      If your West Marine Marine Radio won’t transmit, ensure you are not in Weather or Scan mode. Also, verify that you are not attempting to transmit on a receive-only channel or using the incorrect power level for the channel. Check the battery power level; if it's low, charge it before transmitting. Finally, ensure each transmission lasts less than 5 minutes.
