      Holly MillerAug 1, 2025
      If the Icom Transceiver displays 'L' on the LCD and the received audio is interrupted, it's likely due to packet loss from a network error during internet reception. The suggested solution is to wait a while and try again.

      Melissa GarciaAug 11, 2025
      If your Icom Transceiver does not return a status reply after your call, several factors could be at play. The repeater setting might be incorrect; if so, select the correct repeater. Your transmission may not be reaching the repeater; in that case, correct the repeater frequency, frequency offset, or duplex setting. You can also try waiting until you are closer to the repeater, or try to access another repeater.

    Why can't I make a Gateway call on my Icom ID-5100E?
    • J
      Jennifer BrownAug 26, 2025
      If a local area call can be made, but a Gateway call or destination station call cannot be made on your Icom Transceiver, your call sign (MY) may not be registered at a D-STAR repeater. Register your call sign (MY) on a D-STAR repeater, or confirm the registration of the call sign.
