I hope that you get some replies. I wouldn't expect it, though.

My first Optima was great, it was used when I got it, and lasted another 7 years. I have bought two others (one Red and one Yellow) and they haven't lasted 2 years 11 months and 29 days. The warranty has changed, too. It used to be longer than 3 years. A traditional lead acid, not only is...

I posted this on another Forum, and wanted to put it here, too. Hopefully I have it in the correct area. I have recently purchased a D-Star capable radio. I bought it, versus a regular radio because of a friend telling me "How great D-Star is." After asking him a number of questions...

I took the cover off and figured it out. (Thanks for all of the replies) The Picture, from the OP, must be a European Version. Mine is an USA model and there were only #5, 6, 7, on both sides/columns. I removed number #5 & 6. (By the way, they are small!!!!) I used a pocket knife...

Thanks Moleculo! That is, kind-of, how I understood it, too. I know that I could remove them, but I am a little gun-$hy, and don't want to pay to put some back. After reading the print, it sounds like more were removed, than what the picture dictates. I have found this mod listed on...
