Icom IC-M802 Installation manual

Programming the Icom-M802, & the Open Ham/Dial Mode
The Icom M802 has two modes of operation - "Marine" which is the default and
"Open".
The radio is much easier to program in "Open" mode and thus it is
recommended that the radio be put into "open" mode before programming is
comenced.
"Open" mode is also advantageous as it also enables the radio to operate on
lower side band (SSB), on other HF frequencies such as ham radio and also
makes for easier manual tuning - ie like your AM / FM radio that you probably
have in your car.
The CLAR/RX key toggles the radio back-and-forth between the Marine Mode
and the Open Mode.
To determine if the Open Mode on your M802 is enabled press the CLAR/RX key
on the keypad. If enabled, the LCD display will change, displaying frequency
information with a cursor beneath the rightmost digit. If the display does not
change or there's no cursor beneath the displayed frequency, the Open Mode is
not enabled.
Here's how to put the radio into the Open Mode and set frequencies:
