      If your Uniden Marine Radio's Tx icon lights up and another radio hears a click when the PTT button is pressed, but no audio is transmitted, it may be due to a bad mic element. In this case, send the radio in for repair.

      If the Tx light illuminates and another radio only hears a 'click' when the PTT button is pressed, but no audio is transmitted, it indicates a bad mic element. The suggested solution is to send the radio in for repair.

      Your Uniden Marine Radio might be stopping on the same channel repeatedly during scanning due to a nearby source of noise. Try to eliminate the source of the noise. Alternatively, you can delete the channel from the scanner's memory.

      This issue occurs due to low current or voltage. To resolve it, connect your radio to a 12VDC power source that can supply at least 4 Amps.

      If your Uniden Marine Radio consistently stops on a particular channel during scanning, it's likely due to a nearby source of noise or an external noise generated by some device. Try to eliminate the source of the noise or delete the channel from the scanner.
