IC-F50 Problems

Post by Tim »

Hi Folks,

'Upgraded' to the MDC version of the IC-F50 (VHF), and am having some problems.

Was wondering if anyone else is seeing it.

1. When programmed with an MDC codeplug, the radio never goes into battery
save mode. Non-MDC works ok.

2. Scan does not always stop on active channels. Either MDC or Non-MDC codeplug
does this. The radio 'sees' the activity, the LCD displays the active channel, but
the radio does not open squelch.

My dealer cannot see anything wrong with the codeplug & sent to Icom. They said to
return the radios for an 'upgrade'. We did, and they said 'already has 2.3 firmware', and
sent radios back. Still working with dealer. Fortunately, we did NOT upgrade our entire
radio stock.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Tim
