Why is transmitting impossible on my Icom Transceiver?
If transmitting is impossible with your Icom Transceiver, first, replace the exhausted batteries or charge the battery pack. Then, ensure that the frequency is set within the 144/440 MHz amateur bands; if it is outside, reset it.
What to do if Icom Transceiver memory scan function cannot start?
If the memory scan function on your Icom Transceiver cannot start and the displayed frequency is erroneous, push [M/CALL] to set memory mode if VFO mode or call channel is selected.
