If no sound is coming from the speaker of your Icom Transceiver, first check the volume level and adjust it to a desired level. Also, check if an external speaker or cloning cable is connected to the [SP] jack. Disconnect them to restore sound from the internal speaker.
What to do if position data cannot be received on Icom Transceiver?
If your Icom Transceiver isn't receiving position data, check the GPS settings in the Menu. If 'External GPS' is selected but no external GPS receiver is connected, connect one. If 'OFF' or 'Manual' is selected, switch to either 'Internal GPS' or 'External GPS'. Also, ensure that the transceiver is receiving a GPS signal by moving to a location where the signal is stronger.
Why Icom ID-51A Transceiver does not turn on?
If your Icom Transceiver does not turn on, the battery may be exhausted, so charge or replace it. Ensure the battery polarity is correct in the case. Also, check for loose connections of the battery pack (case) and clean the battery terminals.
Why is the sensitivity too low on my Icom ID-51A?
If the sensitivity of your Icom Transceiver is too low, and only strong signals are audible, check the coaxial cable connection (if you are using an external antenna). The cable may not be connected, or it may be shorted. Replace with a new cable if necessary.
How to fix simplex operation in DR mode on Icom Transceiver?
If you cannot perform simplex operations in DR mode on your Icom Transceiver, it might be because a call sign is programmed in the CALL SIGN of the Repeater list; delete it. Also, check if a duplex mode (DUP+, DUP–) is set; if it is, select “OFF” in the DUP setting of the repeater list. Finally, make sure a repeater frequency is not programmed; set a simplex frequency instead.
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. Set the simplex operation. Also, consider that no station may be in range or on the same frequency; wait for a while and try again.
What to do if repeater does not return status reply on Icom ID-51A?
If the repeater does not return a status reply after your call using the Icom Transceiver, the repeater setting may be wrong, so select the correct repeater. Your transmission may not have reached the repeater, so correct the repeater frequency, frequency offset, or duplex setting. You may also need to get closer to the repeater or try accessing another repeater.
Why a memory scan does not start on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If a Memory Scan does not start on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that the Memory mode is selected by pushing [M/CALL]. Also, make sure that two or more memory channels have been programmed.
Why contacting another station is impossible on Icom ID-51A?
If contacting another station is impossible using your Icom Transceiver, it may be due to a different tone or code being used for the tone/DTCS squelch. Check the tone/DTCS by performing a tone scan.
What to do if no sound comes from the speaker of my Icom ID-51A?
If no sound is coming from the speaker, first, check the volume level and adjust it to a desired level using the [VOL] control. Also, verify if an external speaker or a cloning cable is connected to the [SP] jack. If so, check the external speaker connection or remove the cloning cable.
