Why can't I start the program scan function on my Icom Transceiver?
The program scan function on your Icom Transceiver might not start if a memory or call channel is selected. Push [VFO/MHz] to set VFO mode. It also will not start if memory mode is selected. Ensure you are programming different frequencies to “?A” and “?B” respectively.
Why won't the memory scan function start on my Icom IC-91A Transceiver?
If the memory scan function won't start on your Icom Transceiver, it could be because VFO mode is selected. Push [MR/S.MW] to set memory mode. Also, make sure you have programmed more than 2 memory channels, as the function will not start if only one is programmed.
What to do if the frequency cannot be set on my Icom IC-91A Transceiver?
If the frequency cannot be set on your Icom Transceiver, it may be because the lock function is activated. Push [MENU/LOCK] for 1 second to cancel the function. Alternatively, memory mode or call channel may be selected; push [VFO] to set VFO mode.
Why is my Icom IC-91A Transceiver not turning on?
Your Icom Transceiver might not be turning on because the batteries are exhausted. Replace the batteries or charge the battery pack. Alternatively, the battery polarity could be reversed, so check the battery polarity.
Why is transmitting impossible on my Icom IC-91A Transceiver?
If transmitting is impossible on your Icom Transceiver, it could be due to exhausted batteries. Try replacing the batteries or charging the battery pack. It may also be caused by a frequency set outside of the 144/440 MHz amateur bands. Reset the frequency within the correct bands.
What to do if there is no sound from the speaker of my Icom Transceiver?
If you're not getting any sound from your Icom Transceiver's speaker, first check that the volume level isn't too low by rotating [VOL] to a suitable level. Also, verify that a different tone isn't selected with tone/DTCS squelch; check the tone using tone/DTCS scan.
What to do if the displayed frequency is not correct on my Icom Transceiver?
If the displayed frequency is not correct on your Icom Transceiver, the CPU may be malfunctioning. Reset the transceiver. Also, re-attach the battery pack or battery case.
Why BC-139 LED blinks orange when charging Icom IC-91A Transceiver battery?
If the BC-139 LED blinks orange when charging your Icom Transceiver battery, it may be because the transceiver’s power is ON. Turn the transceiver’s power OFF, or insert the battery pack only into BC-139 to charge it.
How to fix an Icom IC-91A that won't power on?
If your Icom Transceiver does not power on, the batteries may be exhausted. Replace the batteries or charge the battery pack. Also, check the battery polarity to ensure it is correct.
