I have thought many times of attempting to get my IC02AT to cover
a larger frequency range primarily to recieve the NOAA weather forcast.
I have tried to get a service manual from Icom America without too much
luck.  Has anyone else gotten one?  Ok so I got adventursome and opened
up the little monster after it losts its memory in cold weather.  Pushing
the reset switch fixed that by the way.  After finding the diodes used
to program the band plan I decided to quit rather than destroying the
thing as the diodes were acutally surface mounted transistors.  While I
am pretty well equiped to work on small circuits I don't have much
experience with SMC's.

Has anyone been more adventursome than myself and would you like to share?
