Why is there no sound coming from my Icom IC-A24 Transceiver speaker?
If no sound is coming from the speaker, the squelch level may be set too deep. Try setting the squelch to the threshold point. Alternatively, the volume level may be too low; adjust the [VOL] to a suitable level.
What to do if my Icom Transceiver won't turn on?
If your device isn't powering on, the battery may be exhausted; try recharging it. Also, check the battery pack connection to the transceiver to ensure it's secure. If you are using the CP-20, the fuse may be blown; check the cause and replace the fuse with a new one.
Why is transmitting impossible on my Icom IC-A24 Transceiver?
If you cannot transmit, it may be because WX channels or the NAV band is selected. Set the device to COM band in frequency mode. Alternatively, the battery may be exhausted; in this case, recharge the battery pack.
How to fix an Icom IC-A24 that won't turn on?
If your Icom Transceiver isn't powering on, it might be due to an exhausted battery. Try recharging the battery pack. Also, check the battery pack connection to the transceiver to ensure it's properly connected.
What to do if my Icom IC-A24 Transceiver is not transmitting?
If your Icom Transceiver won't transmit, it could be because you're on a receive-only channel. Try changing to a different channel. Also, ensure the battery is not exhausted by recharging it.
Why won't the scan start on my Icom Transceiver?
If the scan function on your Icom Transceiver doesn't start, it might be because not all memory channels are programmed as “TAG” channels. Set the “TAG” settings for the channels you want to include in the scan.
