- Subject: Icom IC-X2A Mods.
- From: Marwynne <marwynn@phoenix.phoenix.net>
-
- I would like this posted in the Icom Modifications. I have tried
- these mods and they seem to function. I do not recommend that anyone
- try these mods. If they do they do it at their own risk.

- Cross Band Repeat Function for the ICOM IC-X2A.
-
- You can use the same function set up as for the IC-W2A. The cross band
- repearter function works the same.
-
- To access the cross-band repeat function, first perform the extended
- receive mod by holding down the "Light","B","#" keys while turning on the
- power.
- This is less of a mod than it is a function. To expand the receiver
- frequency range of the new Icom IC-X2A to 322.00-513.00,
- and 800.000-1310.000, do the following:
-
- o Hold down the Light, B, and # keys while turning the power on.
-
- That's actually a four button sequence, since power on is controlled
- by a keypad button.
-
- select the 400 MHZ band as MAIN
- Press F (above the PTT button) and SET (the 8 button)
- then using the ^/SCAN button make the lower right symbol of the band say PL
- rotate the right knob to set the display to 1,10, or 100 as desired
- 1 sets entry to single digits only
- 10 sets entry to 10's and single digits
- 100 sets entry to all digits
-
- hit PTT
-
- Now - repeat the above for the UHF band - Note It WILL NOT work unless you do
- it for BOTH bands.
