Why can't I receive on my Icom IC-41PRO Transceiver, but others hear me?

  This may happen if the squelch is set too high. To fix it, reduce the squelch level by pushing [Side 2] and then rotating [ROTARY SELECTOR] counterclockwise to set the correct squelch level. Also, this can happen if Tone squelch (quiet reception mode) is ON. In this case, hold down [Side 1] for 2 seconds several times until “TSQL” disappears. Finally, Selcall Quiet Mode may be ON. To turn it off, push [Top] to enter the Function mode, and then push to turn OFF the Quiet mode.

What to do if I can receive on my Icom IC-41PRO Transceiver, but others cannot hear me?

  If you can receive but others can't hear your transmissions, the output power level may be set to “LOW.” Push to change the output power level to “HIGH,” and make sure that the battery is fully charged. Also, the other stations might be operating in Tone squelch or Selcall modes, so set the correct Tone squelch setting for the user group.

Why is there continuous noise from my Icom IC-41PRO Transceiver speaker?
- M
  Mandy GarrettAug 11, 2025
  Continuous noise from the speaker can occur if Monitor (Open squelch) is ON. Push [Side 1] to turn the Monitor function OFF. Another cause is the squelch level being set too low. Increase the squelch level by pushing [Side 2] and then rotating [ROTARY SELECTOR] clockwise until the noise disappears. There might be activity on the channel. Check if the noise is also heard on other channels. If not, another station may be transmitting on that channel, or you may be receiving interference from other devices.

Why does my Icom IC-41PRO Transceiver transmit regularly?
- J
  Jane RichardsonAug 16, 2025
  If your Icom Transceiver transmits regularly (LED blinks red), the signal strength indicator blinks, and beeps, the ATS (Automatic Transponder System) function may be ON. Hold down [Side 2] for 2 seconds to turn the ATS function OFF.
