Remote Control for Your ICOM Transceiver

As Seen In the February, 2003 Issue of QST Magazine!
Your TV has a remote control. Your cable or satellite box has a remote. So does your DVD player, CD changer, VCR, and audio system. So why doesn't your transceiver have a remote? Well, now it can. This interface connects to any late model ICOM receiver or transceiver and allows you to tune the frequency, adjust the volume (including mute) and go directly to any memory in the radio. In addition, it supports "smart" direct frequency entry even for ICOM radios that have no direct frequency entry keypad (like the IC706). You can enter any frequency in either MHz or kHz (the remote is smart enough to know which you meant!). In addition to taking you to the proper frequency, the remote also puts the radio in the correct mode for the frequency entered..

  • You can get the complete kit including a pre-drilled enclosure complete with hardware to mount the PC Board in the enclosure for US $45.
  • You can get a wired and tested model, which also includes cables to interface the unit to your radio (one for the computer control jack and one for the external speaker audio) for US $70.

In all of the above cases, the user is responsible for providing the external speaker, a power cable, and a suitable universal remote control.
