      If the scan function on your Icom Transceiver isn't starting, consider these potential causes: 1. Ensure that all memory channels in the selected bank are programmed as “TAG” channels, and if not, set the “TAG” settings of desired channels. 2. If the squelch is open, set the squelch level to tighten it. 3. If there are less than two memorized channels, program two or more memory channels.
