What to do if program scan does not operate on Icom IC-R1500 Receiver?
If the program scan on your Icom Receiver isn't working, it could be due to: * The squelch being open. Set the squelch to the threshold point. * The start and end frequencies being the same. Set different frequencies.
What to do if memory scan does not operate on Icom IC-R1500 Receiver?
If the memory scan on your Icom Receiver isn't working, possible causes include: * The squelch being open. Set the squelch to the threshold point. * Only 1 memory channel is programmed or other channels are set as skip channel. Program other memory channels or cancel the memory skip function in the desired channels.
Why is there no sound coming from my Icom Receiver?
There are several reasons why you might not be hearing any sound from your Icom Receiver: * The volume level may be too low. Adjust the [VOL] knob to increase the volume. * The squelch level may be set too high. Adjust the [SQL] knob to properly set the squelch level. * A different tone may be selected when tone or DTCS squelch is activated. Turn the appropriate function OFF.
What to do if my Icom IC-R1500 Receiver frequency cannot be set?
If you cannot set the frequency on your Icom Receiver, the lock function may be activated. To deactivate it, push and hold the [SET•LOCK] button for 1 second.
Why is the sensitivity low on my Icom IC-R1500 Receiver and only strong signals are audible?
The low sensitivity on your Icom Receiver could be due to a couple of things: * There might be a poor connection or short circuit in the antenna feedline or connector. Check the connection, and if needed, replace the feedline or resolder the antenna connector. * The attenuator function may be activated. Push the [ATT•PRIO] button to turn the Attenuator function OFF.
How to fix distorted receive audio on Icom IC-R1500 Receiver?
If the receive audio on your Icom Receiver is distorted, it could be because the operating mode is not selected correctly. To fix this, push and hold [TS•MODE] for 1 second, then rotate [DIAL] to select a suitable operating mode.
How to troubleshoot an Icom Receiver that does not turn on?
If your Icom Receiver doesn't turn on, check that the AC adapter is properly connected to the receiver.
