Title: ICOM 207H Split Band
Post by: KB2SIN on December 22, 2022, 01:14:52 PM

Can anyone tell me if the ICOM 207H can do split band operation? I want to work the ISS and curious if and how it can be programmed for Split band operation.

Thank you

I don’t think so.

I have one here that I use regularly, and don’t
remember that as an option.  It’s a 25-year-old
radio, and doesn’t have some of the more modern
features.

But I can dig out the manual and see...

If I recall the one I had, it has a single VXO, so it can only work one band at a time... so no, it will not work cross band.

Sorry.... :(

You can program the two frequencies into adjacent
memory channels.  Then you would need to switch
between the channels as well as pushing / releasing
the PTT switch to go between TX and RX.  Not as
convenient, but could be made to work.

I had one. No it can't really do that on its own.
It's a dual band radio, but only one band at a time.
You'd have to program adjacent memory channels and switch back and forth manually
each time you keyed the mike and again when you unkey the mike.
