Unlock code for SEA222 SSB Radio

Try entering a string of 8's, then enter... This should put the radio into Factory Test Mode.... Once in Test Mode, you should be able to enter ANY Simplex Frequency that is inside the VCO Lock Range and have it work. I haven't messed with a 222 in years but it works on my 230's, 330's 325's ect... and I seem to remember using it, way back when, to program in Ham Frequencies, when setting up Antenna Tuners.

Bruce ,
For you lucky guyswho were supplied unlocked radios yes that works just fine - unfortunately for us down under types our govt's persistwith telling us what we can and canot do... so SEA came up with a parial ly open radio blast it... however a few of us have circumvented that inane bit of officaldom now! using your USA spec EPROM

 

Here's a basic guide.

If you enter the frequecy directly (no need to push the Tx mike button by the way) then its RX only.

For Tx frequecies they have to be an allocated channel.

 

With the U.S. version, you would normally program a scratchpad memory channel for receive/transmit use. You get into that mode by pressing all 8's. If you just want to use a particular frequency for receive AND transmit without programming a channel, enter the numbers and hold the mic key before pressing ENT.

Hi.,
Have just been searching for help on our SSB SEA222, it was working brilliantly and then just started flashing UNLOCK., cannot receive/transmit. From what I can gather the set needs servicing, is this correct? anyone know anyone based in Panama (Balboa) that can help, or even shipping to USA.
(Manual gives no help/indication)
Thanks
