- Subject: ICOM P2AT keyboard mods
-
-
- There was a recent posting requesting mods to the ICOM P2AT. I received
- the following info from Customer Service and they work fine on
- my P2AT:
-
- To enable wideband receive and direct keyboard entry of the entire
- frequency:
-
- with the HT off, hold down "Light" "B" and "#" keys and
- turn the HT on
-
- Get into the set mode and you will have a new option
- labeled "PL". Turn the upper right knob to change this to
- a value of 100. (The rep at ICOM said "PL" stands for "decimal
- placement")
-
- Get out of set mode
-
- You should now be able to enter VFO mode and just press seven digit keys
- to enter any freq directly. I don't have mine with me now, but I think
- you can enter any freq from 0 to 1GHz.

- A "U" on the display means that the PLL is unlocked. Thus, you cannot
- transmit or receive on the set frequency.
-
- There is often no real pattern of where the PLL will be locked or not, at
- least from my experience with my 2SAT.
-
- Good luck,
