Check with Icom.  If they no longer support it, like the IC-37A, you might 
contact Scott Malcom at MTS Electronic Repair for parts.  His number is:  
509-732-8883  He is an ex-Icom technician.  Very knowledgible, with lots of 
"obsolete" parts.

What are the Canadians doing for 220 radios, since they still have the 
original full allocation?

222MHz, Use it or loose what's left of it!
