Why distorted noise is heard when earphone is used on Icom ID-51A?
If a distorted noise is heard when using the earphone with your Icom Transceiver, the earphone mode may be OFF. Turn ON the earphone mode.
How to fix Icom ID-51A if it does not turn ON?
If your transceiver doesn't turn on, the battery may be exhausted (charge or replace the batteries), the battery polarity may be reversed (check the battery polarity in the case), or there may be a loose connection of a battery pack (case) (clean the battery terminals).
What to do if Icom Transceiver frequency cannot be set?
If the frequency cannot be set, the Key Lock function may be activated (hold down [LOCK] for 1 second to cancel it), or the memory mode, Call channel mode, Weather channel mode, or DR function is selected (push [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode).
Why does my Icom Transceiver repeater reply ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the access repeater’s call sign after my call?
If the repeater replies ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the access repeater’s call sign after your call, your own call sign (MY) may not have been set (set your own call sign (MY)), or your own call sign (MY) may not have been registered on a gateway repeater, or the registered contents do not match your transceiver’s setting (register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway repeater, or confirm the registration of the call sign).
What does 'L' on the LCD of Icom ID-51A mean?
If 'L' appears on the LCD after transmitting, while receiving through the internet, some packets may be lost due to network error. Wait a while and try it again. When the transceiver receives corrupted data and misidentifies it as packet loss, 'L' is displayed, even if it is a local area call.
What to do if the SUB band audio signal is muted on Icom ID-51A?
If the SUB band audio signal is muted, the combination of operating band and mode may be incorrect. In this case, change the settings.
Why program scan does not start on Icom ID-51A?
If a Program Scan does not start on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that you are not in memory mode, Call channel mode, Weather channel mode, or DR mode. Push [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode. Also, ensure that different frequencies are programmed in the scan edge channels, “?A” and “?B,” and that one or more pairs of scan edge channels have been programmed.
What to do if Icom ID-51A replies ‘UR?’ after my call?
If the Icom Transceiver replies ‘UR?’ after your call, wait for a while and try again.
Why Icom Transceiver position data cannot be received?
Position data may not be received if an external GPS is selected in the GPS SET item on the Menu screen, but an external GPS receiver is not connected. Connect an external GPS receiver. Alternatively, select either INTERNAL GPS or EXTERNAL GPS in the GPS Set item on the Menu screen. Also, move until the GPS signal is received.
Why is no reply received after a call on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If you are not receiving a reply after making a call on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that the duplex is not set, and the receive and transmit frequencies are not different.
