      If transmitting is impossible on your Icom Transceiver, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the battery is exhausted and charge or replace it if needed. Second, TX permission may be inhibited on the channel; in this case, ask your dealer to set the TX Inhibit function to OFF. Finally, the Lockout function might be activated, so ensure it is turned OFF.

      Your Icom Transceiver might not be turning on due to several reasons: the battery could be exhausted, in which case you should charge or replace it. Alternatively, the battery polarity may be reversed, so check the battery polarity. It is also possible that there's a loose connection of the battery pack or case, so try cleaning the battery terminals.

      If no sound is coming from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, first, make sure the volume level isn't too low by rotating the [VOL] knob to adjust it. Also, check if an external speaker or a cloning cable is connected to the [SP] jack, and disconnect them to see if that resolves the issue.

      Patricia BaileyAug 14, 2025
      If you're unable to transmit using the VOX function on your Icom Transceiver, it could be due to a few reasons: the VOX gain might be set to OFF or too low, so adjust it to a suitable level. Also, the microphone gain could be too low, so increase it. Finally, TX permission may be inhibited on the channel, so ask your dealer to set the TX Inhibit function to OFF.
