I’d think the noise of the machine would make it difficult to use a mobile rig. What about using a handheld, which you could tuck in a shirt pocket or put over your shoulder like those firefighter radio carrier things? A handheld would allow you to use an earphone too, making it easier to hear.
Make sure if using “Unit number ___” that you’re wearing a shoulder mic, a black basket weave belt complete with flashlight, knife, and keys. Also helpful if you drive an ex-cop car, as this helps complete the picture. [emoji16]
Did the software allow you to put tones in both rx/rx fields? Then you saved the file and pushed it back into the radio? If so, you may just need to keep trying until someone answers. You can double check and edit the tones in the radio menu. I can’t explain it here, but a review of the Icom manual online will guide you. If that tone field is not able of be edited then RT should be able to help. The comment was a half-assed attempt at social commentary about our current national nonsense. Wasn’t directed at you.
I’m not too concerned as I believe the plan will work as intended. That said, it’s never a bad time to buy new gear so I picked up a couple more Icom’s today; 2730 Black Edition and an ID-52 Plus.
My experience with Icom, and the RT Systems software was pretty simple, I just clicked the mouse in the field. I wanted to edit and it allowed me to edit there. Not sure why you’re having trouble, consider giving RT systems a call. They have great tech support.
