UNDOCUMENTED FEATURES OF THE ICOM IC-32AT
                              
After having opened the transmit and receive on the Icom IC-32AT, I discovered
that I have some other advantages.  I am not sure if these will work on an
unmodified IC-32AT, but it's worth a try (It doesn't involve opening the 
radio).  Everything is done from the keypad.

SELF TEST OF SYSTEM AND DISPLAY

1. With the radio turned off, press the FUNCTION key and the digit 2 on the
   keypad at the same time.  While holding these on, turn the radio on.  The
   beep should sound (if enabled) and a full display of all characters should
   appear on the LCD display.  When the self test is complete, the beep will
   sound and normal operation may be started.

EUROPEAN 430 OPERATION (if expanded frequency coverage has been done)

1. As above, with the radio turned off, press and hold the FUNCTION key and the
   digit 6 and turn the radio on.  The UHF portion of the radio will now
   operate as described in the owners manual for the European version of the
   IC-32 (except for the tones...).  Beware, doing this wipes out the UHF
   memories and requires that they be reprogrammed.  The only way to get the
   unit back to the USA mode is to do a reset (see owners manual).

   
EUROPEAN 144 OPERATION

1. As above, with the radio turned off, press and hold the FUNCTION key and the
   digit # and turn on the radio.  The VHF portion of the radio will now
   operate as described in the owners manual for the European version of the
   IC-32 (except for the tones...)  See the caution in the above UHF step as it
   applies to the VHF in this case.
