      If the scan function on your Icom Transceiver does not start, it could be due to several reasons: * All memory channels in the selected bank are not programmed as “TAG” channels. Set the “TAG” settings of desired channels. * The squelch is open. Set the squelch level to tighten. * There are not more than 2 memorized channels. Program 2 or more memory channels.
