    Why will my Simrad Axis 250 not transmit on 5W but is OK on 1W?
    • A
      Alan DoyleAug 9, 2025
      If your Simrad Radio will not transmit on 5W but works fine on 1W, it could be due to a low battery charge. When transmitting at full power, the radio draws more current. Recharge the battery to resolve this. Alternatively, some channels may be restricted to low power transmission only; consult your national authority for clarification.

      If the Scan or Memory Scan on your Simrad Radio is locking onto a channel without a signal, it may be due to noise on the channel holding the scan. Try increasing the squelch level. You can also inhibit the channel from the scan.

      If Dual Watch is not being entered on your Simrad Radio, it could be because a priority channel is selected (normally CH16). Select a working channel.
