First, what model radio? And you DID read the radio first,and SAVE'd that 'code plug' in a safe place?

Programmed for trunking, no, they won't transmit until a call is received. Then you have a timeout to respond.
Exception is emergency on that priority channel.
Conventional channels in scan will stop the scan and transmit if not busied lockout.
This reverts to channel one without a priority channel specified.
Surely the issue is your new code plug and do hope you backed up the original to a safe place.

Exactly,

yes i saved codeplug but i played around with it so much that i screwed something up the radio is a mobile ic-f2821d p25 , im not use to doing these i thought it was same as motorola. im sure you guys can help me seems icom is a little tricky to program im using revision 2.2 and a icom cable.

Yea, I do that a lot, especially with Erisson. Might be easier sitting down with the programming manuals, do a worksheet and program from scratch. All the major and minor platforms have their different how to's. Sort of a learning curve.
One successful codeplug will be like 'well that wasn't so hard'.
Like baby steps, start small and build on it, before long, you are running.
You learned Motorola, you can learn Icom.
