      Christopher HarperAug 18, 2025
      The Icom Transceiver may not turn on due to a bad connection to the power supply. Check the connection to the transceiver and power supply. Another possible reason is a blown fuse. If this is the case, repair the problem, and then replace the fuse.

    • C
      Christopher CookAug 21, 2025
      If you experience little or no sound from the Icom Transceiver speaker, it could be due to several reasons: * The squelch level might be set too high. In this case, set the squelch to the threshold point. * The volume level might be set too low. Adjust the volume to a suitable level. * The internal speaker might be off. Turn on the internal speaker.

      eric70Aug 31, 2025
      If you cannot transmit or select high power on your Icom Transceiver, it may be because some channels are set for low power or receive only by regulations. Try changing channels. Alternatively, the output power might be set to low. Push [HI/LO] to select high power.

      If your Icom Transceiver displays “NO POSITION” and “NO TIME”, it could be due to: the GPS antenna not being correctly connected, so check the GPS antenna connection; or the position and time have not been manually entered, so enter the position and time.

      If your Icom Transceiver displays “??” instead of the position and time, it may be because 4 hours have passed since you manually entered the position, or the GPS position is invalid. In either case, enter the position.
