Airmail’s “autoset” function has been updated and works well for the M803.įrequency Control: The radio’s “REMOTE” frequency-control connection is via a standard RS232 serial port and can be connected to the modem with a Farallon #8083 cable (2M, or 8084 for 4M). The audio level settings should be 900/1200 for FSK/PSK respectively. The 9090 cable used on most Icom radios for the “ACC” connector cannot be used. Connect this from the modem’s “Audio” (“Main Audio” for the DR-7800) to the radio’s “AF/MOD” connector and plug the 8-pin DIN plug into the radio’s “ACC” connector (for 12V power). This is a new cable for the M803 (details below). Modems: Any of the SCS Pactor modems including the DR-7400 or DR-7800 Pactor-4 modems, the PTC-IIIusb Pactor-2 modem, and any of the earlier PTC-II modem-series.Ĭables: The audio cable is Farallon #9098 (2M, or 9099 for 4M). While the M803 has the same “ACC” connector as the earlier M802 and M710/700pro radios, it is not compatible and a different cable is needed for the AF/MOD connector. Any of the SCS modems are supported.Ĭonnection is similar to Icom’s previous marine radios, with audio and control cables commecting radio to modem: One for the audio signals and a second cable for radio frequency control. It supports the latest DSC standard, incorporates Icom’s latest SDR radio designs, and also includes GPS (internal or external) and provides that data for position reporting.
Icom’s new M803 Marine SSB Radio began shipping in early 2020 and is a terrific radio for use with Sailmail.
