I will pass on any replies.

But rather than doing it by email, you should either post the mods here or upload them to a public site and place the link here. This is a discussion forum, after all. Surely mods.dk has it. I seem to recall discussion here when it was more topical that one of those Radio Shack 2M walkie talkies couldn't be extended, and it was a feature since the rig had a narrower front end, less prone to overload. But I also recall that came up because at the time, someone was claiming one of them could be extended, so it's not clear if the discussion was about the other one, or someone had some false mod.

Michael Could be, but I wouldn't expect that to be much of a problem for the MARS/CAP mods, whose frequencies are just outside of the band. I don't have one of these radios - but this is a discussion group, after all, which is why I mentioned it. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |

Yes, but if the radio had no ability to be extended, it's a different case from those that could be extended by snipping that diode. I got an Icom 02-AT at a garage sale last year, and someone had already done the modification. I don't have one of these radios - but this is a discussion group, after all, which is why I mentioned it. Sure, I was just discussing. Michael |

The 202 does not have a mod for extending the frequency range. Someone even said that in the thread 20 years ago. Reading elsewhere, Radio Shack bought the design for the IC-02AT from Icom, but then could do whatever it wanted, and they worried about out of band use, so they made sure it couldn't easily be modified. Apparently there was a change of heart later, beacause the Radio Shack HXT-212, note "1" instead of the "0", does have diode to snip to allow wider range, So either you still buy into the myth that the 202 could be extended, even two decades later, or you didn't even read the original post properly and think they are talking about the 212 rather than the 202. There usually is no good reason to reply to an old thread. Michael |
