- Additional IC2SE functions
- ==========================
-
- The IC2SE handie has some functions which are not described in the manual.
-
- 'LIGHT' + '1' + switch on frequency input by keyboard requires only MHz
- and following digits (example : for 145.500,
- only "4500" has to be entered)
-
- 'LIGHT' + '2' + switch on frequency input by keyboard requires also the
- 10MHz digit (example : for 145.500, "45500"
- has to be entered)
-
- 'LIGHT' + '2' + switch on full frequency has to be entered (example :
- for 145500, "145500" has to be entered)
-
- 'LIGHT' + 'D' + switch on Display test
-
- Receiver covers approx. 75 to 370MHz. Frequency can be entered from 0 to
- 1310MHz. Normal sensitivity can only be expected between 110 and 180MHz.
- Between 108 and 130MHz, AM can be received. So far no method has been
- found to switch AM/FM manually. Broadband FM for broadcast stations between
- 87 and 108MHz is not possible (sensitivity is very low in this range).

- Extended IC2SE functions
- ========================
-
- 'LIGHT+FUNC' & SWITCH ON: Display test
-
- 'LIGHT+FUNC+V/M & SWITCH ON: Extended frequency range, 0 - 1310MHz,
- enters multi function mode with new PT
- status 'bA' for receive only, see PTT
- function table below for detailed operation.
- Tuning steps above 204MHz only 12.5KHz or
- 25KHz (channel number indicator changes from
- U to last ch. no.??)
-
- 'LIGHT+FUNC+C' & SWITCH ON: Changes PT from 'bA' to 'P' and enters multi
- function mode.
-
- PTT function table
- ==================
-
- PT status P PL bA
-
- Simple Mode:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- (- TX, 144-146 TX, 144-146 (*) TX, 144-146
- P - selects -( 'o.FF' other 'o.FF' other 'o.FF' other
- (- --- --- ---
-
- F&P - selects pwr low beep@ pwr
-
- Multi Mode:
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- (- TX, 144-146 low beep, high beep,
- P - selects -(
- (- --- frequency 100MHz steps
-
- F&P - selects pwr low beep AM/FM toggle
-
- Notes:
- ~~~~~
- P stands for pushing the PTT switch, table shows in 2nd row also the result
- of simultaneous rotation of the tuning control, --- = no reaction.
- F&P stands for pushing FUNC,PTT; pwr stands for low/high toggle and for
- stepping by tuning control, ref. to Instruction Manual.
- - PT status selection via SET/PRIVATE mode, ref. to Instruction Manual.
- - PT status 'bA's only available for extended frequency range (after
- execution of 'LIGHT+FUNC+V/M' & SWITCH ON), memory contents remain
- unchanged (approx. working range of ext. band is 75...365MHz).
- - Amateur frequency range can only be recovered by 'RESET', => 'LIGHT+MON'
- & SWITCH ON, all memory contents will be lost!
- (*) THIS OPERATION IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTION MANUAL, P. 30 -
- PL SHOULD LOCK PTT (TX DISABLED) ALSO IN SILE MODE!

- Extending the Rx. coverage of the IC2SE and IC4SE
- =================================================
-
- It is possible to extend the receiver coverage of both of the above radios
- without removing the covers!
-
- With the rig turned off, but beep enabled, hold down LAMP, FUNC and V/M
- buttons while simultaneously turning on the rig. Keep all 3 buttons pressed.
- The display will fill up with all sections on, then there will be a beep, a
- longish gap and another beep. Once the second beep is over, release the
- buttons.
- Lo and behold, you now have coverage of any freq from 0 to 1300 MHz, except,
- of course, that the VCO cannot cover the entire range. For example, the 4SE
- will cover approximately 380 to 480Mhz plus 805 to about 930MHz.
