I've got an Icom DSC radio, about 10 years old, with an aerial on the mast. In using it recently to contact both Shotley Marina on Ch80 and Brightlingsea harbour master on Ch68 it was transmitting clearly (B'sea could hear us from 4 miles out, we learnt on arrival), but it's not receiving. Is it possible that there's a connection failure or is this indicative of a fault within the unit? I've tried adjusting volume and squelch with no positive result.
Has anyone experience of Icom repairing radios or should I bite the bullet and spend £280 on a new radio? I'm reluctant to use the boat without a functioning radio.
Anything else I should try?
