I find it difficult to read a particular station on my Icom 718 HF Base Transceiver.

Thanks. In my Icom 718, I find it very difficult to receive signals from one of my sub station, all other stations can receive from this station in question but I can't. What should I do?

IS this a frequency issue? A modulation issue? You dont have enough information on the problem. The radio receives other signals fine? What is the frequency and mode?

I finds very difficult to read a particular station in my icom 718

Hi,

please move the radio away from it's current position to attempt to find alternative position where it's frequency will be transmitted clearly as intended. Also, please keep away from any microwaves or speakers so as not to cause any interference. Thank you.

It stuck in squeck mode when you turn it on

Start with simple things first. If using a hand mic, ground it as if it were hung up in a vehicle. Now look for the squelch knob, it likely does more than 1 thing. Try it all the way clockwise, then counter clockwise as you turn it on. Please let us know on your progress.

Transceiver fails to go into transmit when keyed. Receive works great.

Hallo iam using a icom 718 on 28mhz up to 14mhz have a problem of a high swr reading but the antenna is fine then power drop away

Check the feedline to the antenna, and the antenna itself. High SWR means that power is being reflected back from the antenna. A good discussion of SWR may be found here: http://www.hamuniverse.com/wc7iswr.html

If you antenna is designed for 10M and your are trying to transmit 20M on it, there will be a significant mis-match. You may want to look at installing a better broadband antenna, such as an OCFD that will operate better on multiple bands.

What is this? my Icom IC-F4029SDR displays 'sorry'

It appears that the radio has been locked out from service. Return it to whom you got it from.

From pg 35 of the manual:
D D Stun and Revive
The dispatcher can send MDC 1200 signals that will stun or
revive your transceiver. If a Stun command is received that
matches your station ID, the transceiver will display "SORRY"
and you can not receive or transmit. When a Revive com-
mand is received that matches your station ID, normal operation is restored.

Anyone ever had issue connecting a Nextech wireless Bluetooth 4.1 Headset to a PC? Hi everyone. I have a headset that use to work correctly in the past. I did lose my Bluetooth connection from time to time but pairing it again use to revolve the issue. This time though it did not work and what actually happened is that the pairing seems to work and even shows on the Bluetooth menu that the device is connected, but when I go to the "Playback Device" the device does not appear anymore. So I cannot even enable/disable it nor can I select "connect". I have tried multiple things such as updating various drivers, (including Bluetooth) but still cannot manage to have any sound coming out from my headset or from the mic (it's a headset with a mic) Any help would be welcome as I cannot use it anymore at this time.
