    Why is the received audio unclear in SSB mode on my Icom Transceiver?
    • H
      Henry WilkinsSep 13, 2025
      If the received audio in SSB mode is unclear or distorted on your Icom Transceiver, the incorrect sideband may be selected. Try toggling between USB and LSB. It's also possible that the PBT function is activated; hold down TWIN PBT CLR to clear the settings.

    Why can't I contact another station with my Icom Transceiver?
    • T
      Todd WoodsSep 12, 2025
      If you cannot contact another station with your Icom Transceiver, even though receiving and transmitting appear successful, the Split function may be activated, causing transmit and receive frequencies to differ. Push the SPLIT button to turn OFF this function. Alternatively, the RIT function or the ?TX function might be ON, also setting different receive or transmit frequencies; push RIT or TX to turn OFF these functions.

    What causes a high antenna SWR on an Icom Transceiver?
    • T
      Tracy OconnellSep 12, 2025
      If the antenna SWR is too high on your Icom Transceiver, it could be that the antenna is not properly tuned. Adjust the antenna SWR to be less than 3. Also, ensure you are using a coaxial cable with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω.

    What to do if my Icom Transceiver displays “OVF”?
    • S
      Steven FranklinSep 4, 2025
      If your Icom Transceiver displays “OVF,” it means an excessively strong signal is being received. Try rotating the AF RF/SQL (outer) dial counter-clockwise. If this doesn't help, turn ON the attenuator.
