A few years ago Icom stopped encoding the serial number. So I don't
think there is any way to decipher the sn. It does not contain any
information other than to identify one individual box.

Anybody have better information please come forward.

I worked for Icom from 1989 until 2001 and Never knew the serial
number had any reference to the date of manufacture. The serial number
just identifies the product.

There is usually a version number close to the serial number.
Depending upon the part of the world you live the version number will
be different.
