The RF module is a fairly common problem with these radios. Fortunately the RF module itself is cheap and the replacement is not all that hard to do.
RF power would be reduced to about 0.11mw with a fully charged battery when the RF module has failed, and up to 6watts when working correctly depending on tuning.
These are very good radios and fully featured!

2-tone paging, also known as "Tone-out"
Have you ever wondered how 2-tone paging systems actually works or what equipment is used to make that happen? With this video i will take a ICOM IC-F5013h and program it so that it sends 2-tone out another radio as a page or alert.
If enough interest is shown for this topic, i can go even deeper into this subject and show you how a fully working 2-tone paging system is setup for a local fire department and how it functions

Without the crystal resonator, this circuit is highly unstable. But SSB and AM transmissions can be picked up with it.
