[ICOM] Icom Handheld units

[Gary Fiber]

Duane,

I remember the 02A, I seem to remember that was the Japanese version. I 
also remember while at Icom in the early 1990's we did have a tone board we 
could add to the 02A, but those are long gone.
A quick test for the 02A would be to see if it operates below 146.00 MHz as 
the Japanese versions did not out of the box.
