How to fix a West Marine VHF 150 Marine Radio that won't power on?
If your West Marine Marine Radio won't power on, the issue might be a low or discharged battery. Try recharging the lithium-ion battery, replacing it, or using alkaline batteries temporarily.
What to do if the other radio cannot hear me on my West Marine VHF 150 Marine Radio?
If you can hear transmissions on your West Marine Marine Radio, but the other radio cannot hear you, it might be due to the transmit power being set too low. Use the 1/2.5/5W key to select a higher transmit power setting.
Why doesn't the SCAN key work on my West Marine VHF 150?
If the SCAN key on your West Marine Marine Radio does not start the scan function, it could be because no channels are in the scan memory. Use the MEM/SCAN key to enter desired channels into the scan memory. Alternatively, the squelch may not be adjusted correctly; adjust it until the background noise just disappears.
What to do if my West Marine Marine Radio keeps stopping on the same channel while scanning?
If, while scanning, your West Marine Marine Radio stops on a particular channel all the time, a source of noise might be nearby. Turn the Squelch clockwise to reduce noise so that the scan function skips the channel.
Why can't I change the transmit power setting on my West Marine Marine Radio?
If you're unable to change the transmit power setting on your West Marine Marine Radio, it's likely because you're on a channel limited to 1 watt transmit power (like Ch. 13) or a receive-only channel (like WX). Change to an unrestricted TX/RX channel.
