MIC buttons non-functional


 

The mic it came with (i bought second hand) did not function properly, only the PTT and lights worked. I swapped it out for an other Icom Mic, it also functions in this same way.
?
Anyone have some insight on this? Am I an Idiot? or just unlucky?


 

Did you swap the cords as well? Not sure if all the functions on an icom mic work on this radio.


 

The Icom Mic has exactly the same outside case but totally different electronics inside.

I experienced the same thing with my mic. NO direct entry whatsoever. I was trying things out just using internal battery. While the unit was on, I plugged in my external battery and the direct entry started working. After seeing that it now worked, I turned off the radio, unplugged the external battery and turned radio back on. Direct entry still seemed to work ok...... (for now)
