Icom IC-T3H Transceiver F.A.Q.

How do I program frequencies into the Icom IC-T3H transceiver?

To program frequencies, turn on the transceiver, enter the 'VFO' mode, use the keypad to input the desired frequency, and press 'Func' followed by 'MW' to store it in memory.

What should I do if my IC-T3H is not turning on?

First, check the battery to ensure it is charged and properly connected. If the problem persists, inspect the power button for any damage and consult the manual for further troubleshooting steps.

How can I improve the audio quality on my IC-T3H?

Ensure the squelch setting is correctly adjusted. Additionally, using an external speaker or headset might improve audio clarity.

What is the best way to extend the battery life of my IC-T3H?

Reduce the transmit power when full power is not needed, turn off unnecessary functions, and ensure the battery is fully charged before use.

Why am I not able to receive signals on certain frequencies?

Check if the frequency is stored correctly and is within the transceiver's range. Additionally, verify the squelch and volume settings and ensure the antenna is properly connected.

How do I reset the IC-T3H to factory settings?

To perform a factory reset, turn off the transceiver, hold down the 'VFO/MR' and 'FUNC' buttons, and turn the radio back on. This will erase all settings and memory.

Can I use a different antenna with the IC-T3H?

Yes, you can use a compatible third-party antenna to potentially improve performance, but ensure it matches the transceiver's frequency range and impedance.

How do I activate the keypad lock on the IC-T3H?

Press and hold the 'FUNC' button followed by the 'LOCK' button to activate or deactivate the keypad lock.

What maintenance does the IC-T3H require for optimal performance?

Regularly check and clean the battery contacts, inspect the antenna connection, and update any firmware if applicable. Store the device in a dry, cool place when not in use.

How can I set up a repeater frequency on my IC-T3H?

Enter the 'VFO' mode, set the desired receive frequency, press 'FUNC', and then 'DUP' to set the offset direction. Enter the offset frequency using the keypad and store the settings into memory.
