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.
How to fix digital code squelch (CSQL) on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If the digital code squelch (CSQL) is not working on your Icom Transceiver, the wrong digital code may be set. Ensure you set the correct digital code.
Why DR mode will not appear on Icom ID-51A?
If the DR mode does not appear even when holding down the appropriate button on your Icom Transceiver, it may be because there is no repeater list in your radio. Reload the repeater list using the CS-51 cloning software, a microSD card, or enter the Repeater list data directly into the transceiver.
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.
Why Gateway call cannot be made on Icom Transceiver?
If you can make a local area call, but not a Gateway or destination station call on your Icom Transceiver, your MY call sign may not be registered on a D-STAR repeater. Register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway repeater, or confirm the registration of the call sign.
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 does RPT mean on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
If the access repeater replies ‘RPT?’ and its call sign after your call on the Icom Transceiver, the call sign of the destination repeater is wrong. Correctly set the destination repeater call sign.
What does L mean on Icom ID-51A Transceiver during transmission?
If “L” appears on the LCD and the received audio is interrupted during transmission on your Icom Transceiver, some packets may be lost due to network error (poor data throughput performance) while receiving through the internet. Wait a while, and try it again.
