ICOM A210
I have an ICOM A210 installed in a Sanka helicopter. The features of
the radio are excellent, but the real reason why this radio is installed is because I was hoping that like the A200, you could scroll through the memory channels with a yoke button and then with another button flip-flop between the active and standby frequencies. What happens is that as long as the intercom is disabled, I can switch the memory mode on or off (without scrolling through the frequencies programmed in the memory) with one button, and the other flip-flops the active and standby frequencies. When the intercom is switched on, both buttons then act as flip-flop buttons. I have checked the wiring connections thoroughly and gone through the entire menu programming and it seems that this capability is now lost on this model. For flying helicopters it is really useful to change frequencies without having to take your hands off the cylic and collective. If anyone has an answer for this I would be really grateful as the factory does not seem to be concerned with customer queries. |

If anyone has an answer for this I would be really grateful as the factory does not seem to be concerned with customer queries. I have a MicroAir that if I leave it in the memory mode my toggle will go thru what ever frequencies that I have stored. I typically put about 5 frequencies in memory and then can scroll thru them with the toggle button. This gives me just a PTT and the toggle button to fuss with. I do have to watch that I don't get the 121.5 emergency freq which has a permanent position in memory. -- Stuart & Kathryn Fields, Publishers Experimental Helo magazine P. O.

This feature is only active if you are using the molex connector of the radio. Does your setup use the Molex or S-sub connector? Installation manual states that if usuing S-sub connector that either intercom or yoke mounted channel/frequency exchange switch can only be installed. Both CAN NOT be installed at the same time.
