copied from packet: Message-ID: <29747@N0ARY> Subject: Here's a mod for your ICP2AT From: Mark Butterworth ab6qz@n0ary or mark@hpocrks.sj.hp.com I found this mod for my ICOM P2AT and thought others would like to see it. It works great! To enable wideband receive and direct keyboard entry of the entire frequency range: with the HT off, hold down "Light" "B" and "#" keys and turn the HT on (hard for one person to do) Get into the set mode and you will have a new option labeled "PL". Turn the upper right knob to change this to a value of 100. (The rep at ICOM said "PL" stands for "decimal placement") Get out of set mode You should now be able to enter VFO mode and just press seven digit keys to enter any freq directly. You can enter any freq from 0 to 999MHz. How wide your radio will recieve is just luck, but about 60 to 250 MHz seems to be the range. And of course, don't transmit out of band. A "U" on the display means that the PLL is unlocked. Thus, you cannot transmit or receive on the set frequency. Have fun... =========================================================================== Note: I haven't tried or verified this, proceed at your own risk. And Do Not transmit outside of legal bands!
