[TVARC] Ready to give up

[George Briggs]

Hi Phil,
Wow, sounds like there is something amiss.  I am not a 7300 expert, but with other radios in the past I have had a radio appear dead if:
1. The wrong antenna input is selected.  For example, if the antenna is plugged into the Antenna 1 jack, but Antenna 2 has been selected on the front panel.
2. The Squelch control is turned up all the way.
3. The RF gain control is turned all the way down.
I would be happy to work with you on this, but I can’t do so until Friday.  Let me know if that works for you.
73,
George K2DM

I have had my license for a few years and purchased an icom 7300.  

I have tried a super antenna, an end fed wire antenna, and now a vertical buddipole antenna

I can not pick up any stations or transmissions.  

I have watched hundreds of you tube videos.


I have been to classes.

I cant even pick up the 10.000.00 signal.

Maybe I goofed up the radio and it just can pick up signals.  

I even reset it back to factory standards thinking I set something wrong.  

Is there a way to setup the radio so that I can be sure it is working?
