Programming the ICOM IC400 pro

ive had a look at the software for the 400pro , and i got the hang of it inside 30 seconds even though im only 15

, so you think that a tech or anyone for that matter that has the authority to use these frequncies would have the mental capacity to figure out how to use the software properly , ive been told that its $10,000 fine or/and 2 years jail if you caught TXing on a emergency service frequncie without permission

Actually, under the Radiocommunications Act, you can be fined and/or gaoled just for connecting a radio programmed for transmission on any frequencies you're not authorised for to an antenna.

Very interesting... so if I have an all-mode-all-band amateur transciever, can I get in trouble for connecting it because it's programmed for bands that i'm not licensed on?

Grey area huh!

Congrats on picking up in a 30 sec time frame even tho my question wasn't in regards on how to use the program it was how to TX a channel in regards to the quote "TOOL" I don't think there is any need for yourself to express your thoughts on the forum out loud best keep them to yourself and to everyone else I am not an idiot and don't wish to TX on any emergency service channel I simply asked to know for further knowledge and for the reason I put forward to the forum at the start of this Post

im just trying to say how easy it is to figure out.
do you know what inhabit means? or what about TX?
have you even had a look at help/trouble-shooting?

I think what Mug actually meant to say was "could you please punctuate your sentances to make them a little bit easier to read".
