[ICOM] Correction IC2-SA manual (NOT IC2-SAT)

www.icom.co.jp then click up top Global. then click Support in the 
top menus then choose Manual Downloads. Now you can choose Amateur 
manuals or input the model number.
The link below will take you right to the IC-2SA PDF manual, it did 
for me if not do the above.

http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support/download/manual/pdf/IC-2SA_2SE.pdf

Also if you go to the www.icom.co.jp site there is a IC-2SA tech 
talk. Its in PDF format and is a 10 meg download. It shows the rest 
of the things you need to program the IC-2Sa.
At the time Japan was thinking people like simple things so they made 
the manual simple and the IC-2SA simple to operate and that was fine 
for most. But for things like setting the code squelch using the 
UT-49 you needed the multi function mode and that tech talk to do it.

Remember if you have not used this radio in a while, charge up the 
battery and then do a reset. It has a rechargeable internal lithium 
battery which gets it's charge from an external fully charged 
battery. When it goes dead many times the 2SA series acts broken, 
really the CPU starts at an unknown place it seems and a full reset 
fixes that. Memories are already lost due to the rechargeable battery 
pack going dead anyway.

I no longer see a way to thank Icom Japan for making the effort to 
PDF most of their older manual and making them available for download 
on the www.icom.co.jp web page. They used to take inquiries directly, 
now they send you to the various distributors around the world.
