ICOM A210 aircraft radio transmits but is not recieving

ill suggest your antenna or a connection to it. rx is receive and tx is transmit

You check your radio with other radio very near. If radio is hearing your transmission then it mean that your Radio Power Module not working if very near radio not listening you then your preamplifier and Power amplifier is not working, it mean your Radio Transmitter faulty, only Receiver is working, you consult with any Radio Service shop. One other thing if you have software also check Tx/Rx frequency it must be same for simplex operation.

Contact Icom tech support, or check on Mods.dk. You probably need to do a "factory reset" to get the radio into a condition where you can do anything with it.

Great advice, Robert.

This is likely the result of a high current draw, ie too high for the battery capacity, which could be simple partially discharged batteries. Have you tried transmitting on low power? Does that make a difference?

It would appear from the voltage that you are using rechargeable batteries such as NiMH which have a lower full charge voltage than alkaline cells. Though I have never used the A6, I do have several Icom handhelds, amateur and marine and they work fine using the NiMH cells, though it is possible that alkalines may help--it's worth a try.

If none of the above makes a difference it would appear that something in the transmitter circuits is drawing too much current. A likely suspect (unfortunately) is the power transistor. Ouch. Good luck. Let us know what you find.

upon what frequency are you trying to transmit?

Perhaps the radio is blocked from trying to TX on said frequency.

What happens if you "key up" and "let off" and the transmitter "hangs", you remove the microphone plug from the Cobra ?
Will it still be transmitting or will it stop ?
If it stops, the problem is in the microphone with a "hanging" switch which you can easily clean or replace.
Iif it keeps transmitting while the mike is disconnected, there is a problem with the Rx/Tx switching circuit. This needs further investigation by use of a circuit diagram.

the two radios are on different CTCSS Tones

Check the squelch on your radio thats not recieving. If there is a monitor button ( when pushed you will hear static) try pushing it.. then get someone to call you so you can check if you can hear them. On these radios you have 2 types of squelch....1 is called carrier squelch.... it basically opens when there is a strong enough signal. This lets you only hear strong signals and "squelch out" the distant ones and background static. The2nd. is "tone squelch" ... with your radio they are often called privacy tones. If you have 2 radios set with the same privacy tones you will only be able to hear each other... only radios that are transmitting with that privacy tone will be heard on your radio. Its a high frequency tone that can't be hear by the human ear that gets "embeded" with the transmitting signal. The recieving radio hears it and opens the squelch. So... if the radio thats rxing (recieving)your signal has its squelch set for just carrier squelch it will hear any signal thats strong enough to break the squech open.... basicaly any radio within a certain range. But if your radio (one with problem) has its squelch set for privacy tones you will not hear any other radios except the ones set with the same privacy tone.... the squelch will not open until it gets a tx signal with the right tone.... so if the txing (transmitting) radio is not using tone squelch but is using carrier squelch.... and the rxing radio is set for tone squelch... the rxing radio will not hear it. With tone (privacy tones/codes) squelch you need a tone to open the squelch and then the audio can be heard... with carrier squelch the squelch will open if ANY radio is within a certain range. Check the squelch setting on the problem radio... it could have a privacy tone set. Try pushing in the monitor button so you can hear static ( you want to hear everything including static) on both radios... tx on one radio at a time and listen if it can be heard on the other with the monitor button pushed. If you can't hear any audio when the broken one is transmitting then it COULD be the mic.... if you can hear both radios with the monitor button activated than the radios are txing and have tx audio and are working... if thats the case its the privacy tones that are the problem. Take care
