RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a
vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may
result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than
16 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse
polarity. This will damage the transceiver.
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse
holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver
may be damaged.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The
transceiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may
result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on the
rear panel.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power is ON
and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C or above +60°C.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID setting the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may be
damaged.

BASIC OPERATION
■ Selecting output power
■ Operating mode selection
The transceiver has 3 output power levels to suit your operating requirements. Low output powers during short-distance
communications may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations and will reduce current consumption.
Operating modes are determined by the modulation of the
radio signals. The transceiver has total 5 operating modes
(FM, FM-N, AM, AM-N and DV modes). The mode selection is
stored independently for each band and memory channel.
➥ Push [LOW•PRIO] several times to select the output
power.

BASIC OPERATION
■ Single band operation
D Single band/Dualwatch operation
D Diversity operation
Dualwatch operation monitors two frequencies simultaneously. The IC-2820H has two independent receiver circuits:
left band, and right band (available frequencies, operating mode
and functions are different depending on bands).
Single band operation is useful when only one frequency is
being watched.
The diversity receiving compares the receiving signal strength
from two different antennas, ANT1 and ANT2, and automatically selects the strongest signal. This feature is useful when
you are listening in a moving vehicle or the transmitting station itself is moving. Diversity receiving is available in
127 MHz, 136 MHz, 146 MHz, 375 MHz, 440 MHz and
500 MHz bands only.

REPEATER OPERATION
■ General
• Repeater operation flow chart
Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your
radio because a repeater has much higher output power than
the typical transceiver.
Step 1:
Set the desired band to operate the repeater.
Normally, a repeater has indipendent frequencies for each receiver and transmitter.
A subaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater
Step 2:
Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
Reference amateur radio hand books and local ham magazines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/output frequencies and locations.
Repeater example;
Receives the 444.540 MHz signal
and the detected audio signals are
transmitted on 449.540 MHz simultaneously.
Step 3:
Set the duplex (shifting) direction (– duplex or +duplex).
- Set the offset frequency (shifting value), if required.
Step 4:
Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.
- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.
• The IC-2820H USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the
steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, depending on the setting.
• Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel.
Station A:
Tx: 444.540 MHz
Rx: 449.540 MHz

displayed when all call sign memory is programmed.)
The edited call sign can be over-written when the setting of
the EDIT RECORD is set to OFF or SELECT. (p. 95)
However, you must manually over-write a programmed call

■ About D-STAR system
In the D-STAR system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz band
backbone and internet network (gateway connection) capabilities are available. This system provides you to with much
wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.
Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through
the internet— gateway connection capability.

For current repeater operation, stations that are communicating must both be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a
10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even
though they are in different repeater operating areas.
440 MHz
Station D
For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communication like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz
digital voice!
In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that of linked repeaters via
a 10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.

In such a case, both transceivers automatically return to the

For 1200 bps operation—
• Disconnect the microphone plug from the microphone
connector during data transmission, otherwise the data
signal and voice signal are simultaneously transmitted.
For 9600 bps operation—
• When the transceiver is set for 9600 bps data transmission in set mode, the microphone signal is automatically
cut. Therefore, it is not necessary to disconnect the microphone plug from the connector in this case.
• When pushing [PTT] during data transmission, data transmission is interrupted and voice signals have priority.

• When NOT using a deviation meter:
A receiver or transceiver is needed to monitor the transmission—compare the received audio output level when
receiving a TNC modulated signal with high level voice
signals using the microphone. Then adjust the TNC modulated signal to a lower level than the voice modulated
signal.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
D 9600 bps high speed packet operation
• Read the instructions supplied with your TNC carefully
before attempting packet operation with the transceiver.
• Pin t AF OUT is for 1200 bps operation only. This pin
cannot be used for 9600 bps operation.
• Over modulation may degrade signal quality. If you find
that many transmissions are failing, re-adjust the modulation level.
The transceiver supports 2 modes of 9600 bps packet operation: G3RUH and GMSK.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
• When using the PTT P terminal for packet operation, no
voice signals are transmitted from the microphone.
• When pushing [PTT] during data transmission, data
transmission is interrupted and the voice signal takes priority.
• Read the instructions supplied with your TNC carefully
before attempting packet operation with the transceiver.
• Pin r DATA OUT is for 9600 bps operation only. This pin
cannot be used for 1200 bps operation.
14
D Adjusting the transmit signal output from
the TNC
When setting data transmission speed to 9600 bps, the data
signal coming from the TNC is applied exclusively to the internal limiter circuitry to automatically maintain band width.
NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over 0.6 V p-p, otherwise the transceiver will not be able to maintain the band
width and may possibly interfere with other stations.
1. When using a level meter or synchroscope, adjust the
TX audio output level (DATA IN level) from the TNC as
follows.
0.4 V p-p (0.2 V rms)
0.2 V p-p–0.5 V p-p (0.1–0.25 V rms)
: recommended level
: acceptable level
2. When NOT using a measuring device.
q Connect the transceiver to a TNC.
w Enter a test mode (“CAL”, etc.) on the TNC, then transmit some test data.
e When the transceiver fails to transmit the test data or
transmits sporadically (TX indicator doesn’t appear or
flashes):
- Decrease the TNC output level until the transmit indicator lights continuously.
When transmission is not successful even though the
TX indicator lights continuously:
- Increase the TNC output level.
