D21 is a tiny glass diode standing on-end near the center of the upper circuit board, accessible by removing the top cover. The IC-28 is the only convertible ham rig I know that covers the 170-MHz federal government (including national park) frequencies. [source: W9MKV] Copied from the QRZ! Windows Ham Radio CDROM
