  Curtis YoderAug 17, 2025
  If your Icom Transceiver's frequency cannot be set via the microphone, it might be due to several reasons. First, check if the frequency lock function is activated and deactivate it by pushing [SET(LOCK)] for 1 second. Another possibility is that the microphone keypad lock function is activated; you can deactivate it by pushing [FUNC] then [#(16KEY-L)]. Finally, the priority watch might be paused on the watching frequency; push [M/CALL(PRIO)] to cancel the watch.

  uortizAug 25, 2025
  If you're experiencing low sensitivity on your Icom Transceiver and can only hear strong signals, the issue might stem from a poor contact or short circuit in the antenna feedline or antenna connector solder. Inspect these components and, if necessary, replace the feedline or re-solder the antenna connector. Alternatively, the squelch attenuator function could be activated. Adjust the [SQL] to a position between 10 and 12 o’clock.

  Mary WilsonAug 27, 2025
  If you cannot hear any sound from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, there are several possible causes. First, check if the volume is too low and rotate [VOL] clockwise to increase it. Also, the audio mute function might be activated; push any switch or key to deactivate it. Another reason could be that the squelch is set too tight; set the squelch level to the threshold. Lastly, a selective call or squelch function, like pocket beep or tone squelch, may be activated; turn the appropriate function OFF.

Why does scan not operate on Icom Transceiver?
- E
  elizabethalvarezAug 30, 2025
  If your Icom Transceiver's scan function isn't working, there are a few things to check. Ensure the squelch is properly set to the threshold point, as an open squelch can prevent scanning. Also, verify that you have more than one memory channel programmed and that other channels are not set as skip channels; program additional channels or cancel the memory skip function on the desired channels. Finally, if priority watch is activated, cancel the watch to allow the scan function to operate.
