Thanks. I had found that lamp in the Mouser catalog. However, the
last time I applied power to the IC-28H, one of the lamps came back to
life. When I observe it from the backside of the circuit board, the
lamp has a definite green glow. I assume this is what gives the green
look to the display. I read a message from one person who used amber
LED's to give it an amber display. This leads me to conclude that the
color of the lamp light is what determines the color of the display.
I have not seen any 7219 lamps on the Internet that are green. Still
looking.

How about using a standard bulb (as in the Mouser catalog) and giving
it a light coat of green nail polish? A light-green LED with series
dropping resistor might also give you the desired hue.

I have been thinking about trying the amber LED's. I also sent an
e-mail to Icom to see what they can tell me.

I got my answer back from Icom. Answers the question about the green
lamps.

Good Morning.....

Thanks for your e-mail.

The lamps are clear in color. The display color comes from the filter
that is behind the display. The stocking part number for the lamps
is: 5080000130. You can purchase them from our parts department.
Their e-mail address is: or you can telephone
them at: 425-454-8155. Hope this will help.
