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

I found this mod for my ICOM P2AT and thought others would like to see it.
It works great!

To enable wideband receive and direct keyboard entry of the entire
frequency range:

        with the HT off, hold down "Light" "B" and "#" keys and
        turn the HT on (hard for one person to do)

        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.  You can enter any freq from 0 to 999MHz. How
wide your radio will recieve is just luck, but about 60 to 250 MHz seems
to be the range. And of course, don't transmit out of band.

A "U" on the display means that the PLL is unlocked.  Thus, you cannot
transmit or receive on the set frequency.
