Subject: Icom IC-2SAT enhancements, part 2
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
A friend of mine in Germany mailed me a *very* intriguing photocopy of
a letter he received from someone who works for Icom-Europe. It's an
internal ICOM memo with details on how to do all sorts of nifty tricks
with the IC-2SE (which may nicely translate to IC-2SAT tricks).
I have attempted to exactly duplicate the memo below, mangled spelling,
unclear passages, and all. I don't have an IC-2SAT service manual yet,
and so I'm not qualified to say if this is all really applicable or not.
And, the German at the closing is a mystery. I typed "fu:r" to indicate
"fr". Anyone with more details, please let us know!

ps: For the people asking "what was your original diode matrix, that appears
at the end. There was some thought that the matrix programming changed
after the first few (hundred? thousand?) models. This is from the
schematic that came with mine, with serial number in the 9500's.
pps: Before you ask "where's part 1", that was the article titled "Icom
IC-2SAT", where I gave results of signal generator testing....

1. Change to RECEIVER MODE (not receive mode) 75 - 106 MHz (FM)
2. FUNC + PTT (working in RECEIVER MODE) 108 - 130 MHz (AM)
138 - 169 MHz (FM)
Note: (+) 174 - 192 MHz (FM)
1. keep pushing each key at same time, 204 - 243 MHz (FM)
2. switch on equipment, 250 - 291 MHz (FM)
3. hold (about 4sec.) until "SET" appear, 310 - 370 MHz (FM)
4. release keys and requested mode appear;
Easily tunning step change (5 - 50 KHz):
1. push and hold FUNC key for 2sec.
2. rotate TUNING CONTROL.
3. Push FUNC to return to previous mode.
Frequency ranges are appoximately and not garantied. Receiver
sensitivity garantied only in HAM-Band (144 - 146 MHz).
In RECEIVER Mode equipment running exclusively as a Receiver, cannot
transmit at all.

IC-2SA/E Frequency range expantion
* Remove any diode position on D6
* Install diode DA (code No. 1750000160) position D6
After this modification frequency lock range will be expand typicaly :
RX (MHz) : 108 - 140 (AM) , 138-169 (FM) , 310-370 (FM) ,
TX (MHz) : 139 - 163 (FM) ,

[explanation of page 2]
Yeah, the above is crude, just meant to give the relative locations of the
mysterious diode, SP1, R38, R39, R41, R42, R43, and R61. The 3-terminal
box with an arrow drawn to it (the arrow is in the original image) looks
like the below. A diode is connected from the lower left tab to the upper tab.

[diode matrix programming]
To simplify/fool-proof this, if the schematic has:
(X) --->|--- (Y)
I'll say "from X to Y". From the "IC-2SAT IC-2SET SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM":
Japan Version D6: DA115 from KEYI2 to KEYS2
Europe Version D5: DA115 from KEYI0 to KEYS3
D6: DA115 from KEYI2 to KEYS2
Italy Version D5: DAN202U from KEYI1 to KEYS3 and
from KEYI0 to KEYS3
D6: DA114 from KEYI0 to KEYS2
U.S.A. Version D4: DA115 from KEYI2 to KEYS3
D9: ISS254 from KEYI1 to KEYS2
Australia Version D5: DA114 from KEYI1 to KEYS3
D6: DA115 from KEYI2 to KEYS2
Asia Version D4: DA115 from KEYI2 to KEYS3
Now, can anyone use this to figure out the Icom-Europe memo???
