Why is there no sound from my Icom IC-M73 Transceiver speaker?
There could be several reasons for this. The squelch level might be too tight, so try setting the squelch to the threshold point. The volume level could also be too low; rotate the [VOL] control to adjust it. If the speaker has been exposed to water, hold down [F] to drain it. Also, check the [SP MIC] connector for water and dry it if necessary.
What to do if my Icom IC-M73 does not turn ON?
If your transceiver isn't turning on, the battery might be depleted. Try recharging the battery pack. Also, check the connection to the battery pack to ensure it's properly connected to the transceiver.
What to do if the Icom IC-M73 does not record or does not record properly?
If your Icom Transceiver does not record or does not record properly, it could be due to the read/write capacity being exceeded (the recording counter displays 100 or more), or the memory is damaged. The memory IC should be replaced. Ask your technical dealer for service.
Why is transmitting impossible on my Icom Transceiver, or why can't I select high power?
If transmitting is impossible or high power cannot be selected on your Icom Transceiver, several factors could be the cause. Some channels are for low power or receive only, so try changing channels. Also, the battery may be exhausted and requires recharging. Verify the battery voltage is correct in case the battery is overcharged. Check if the output power is set to low; push [H/L•LOCK] to select high power. Finally, the transceiver might be overheated; turn it OFF and leave it at room temperature for a while.
How do I turn on the beeps on my Icom IC-M73?
If there are no beeps on your Icom Transceiver, the beep tones may be turned OFF. Set the beep tones to ON (Fix Beep/Preset) in the SET mode.
Why does the “CHARGE” comment blink on my Icom IC-M73 Transceiver?
If the “CHARGE” comment is blinking on your Icom Transceiver, it means the connected battery is depleted. You should recharge the battery pack.
Why is there no sound coming from my Icom IC-M73 speaker?
If you're not getting any sound from your Icom Transceiver speaker, there could be several reasons. The squelch level might be set too high; try adjusting it to the threshold point. Also, check the volume level and increase it if it's too low by rotating [VOL]. If the speaker got wet, hold down [F] to drain any water. Finally, ensure the [SP MIC] connector is dry, as water inside can also cause this issue.
