If the program scan function on your Icom Transceiver won't start, it could be because Memory mode or call channel is selected. Push [V/MHz] to set the VFO mode. Another possibility is that the same frequencies are programmed in both “1A” and “1B” of PROGRAM-CH. Program different frequencies in “1A” and “1B” respectively.
Why is there no sound coming from my Icom Transceiver speaker?
If no sound is coming from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, first, ensure that the volume isn't set too low by pressing [²] or [³] to adjust it to a suitable level. Also, check if an external speaker is connected or a cloning cable is inserted, as these can redirect the audio output. Disconnect them to restore sound to the transceiver's speaker.
How to fix an Icom IC-E80D that will not power ON?
If your Icom Transceiver won't power on, there are a few potential causes. First, the batteries might be exhausted, so try replacing them or charging the battery pack. Second, check for loose connections of the battery pack and ensure the battery terminals are clean. Finally, verify that the battery polarity is correct.
What to do if my Icom IC-E80D Transceiver is not transmitting?
If transmitting is impossible with your Icom Transceiver, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The batteries may be exhausted, so try replacing them or charging the battery pack. Alternatively, the frequency might be set outside of the 144/430 MHz amateur bands. If this is the case, reset the frequency within the correct amateur bands.
Why is no contact possible with another station on my Icom IC-E80D Transceiver?
If you cannot make contact with another station using your Icom Transceiver, it may be because a different tone is selected with tone/DTCS squelch. Check the tone/DTCS settings using the tone scan function to ensure they match the other station's settings.
Why memory scan function cannot start on my Icom Transceiver?
If the memory scan function on your Icom Transceiver won't start, it could be because the VFO mode or call channel is selected. Push [M/CALL] to select memory mode. It is also possible that only one memory channel is programmed. Program 2 or more memory channels.
What causes the displayed frequency to be erroneous on Icom IC-E80D?
If the displayed frequency on your Icom Transceiver is incorrect, it could be due to a CPU malfunction or external factors causing a fault. Try resetting the transceiver. If that doesn't work, remove and reattach the battery pack or battery case.
What to do if Icom IC-E80D battery cannot be charged with BC-139 (LED blinks orange)?
If you cannot charge the battery of your Icom Transceiver with the BC-139 charger and the LED blinks orange, it could be because the transceiver's power is ON. Turn the transceiver’s power OFF, or insert only the battery pack into the BC-139 to charge it. It may also mean that the battery pack experienced a fault electric discharge, in that case the battery pack should be charged alone (without the transceiver) or regular charge is carried out.
