What to do if Icom IC-M423 has no sound?
If you're experiencing little to no sound from your Icom Transceiver's speaker, there are a few potential causes. First, the squelch level might be set too high; try setting the squelch to the threshold point. Alternatively, the volume level could be set too low; adjust the volume to a suitable level. Finally, if the speaker has been exposed to water, use the AquaQuake function to remove it.
Why Icom IC-M423 won't transmit or select high power?
If your Icom Transceiver is unable to transmit or select high power, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Some channels might be programmed for low power or receive-only operation due to regulations; in this case, try changing channels. Another possibility is that the output power is set to low; push the [HI/LO] button to select high power.
How to fix Icom Transceiver that does not turn on?
If your Icom Transceiver doesn't turn on, the problem might be a bad connection to the power supply. Check the connection between the transceiver and the power supply to ensure it's properly connected.
What to do if my Icom Transceiver has no beep sounds?
If your Icom Transceiver isn't producing any beep sounds, it's likely that the beep tones are turned OFF. To resolve this, turn the beep tones ON in the CONFIGURATION menu.
Why Icom Transceiver cannot transmit distress calls?
If you're unable to transmit distress calls with your Icom Transceiver, the MMSI (DSC self ID) code might not be programmed. Program the MMSI (DSC self ID) code to enable distress call transmission.
