[ICOM] Icom IC-02 AT, 2 m HT FS

[Gary Fiber]

Ken,

I was looking about and came across a modification for 02AT's with 
serial numbers above 34,000 Now that seems to ring a bell and I think 
yours with a 17,000 serial number is a early version. the later models 
would also reset holding the FUNC button and turning on the radio.

The early versions ones you had to disassemble the radio, remove the 
front cover, power it up and press the little reset button. The also the 
OOB modification took about 3 diodes to accomplish where above 34,000 
you removed one diode for wide RX and installed another to enable TX.

The bad news is the early version 02AT's used a different duplex setting 
procedure than what I wrote.

I still think its FUNC then while holding the FUNC button choose the 
desired direction of offset release the function. Now Press the FUNC 
again. then the " 7 " then amount of offset on 4 digits then release the 
FUNC button..

Or maybe this has to be done while standing on your head and whistling ;)

Lots of mods posted no operating guides than on Icom.co.jp web page 
which is the newer version I am sure.

Someone on this list must have an early 02AT manual they could look this 
up in or one of those wallet cards we used to give out at hamfest and 
mail out.
I was looking in my file cabinet and found a memory programming quick 
guide card for the IC-27A/H-37A and 47A but no 02AT dang..........

Well this has been a good exercise for my grey matter.
