Icom IC-R8600 Avoiding 'Band Shock'; Ham Band Memory Programming Overview

Jarrad VK3BL covers how to avoid 'Band Shock' when using the IC-R8600; 'Band Shock' is when you press the touch screen only to find no shortcuts to the Ham Bands! :)
In this video we explore programming the Ham Bands into memory, cover what settings are stored, what 'gotchas' exist and how to get around them, as well a suggesting a few other settings geared towards Ham usage.
We hope both SWLers and Hams enjoy alike!

Hey Jarrad, thanks for the vid! I didn't know 14205 was the DX call frequency, is that actually a thing? Like on 10m?

[@RateMyRadio]

It sure is Jonathan, generally between 14195 and 14210 you'll find DXers, with 14205 being the official call frequency. A lot of DXPeditions will start there if its free :)
