What to do if desired channel cannot be selected on Icom IC-M59?
If you cannot select the desired channel on your Icom Transceiver, a different channel group may be selected. Push and hold [CH/WX • U/I/C] to select the appropriate channel group (U.S.A., INT or CAN).
Why Icom IC-M59 has no power?
If your Icom Transceiver isn't powering on, the power cord may not be properly connected, so check its connection. Also, a blown fuse could be the cause. In that case, check the polarity of the power connection and replace the fuse.
Why is the Icom IC-M59 Transceiver sensitivity low?
If the sensitivity of your Icom Transceiver is low, and only strong signals are audible, the [SQUELCH] may be rotated too far clockwise. Try rotating it counterclockwise to a suitable position. Also, the antenna feedline or the antenna connector solder may have poor contact or be short-circuited. Inspect and, if necessary, replace the feedline or resolder the antenna connector.
