The radio should either be in a carboard box marked "Icom" or a blue Pelican case (if the radio is still in a cardboard box, please let PBEM know so they can replace it with a Pelican case). When you open the box, you will find the radio disassembled in three pieces: radio, battery pack, and antenna. You will also find AA batteries in the box with the radio. Load batteries into the battery pack and affix the pack to the back of the radio. Screw the antenna on. Power the radio on to test the batteries. | The radio should either be in a carboard box marked "Icom" or a blue Pelican case (if the radio is still in a cardboard box, please let PBEM know so they can replace it with a Pelican case).
