Why doesn't a Programmed scan start on my Icom i2730A?
If a Programmed scan does not start on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that the VFO mode is selected by pushing [V/MHz SCAN]. Additionally, check that different frequencies are entered into the scan edges; if the same frequencies are entered, the scan will not start.
Why doesn't a Memory scan start on my Icom i2730A?
If a Memory scan does not start on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that the Memory mode is selected by pushing [MR CALL]. Also, make sure that two or more memory channels have been programmed; if not, program more than two memory channels.
How to fix Icom i2730A if power does not turn ON?
If your Icom Transceiver does not turn on when you push the power button, it may be due to a few reasons. First, check that the DC power cable is correctly connected. If it is, a fuse might be blown; in this case, identify and correct the cause, then replace the fuse with an equivalent one. Lastly, ensure that you are applying the correct 13.8 V DC power source.
Why there is no sound from the speaker of Icom i2730A?
If you cannot hear any sound from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, there are several potential causes. First, check the audio volume level and rotate the [VOL] knob clockwise to increase it. Also, the squelch might be closed, so rotate the [SQL] knob to the 12 o’clock position to open it. If you're in FM mode, the Tone squelch might be on, so turn it off. Ensure that the external speaker is properly connected, and finally, check if the audio is muted and push the appropriate key to release the mute function.
What to do if the displayed frequency is erroneous on Icom i2730A Transceiver?
If your Icom Transceiver's displayed frequency is incorrect, it could be due to a CPU malfunction. In this case, reset the transceiver. Alternatively, external factors might be the cause, so try disconnecting and reconnecting the DC power source.
Why is transmitting impossible on Icom i2730A?
If you are unable to transmit with your Icom Transceiver, it could be due to several reasons. The PTT Lock function might be activated; if so, set it to OFF in EXMENU. Alternatively, the Busy Lockout function may be activated; set this to OFF in EX-MENU. Finally, ensure that the frequency you are using is within the amateur band.
Why is the sensitivity too low on Icom Transceiver?
If the sensitivity of your Icom Transceiver is too low, and you can only hear strong signals, there are a few things to check. First, ensure that the antenna is properly connected and not defective, and that the coaxial cable connector is not shorted or cut; reconnect to the antenna connector if necessary. Also, the Attenuator function might be turned ON, so turn it OFF. Finally, the squelch might be set too tight, so rotate the [SQL] knob to adjust the squelch level.
What to do if the displayed frequency does not change when [DIAL]S is rotated on Icom Transceiver?
If the displayed frequency on your Icom Transceiver doesn't change when you rotate the [DIAL] knob, the Lock function might be ON, so turn it OFF. Alternatively, the Memory or Call channel might be selected; push [V/MHz SCAN] to select the VFO mode.
Why can't I make contact with another station on Icom i2730A Transceiver?
If you cannot make contact with another station using your Icom Transceiver, it could be because the Duplex function is ON, causing the transmit and receive frequencies to be different; turn OFF the Duplex function. Also, make sure you enter the correct RX and TX frequencies.
Why can't I receive on the SUB band of my Icom i2730A Transceiver?
If you cannot receive on the SUB band of your Icom Transceiver, the SUB band mute function might be activated. Turn OFF this function to enable reception on the SUB band.
