Why doesn't a memory scan start on my Icom ID-31A?
If a memory scan does not start on the Icom Transceiver, the VFO mode or Call channel mode may be selected. Push [M/CALL] to select the memory mode. Also, only one or no memory channel may have been programmed; program two or more memory channels.
Why won't the received call sign set to the operating call sign on my Icom ID-31A?
If, even when holding down, the received call sign will not set to the operating call sign on your Icom Transceiver, the call sign has not been correctly received. Try it again after the transceiver has again received its call sign.
What to do if Icom ID-31A Transceiver received call sign will not set to the operating call sign?
If the received call sign will not set to the operating call sign, the call sign has not been correctly received. Try it again, after the transceiver has again received its call sign.
What to do if Icom ID-31A repeater does not transmit a reply after my call?
If the repeater does not transmit a reply after your call, it could be due to a wrong repeater setting. Ensure you set the correct repeater. Alternatively, the transceiver might be out of the repeater range, or your transmission isn't reaching the repeater. In this case, correct the repeater frequency, frequency offset, or duplex setting. You might also try accessing another repeater.
What to do if Icom Transceiver repeater replies ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of its gateway repeater after your call?
If the repeater replies with ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of its gateway repeater after your call, it may be because your MY call sign has not been set. In this case, set the MY call sign. Also, your own call sign might not be registered to the D-STAR Server, or it could be incorrect. Register your own call sign to the D-STAR Server, or confirm the registration of your own call sign. Finally, your calling station call sign might not be registered to the D-STAR Server, or it could be wrong. You should ask the server’s administrator about your calling station’s call sign.
What to do if the Icom Transceiver simplex operation cannot be made in the DR mode?
If simplex operation cannot be made in the DR mode, it might be because a call sign is programmed in the “CALL SIGN” of the Repeater list. Delete the Call sign in the “CALL SIGN” setting of the Repeater list. Another possible cause is that Duplex mode (DUP+, DUP–) is set. Select “OFF” in the “DUP” setting of the repeater list. Finally, a repeater frequency might be programmed. Program a simplex frequency instead.
What to do if Icom ID-31A repeater replies ‘RPT?’ and call sign of the called repeater after your call?
If the repeater replies ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of the called repeater after your call, the D-STAR cannot connect to the called repeater, or it’s busy. Wait for a while, and try it again.
Why does my Icom Transceiver repeater reply ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of the called repeater?
If, after your call, the repeater replies ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of the called repeater, the D-STAR cannot connect to the called repeater, or it’s busy. Wait for a while, and try it again.
What does it mean when my Icom ID-31A Transceiver repeater replies ‘UR?’ and its call sign?
If, after your call, the repeater replies ‘UR?’ and its call sign, the call was successfully sent, but no station’s signal was immediately received. Wait for a while and try again.
Why is there no sound coming from my Icom Transceiver speaker?
If no sound comes from the Icom Transceiver speaker, the volume level may be too low, so rotate [VOL] to adjust it. Also, check if an external speaker or cloning cable is connected to the [SP] jack and, if so, check the connection or remove the cable.
