I received the following info from ICOM Customer Service and they work fine on my P2AT: To enable wideband receive and direct keyboard entry of the entire frequency: with the HT off, hold down "Light" "B" and "#" keys and turn the HT on Get into the set mode and you will have a new option labeled "PL". Turn the upper right knob to change this to a value of 100. (The rep at ICOM said "PL" stands for "decimal placement") Get out of set mode You should now be able to enter VFO mode and just press seven digit keys to enter any freq directly. I don't have mine with me now, but I think you can enter any freq from 0 to 1GHz (within PLL Lock range). Dave Meer, N6KEF
