- MODS FOR ICOM 32AT
-
- 1. Remove battery and antenna.
- 2. Loosen two screws on top of unit as much as possible without removing them.
- 3. Loosen 4 flat head screws on bottom of unit 1 turn.
- 4. Loosen 2 screws near PTT switch 1 turn.
- 5. Remove 4 black screws on back of unit.
- 6. Lift bottom of front cover .25 inch, slide it down .25 inch, then lift
- front cover up 1 inch.
- 7. Disconnect plug on 4 wires coming from the speaker.
- << THe flex cable can be disconnected from the main board by gently
- pulling up on the ears of the connector for that cable on the main board>>
- 8. Lay front panel on table up-side down being careful of the flex circuit.
- 9. All mods are done to the back of the front panel. Notice places for 5
- axial diodes, which I will call 1 through 5, 1 being nearest the display.
- <<These are on the right hand side of the back of the front panel>>
- Add/remove diodes so there are diodes in positions 3 and 5. This will
- open up receive coverage for VHF & UHF and enable keyboard entry of the
- 10 MHz digit.
- << I seemed to have the same coverage with and without diode #3 installed>>
-
- When you go out of the range the radio will receive a U appears in
- place of the memory channel number. It means the PLL circuit has
- lost lock and the radio will not work.
-
- 10. Notice 4 surface mount resistors slightly left of center directly
- above the speaker, lined up in a row. Solder the anode (the side
- without the bar) of two diodes to the right side of the lower of
- the four resistors.
