ICT2H

This is a wonderful radio and capable of so much.
We have successfully expanded these radios using
the procedure described below.  There is a receive
only modification by keypad (Software).  There is
also these modifications which are permanent
(Hardware).

Do not attempt this modifcation unless you are
familiar with surface mount technology.

Modification as follows:

To expand the receive frequency range:
        Remove the D34 diode on the main board.

To expand the transmit frequency range:
        Remove the D18 diode on the main board.

These diodes are in the center of the main board
near a large ground area.  Approximately 1" up,
third and fourth surface mount devices from the
bottom center.

After modification the radio performs spectacularly
from about 130 MHz to 180 MHz.  The unit retains
full sensitivity and power through the entire range.

Display will read from 100 MHz to 200 MHz but only
performs in the range listed above.

There are no guarantees of coverage outside the ham bands.

This modification is for experimental purposes only.


Keypad Mod:

Turn your radio off, hold SP and up scan arrow down while turning on the
radio and don't release
for 5 seconds.

Have fun.

P.S. This unlocks readout from 100-200 mHz and actually recieves about
130-180 mHz.
