How to fix transmitting using VOX function on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If you cannot transmit using the VOX function on your Icom Transceiver, the VOX Level may be set to OFF or too low; set it to a suitable level. Also, the MIC Gain may be too low; set the MIC Gain to a suitable level.
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 is transmitting impossible with my Icom Transceiver?
If you cannot transmit with your Icom Transceiver, first ensure that the transmit power level isn't set too low (S-LOW, LOW1, or LOW2); if it is, set it to HIGH. Check the battery; if it's exhausted, charge or replace it. If you're using a battery case, switch to the battery pack or external DC power and set the power level to HIGH. Finally, verify that the PTT Lock and Busy Lockout functions are deactivated in the Function Menu.
How to fix no sound from the speaker on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
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.
