Subject: Icom IC-X2A Mods. From: Marwynne I would like this posted in the Icom Modifications. I have tried these mods and they seem to function. I do not recommend that anyone try these mods. If they do they do it at their own risk. Modification Instructions for the IC-X2A Handheld Cross Band Repeat Function for the ICOM IC-X2A. You can use the same function set up as for the IC-W2A. The cross band repearter function works the same. To access the cross-band repeat function, first perform the extended receive mod by holding down the "Light","B","#" keys while turning on the power. This is less of a mod than it is a function. To expand the receiver frequency range of the new Icom IC-X2A to 322.00-513.00, and 800.000-1310.000, do the following: o Hold down the Light, B, and # keys while turning the power on. That's actually a four button sequence, since power on is controlled by a keypad button. select the 400 MHZ band as MAIN Press F (above the PTT button) and SET (the 8 button) then using the ^/SCAN button make the lower right symbol of the band say PL rotate the right knob to set the display to 1,10, or 100 as desired 1 sets entry to single digits only 10 sets entry to 10's and single digits 100 sets entry to all digits hit PTT Now - repeat the above for the UHF band - Note It WILL NOT work unless you do it for BOTH bands.
