    Why does my Icom Transceiver display “NO POSITION” and “NO TIME”?
    • A
      Andrew MorrisAug 31, 2025
      If “NO POSITION” and “NO TIME” are displayed on your Icom Transceiver instead of the position and time, it could be due to a GPS receiver not being correctly connected. Check the GPS receiver connection. It's also possible that the position and time have not been manually entered, so enter the position and time.

      Joseph PhillipsAug 30, 2025
      If you cannot transmit or select high power on your Icom Transceiver, it might be because some channels are set for low power or receive only due to regulations. Try changing channels. Alternatively, the output power might be set to low; push [HI/LO] to select high power.

      If your Icom Transceiver does not turn ON, it might be due to a bad connection to the power supply. Check the connection to the transceiver and power supply. Another possible cause is a blown fuse. If this is the case, repair the problem, and then replace the fuse.

      If you're experiencing little or no sound from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, there are a few potential causes. First, the squelch level might be set too high; try setting the squelch to the threshold point. Second, the volume level may be set too low; adjust the volume to a suitable level.
