For direct frequency input: i.e 2061.4khz transmit - (TX), (2), (0), (6), (1), (4), (ENT) - use (RX) for receive frequency.
For ITU channels - (CH), (4), (1), (2), (ENT)
Direct frequency inputs are restricted to authorized marine band frequencies.
Does it have an external speaker plugged in the back? If so try unplugging it see if the internal speaker works, if it doesnt have an external speaker plugged in try one, maybe the internal speaker went bad from moisture.
Contact the Icom service center. Their main web-page is www.icom.com. From there you can select your geographic area and service (commercial, marine, amateur, etc).
I connected my ICom using the NMEA in. I had the leads reversed first time, moved them around and worked. This was a connection from Furono to iCom but should be much the same
If you are using the radio on a boat, then no, the grounding does not matter that much. However, an SSB transceiver would be hassle to install on a boat because of the amount of power they use to transmit. If the transmission is bad, try using the radio's internal tuner instead of the separate tuner. This may help improve the quality of transmit, however, some radios have a tough time clarifying incoming and outgoing signals and create a garbled sound when it receives a signal or when it transmits. If that doesn't work, then you can try grounding. But if you want a radio that doesn't require all this nonsense tning, you might want to think about investing in a Yaesu. They are pricey, but are one of the best HAM radios.
