This book also includes an enhanced versions of my procedures found in the popular "Icom IC M802 Made Simple for Cruisers". (See www.made-simplefor-cruisers.com) After finding so many poor installations on cruising boats, it was clear that the basics for new installations needed to be covered. Even many of the boats that have had "professional installers" have had major issues. If you are planning to buy an HF SSB radio or just getting ready to install one, you will save time and money if you have read this book before installation. A check sheet is provided to make sure all the parts are available for installation. Another check sheet is included to guide you through an inspection of the new installation to make sure the radio is operational and does not get damaged when you key the microphone the first time. As an added plus the book contains a three discount coupons worth $120.00 for the system and components you may want in your HF SSB System. Buying this book and using the coupons, makes this book more than free. . . . . . . . Additions and Downloads for this book at: http://www.made-simplefor-cruisers.com/icom-ic-m802

Download or read book Icom IC M802 Made Simple for Cruisers written by T. L. Sparks and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-02-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Frequency Single Side Band (HF SSB) using the state-of-the-art Icom IC M802 is a necessary tool when cruising. HF SSB is a one to may communications device and is the best way to stay out of trouble at sea. With the M802's Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability, a distress call from your boat will probably be heard around the world. (See www.made-simplefor-cruisers.com)*** If you are in the process of buying and installing an IC M802, the best book for you is my volume 5, “Icom IC M802 Starting from Scratch”. Volume 5 contains the procedures in this book and will guide you through the process of buying, installing and testing of a new radio, plus HF SSB email setup.“Icom IC M802 Made Simple for Cruisers” is intended to be for cruisers that already have an IC M802 installed on their boat. The book provides very simplified operating procedures supported with many color graphics that aid in understanding the steps to use, program and make DSC calls. The key to being able to use the full capability of your radio is a good manual. The Icom manual is written at a very high level and as such most folks that are not “radio geeks” have trouble figuring out how to use the basics. After teaching cruisers how to use their M802, they find out how simple it really is to use the IC M802. So, I decided to write a Made Simple for Cruisers manual so all cruisers can utilize the full capability of the IC M802.My Made Simple for Cruisers books are simple as a result of my experiences when I taught at Electronics at Columbia Basin College in Washington. It became clear to me that what seemed simple to me then is not for someone that is trying to learn. My students taught me that when writing procedures, keep it simple and assume no prior knowledge of the reader. My goal for my Made Simple for Cruisers Series of books is to keep the procedures and layout of the book as simple as possible for complex things and to include additional information that will help other cruisers understand the concept of the subject.
