To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if the Alinco Transceiver PTT key is pressed but doesn't transmit?
If the PTT key is pressed on your Alinco Transceiver but it doesn't transmit, it could be due to a poor microphone or antenna connection. Ensure that both the microphone and antenna are properly connected.
Why is there no sound coming from the Alinco DR-CS25 speaker?
If no sound is coming from the speaker of your Alinco Transceiver, it might be because the squelch level is too high. Try decreasing the squelch level. Alternatively, selective-calling like TSQ might be activated; press the Micro's key to monitor.
Why won't the rotating dial change the memory channel on my Alinco DR-CS25?
If the rotating dial on your Alinco Transceiver will not change the memory channel, it might be because the transceiver is in CALL mode. Press the key to exit CALL mode and enable memory channel changing.
What to do if the fuse is blown in an Alinco Transceiver?
If the fuse is blown in your Alinco Transceiver, you need to identify and resolve the underlying problem that caused it to blow. After fixing the issue, replace the blown fuse with a new one.
Why does nothing appear on the Alinco DR-CS25 display when the power is on?
If the power is on but nothing appears on the display of your Alinco Transceiver, it's possible that the polarities of the power connection are reversed. Ensure that you connect the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal of the DC power supply.
