I have an Icom F1721 with a RMK2 remote mount. The audio coming out of the remote head is extremely low even at full volume. I have checked both ribbon cables and they are working properly. When the head is connected directly to the radio the audio and volume operates as it should. I even tried...

Hello, I recently got IC-1721 off of ebay for ham use (analog), Rx/Tx very well but does not scan, given that I have properly programmed scan lists into the radio. I just upgraded to the latest firmware 3.1 and that did not fix the problem. Any idea why? I'd appreciate your feedback.

Hi all, Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong area here, this is my first post. Feel free to move it if need be. I have an older IC400PRO here in Australia that is just used for a personal CB. My car stereo has a mute input signal on it (unsure whether this is +12V or GND at this stage), and I...

Hello to the forum, new here but been a ham since 1979. I am interested in trying out Dstar (considering the ID-51A plus), but before I pony up for a radio, was interested in getting some feedback from others on Dstar real world usage experiences. I am wondering if there is really much "CQ CQ...

Hello all, quick question. On my F-70, I have it set up to have scan enabled at power on. Whenever I key up the mic, it turns scan off, requiring it to be manually turned back on. This is moderately annoying, and potentially problematic due to my service covering such a large area that we are...
