I have the ICOM 802 with automatic antenna tuner. You can obtain the ICOM
code from the Dockside Radio Website. www.docksideradio.com
This unlock code no enables you to hand dial any frequency you want either
commercial or Ham. I do not see the need to buy different radios when you have
the un-lock code
that is not published by ICOM. They like to sell radios I am sure to both
markets.
When I purchased my Icom 802, I called their support group and was emailed the
unlock code. I would guess that they don't publish it in the manual to keep
those that are purchasing a SSB only from messing with the settings and then
calling support when the radio doesn't work automatically.
