I have an Icom IC821H which is running flawlessly with the exception of the SUB light flashing intermittently while in SAT Mode ! It doesn't seem to affect the operation however it is annoying to see it continuously blinking Sub Sub Sub etc. I have the squelch set the highest and the audio set the lowest on the SUB band. I can shut off the SUB band completely but that doesn't help when I want to be in Full Duplex mode for the sats.
Does anyone else owning an ICOM IC821H have this problem ? I would be interested to find out iof there is a cure for it or if this is just SOP for this radio ! There is nothing in the manual pertaining to this problem. Thanks JACK KC7MG
I can't speak for the IC821, but the behavior you describe is perfectly normal for the IC-910H and IC-9100. Every time that SATPC32 updates the uplink frequency it has to momentarily change to the SUB band to do so. That's what the blink is, it is SATPC32 doing its job. If you notice the
