If you are not hearing a beep sound on your Icom Receiver, it is possible that the beep tones are turned OFF, or the beep tone level is too low. To resolve this, turn the beep tone ON or set the beep tone level to an appropriate level in set mode.
Why can't I set the frequency on my Icom IC-R20 Receiver?
If you cannot set the frequency on your Icom Receiver, the lock function may be activated. Push [• LOCK] for 1 second to turn the function OFF.
What to do if my Icom IC-R20 sensitivity is low?
If the sensitivity of your Icom Receiver is low and you can only hear strong signals, the attenuator function might be activated. Push [ATT] for 1 second to turn it OFF. Also, if you are in SSB/CW modes, the RF gain setting may be too low. Push [RF GAIN] for 1 second, then rotate [R-DIAL] to select the “MAX” level.
Why is there no sound coming from my Icom Receiver speaker?
If you can't hear any sound from the Icom Receiver's speaker, first check if the volume level is too low. Rotate [R-DIAL] or push [Y] to increase it to a suitable level. Also, the squelch level might be set too tight; while pushing [SQL], rotate [R-DIAL] to adjust the squelch level. Finally, if you're using tone squelch, a different tone may be selected, so turn the appropriate function OFF.
How to fix Icom IC-R20 when no power comes on?
If your Icom Receiver isn't powering on, the batteries may be exhausted. Try replacing them or charging the battery pack. Also, ensure that the battery polarity is correct.
Why doesn't memory or bank scan start on my Icom Receiver?
If the memory or bank scan on your Icom Receiver isn't starting, it's likely because none or only one memory or bank channel is programmed. Make sure to program at least 2 memory or bank channels.
What causes programmed scan not to start on Icom Receiver?
If the programmed scan on your Icom Receiver does not start, it is possible that the program scan edges are not programmed. To resolve this, program a pair of scan edge channels.
Why memory or bank scan does not start on Icom IC-R20?
If the memory or bank scan on your Icom Receiver does not start, it could be because no, or only one, memory or bank channel is programmed. Program at least 2 memory or bank channels.
