If you can't hear any sound from the speaker, first, ensure the volume isn't too low by pushing the [VOLY] button to increase it to a suitable level. Also, if tone squelch is activated, a different tone might be selected. Check the tone using the tone scan feature.
How to fix Icom IC-R2 Receiver receive audio distortion?
If the receive audio is distorted, the operating mode may not be correctly selected. You should select a suitable operating mode in the set mode.
What to do if the Icom Receiver frequency cannot be set?
If you're unable to set the frequency, it could be due to the lock function being activated. To deactivate it, push [FUNC] + [(MODE)LOCK]. Alternatively, the channel indication mode might be on. Turn the channel indication mode OFF in set mode.
What to do if the Icom IC-R2 does not power ON?
If your device isn't powering on, the batteries may be exhausted; replace them. Also, verify the battery polarity is correct.
Why can't I select a set mode item on my Icom IC-R2?
If you cannot select a desired set mode item, it may be located in the expanded set mode. Turn the expanded set mode ON. Also, some set mode items cannot be selected in the broadcast band; choose a band other than the broadcast band.
How to enable beeps on Icom IC-R2 Receiver?
If no beeps are sounding, the beep tones may be turned OFF. Turn beep tones ON in set mode.
