PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
REF.
Even holding down
[RX→CS], the
received call sign
will not set to the
destination call sign.
The call sign has not been
correctly received.
Try it again, after the
transceiver has correctly
received the call sign.
—
When a received signal is
weak, or a signal is received
during scanning, the call
sign may not be received
correctly. In that case, “----
----” is displayed and error
beeps sound, and a reply
call cannot be made.
A Local area call
can be made, but
the Gateway call or
destination station call
cannot be made.
MY call sign has not been
registered on a D-STAR
repeater.
Register your own call sign
(MY) on a gateway repeater,
or confirm the registration of
the call sign.
The repeater set in “FROM”
(Access Repeater) has no
Gateway.
Check the repeater settings.
—
“L” is displayed on the
LCD.
While receiving through
the internet, some packets
may be lost due to network
error (poor data throughput
performance).
Wait a while, and try it again.
When the transceiver
receives corrupted data,
and misidentifies it is
as packet loss, “L” is
displayed, even if it is a
Local area call.
—
“DV” and “FM” icons
alternately blink.
While in the DV mode, an
FM signal is received.
Use a different operating
frequency until there are no
FM signals on the original
frequency.

Updating the repeater list
For easy operation, a repeater list is preloaded into your transceiver.
You can download the repeater list from the Icom website.
NOTE:
•Before using a microSD card, see page 25 for details of a card.
•See “Updating the repeater list” that can be downloaded from the Icom website about how
to update the repeater list using a microSD card.
