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.
