There was a recent posting requesting mods to the ICOM P2AT.  I received

the following info from ICOM 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 (within PLL Lock range).
