ICOM-2820H Issue with the UHF
In the November issue of QST, a reviewer commented, there was one minor issue operating the IC-2820H. This was an issue with the UHF in DV not being repeated 100% of the time. While there are a few people who have reported having this issue, it is not a wide spread problem. This is more of an idiosyncrasy of the radio and most operators would never notice if they operate the radio in a more traditional VHF on the left and UHF on the right. As announced further in the article, there is a modification available to the radio.
In addition to the issue listed above, there have been some reports of dropped communications where the radio will not transmit when the PTT is pressed on the microphone. From what we have seen, this is an intermittent issue which not everyone has or will experience. We have a firmware update that fixes this issue as well.
As these are not field installable updates, your IC-2820H’s will need to come back to the ICOM America Service department located in Bellevue, WA. These will be handled on a first come, first served basis.
Upgrade Procedure:
This will be handled as a warranty repair. Send your IC-2820H to the following: (RMA not required)
ICOM America, Inc.
Attn: Service Department (2820H upgrade)
2380 116th Ave NE
Bellevue, WA 98004
