How to fix the non-functioning [ANT] switch on Icom IC-7600?
To make the [ANT] switch function on your Icom Transceiver, set the antenna switch in set mode to 'Auto' or 'Manual.'
How to fix Icom IC-7600 Transceiver programmed scan that does not stop?
If the programmed scan on your Icom Transceiver does not stop, it could be because the squelch is open. To fix this, set the [RF/SQL] control to the threshold.
What to do if memory scan does not start on Icom Transceiver?
If the memory scan does not start on your Icom Transceiver, it may be because fewer than 2 memory channels have been programmed. To resolve this, program more than 2 memory channels.
Why is the output power too low on my Icom IC-7600 Transceiver?
If you're experiencing low output power on your Icom Transceiver, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the [RF POWER] control is rotated clockwise. Next, verify that the drive gain level and [MIC GAIN] control are set to suitable levels. Also, confirm that you've selected an antenna appropriate for the operating frequency and that the antenna is properly tuned by pushing and holding [TUNER] for 1 second to manually tune it.
Why is the received audio unclear or distorted on my Icom Transceiver?
If you're getting unclear or distorted received audio on your Icom Transceiver, try these solutions. First, select a suitable operating mode. If the PBT function is activated, push and hold [PBT-CLR] for 1 second to reset it. Turn the noise blanker OFF by pushing [NB] if it's ON while receiving a strong signal. If the preamp is activated, push [P.AMP] (MF3) once or twice to turn it OFF. Finally, adjust the [NR] control for maximum readability if noise reduction is activated.
What to do if no contact can be made with another station on Icom Transceiver?
If you're unable to make contact with another station using your Icom Transceiver, check if the RIT or ?TX function is activated and turn it OFF by pushing [RIT] or [?TX]. Also, ensure that the split frequency function and/or dualwatch are not activated by pushing [SPLIT] and/or [DUALWATCH] to turn them OFF.
What to do if format error appears when formatting in FAT on Icom IC-7600?
If a format error appears when formatting in FAT, it means the inserted USB-Memory capacity is larger than 2 GB. Insert a USB-Memory smaller than 2 GB, or select the FAT32 format.
How to turn off the screen saver on Icom IC-7600?
If the screen saver is displaying the IC-7600 with a “bound,” “rotating” or “twisting” configuration, it means the screen saver function is activated. To resolve this, simply operate the transceiver. Alternatively, you can set the screen saver function in the set mode to “OFF.”
Why is transmitting impossible on my Icom Transceiver?
If your Icom Transceiver is not transmitting, make sure that the operating frequency is within a ham band. If it is not, set the frequency to be in a ham band.
Why is there no sound from the speaker on my Icom IC-7600 Transceiver?
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, make sure the volume level is not too low by rotating the [AF] control clockwise. Also, ensure the squelch is open by rotating the [RF/SQL] control to the 11 o’clock position. If the transceiver is in transmit, push [TRANSMIT] to receive, or check the SEND line of an external unit if one is connected.
