Why is my Kenwood TH-D75E unable to transmit?
If your Kenwood Transceiver is unable to transmit, check if TX Inhibit is activated and, if so, set it to OFF. Also, ensure the transmission frequency is within the allowed range; if not, change it to a valid frequency.
What to do if Kenwood TH-D75E power is on but display is blank?
If your Kenwood Transceiver's power turns on but nothing appears on the display, Automatic Power Off (APO) might be active. Turn OFF the power supply, then turn it ON again. Also, the power supply may be turned OFF during transmission when the charger and battery are used simultaneously. Note that the charger is intended for charging. Using a regulated DC power supply with the battery avoids restarting the transceiver.
Why is my Kenwood TH-D75E transmission output decreasing?
If your Kenwood Transceiver's transmission output decreases or "H" (high power) is blinking, the temperature protection might be activated, automatically reducing the output. Turn OFF the power supply or remain in the receiving state and wait until the temperature decreases.
How to fix no sound from Kenwood TH-D75E Transceiver speaker?
If your Kenwood Transceiver shows no sound from the speaker, even with the volume up, check if the sound has been muted in Volume Balance; if so, set it to a non-mute volume. Also, ensure the squelch is not closed by lowering its threshold level toward 0. Furthermore, check if CTCSS or DCS are enabled and, if so, set them to OFF. Finally, if the transceiver is paired with a Bluetooth headset, disconnect it to restore sound to the speaker.
Why won't my Kenwood Transceiver power on with DC power supply?
If your Kenwood Transceiver is not turning on when using a regulated DC power supply or cigarette lighter socket, the issue might be a faulty power cable or a bad connection. Check the cable for any abnormalities and ensure the polarity is correct. It's also possible that the power cable fuse has blown out. If this is the case and the fuse blew for reasons unrelated to the transceiver, replace the fuse after repairing the cause.
Why is the display on my Kenwood TH-D75E Transceiver darkening?
If your Kenwood Transceiver's display is dark, it may be due to the temperature of the transceiver rising. To resolve this, turn OFF the power supply or remain in the receiving state and place the transceiver in a cool place.
