- ICOM IC2SAT
-
- MODIFICATION TO RECEIVE 108-132 MHz AM
- 136-250 MHz FM (with a few missing spots)
-
- To activate this feature you must remove a diode from inside the radio. If
- your IC2SAT is very new, the a diode may have already been taken taken out at
- the factory, otherwise you must take the diode out yourself.
-
- The first step is to take the radio apart by taking out the 2 long screws on
- the back by the PTT, and 1 short screw on the wrist strap loop. On the plate
- where the battery slides on, undo the 2 countersunk screws. The radio opens
- like a book with the hinge near the PTT. Just behind the PTT button is a glass
- diode mounted on a little board. Remove this diode, if it's not already
- missing.
-
- You will probably have to enable the wide receive by holding the LIGHT, the
- letter B aqnd the "#" button while turning on the radio. If done right, the
- display will show all its segments, then be as normal.
-
- NOTE: You might try the button sequence first, just in case the diode has
- already been removed.

- IC2SAT and the mod works as shown)
