IC2GAT.1
OUT-OF-BAND TRANSMIT MOD FOR ICOM IC-2GAT HANDHELD 2M TRANSCEIVER

Connect diode between top lead of D506 and lower right lead of
Q506 as shown.
Notes: D506 may be absent. If not, remove it.
Reset CPU if needed.

A friend did this and his IC-2GAT can now transmit 138 to 178 MHz (no
RF power output measurements were made). He did no retuning, and did
not have to reset the CPU. He used a tiny axial-lead glass diode,
replaced its leads with wire-wrap wire, and encased it in shrink-tube.
The operation requires a super-tiny soldering iron. Observe CMOS
soldering precautions: Unplug the iron and ground the tip before
touching the circuit.
Remember: Except for MARS and CAP, it is illegal to transmit outside
the ham bands with non-type-approved equipment.
