[quote=DamonLinkous]Any radio experts out there? I've had this radio for several years and it's always worked great, battery life is sensational.
But now, although it seems to charge and power up just fine there is no reception at all. I can't tell if it transmits or not. The radio doesn't make a sound even on the weather channels.
Could it be a bad antenna? I could send it back to ICOM for repair but they charge $89 to look at it plus repair costs. A brand new M24 at Amazon is just $136

Is there a way to test an Antenna? I found one for $13 total on Amazon so I guess that's worth a try.
