Subject: ICOM IC-2AT, IC-02AT Mods
Wright, Tim AL7DS: "Those Tantalizing Twos," _73_ magazine, June
1986 p. 60.
Description of modifications requires illustrations. Article has very
good mod for IC-2AT, to cover portion of 150 MHz range and preserve
ham band. The IC-02AT modifications are valid only for units with
serial numbers below 34000.
A simpler IC-2AT mod is described in _73_, October 1981 p. 113.

KENWOOD 2600
West, Gordon: "All-Band Transmit Modifications," _Popular
Communications_, March 1968 p. 60.
Locate the two diodes standing on end with Teflon covering the top
part of their leads (which at one time were soldered together, broken,
and then resoldered). Simply clip these two leads to unlock the
transmitter, but be sure to reset the microprocessor by pushing the
reset button before the set is capable of transmitting on any
frequency at 150 MHz.
KENWOOD TS-430S
Unplug 3-wire plug on the RF board that mates with socket 10. When
looking at the top front of the radio, it's to the left front side
right beside a larger white plug. You'll need to carefully examine
the circuit board and locate the number 10 with a circle around it to
insure you have the right plug.
KENWOOD 940
Locate IC number 109. Now find diode 130 and cut it for all-band
transmit. If you want just MARS coverage, locate IC 111 and 112, and
snip diode 135 beside it.
KENWOOD 930
Modifiable; requires several jumper. Details not given.
ICOM IC-720
Transmitter is unlocked by snipping the light blue wire that's at the
very end of the top hatch cover to the left middle side of the
transceiver.
ICOM IC-735
To unlock the transmitter: cut diodes D33 and D34 that are standing on
end near the microprocessor section toward the rear top of the radio.
ICOM IC-745
Locate the RF board on the side of the radio and cut the light brown
wire at jack 7., which is going to pin 1. Your transmitter is now
unlocked.
ICOM IC-751
Locate the RF board on the side of the radio and cut the black wire
going to pin 1 of jack 2. Your transmitter is now unlocked. (This
mod also described in _73_, July 1985 p. 12.)
ICOM M-700 Marine Transceiver
Despite that the literature says, no lock-out is employed. For ham
frequencies on 40, 80 or 160 meters, set the mode switch to the hard
left position of "A3," to enable the lower sideband filter (all marine
HF uses upper sideband).
