Icom Radio Two Way

Does anyone know why an ICOM F4S Two way radio wouldn't power on even after the unit has been fully charged?
Well duh about the wire. I'm not stupid. Its a used radio and its been charging but not turning on.

you have to plug the wire to the conole that was included

If you want a commercial grade radio to cover Australian UHF CB and the Amateur 70cm band. The IC-F210 from Icom may be your answer. I bought one ...

Now i've searched that most radios has maximum of 5watts output and they differ in price.
so far i've seen midland has good price w/ 5w output.
while icom..etc has 5w output yet they are a bit pricey.
why is that so?

should i go for midland or any motorola products?

pls advice. thanks

search ebay for the bellsouth ranger series or motorola talkabout series.

make sure it is limited to 14 channels only and has an effective radiated power of 500mW.

under the right conditions you should get a range of 2 miles to communicate over.

i mentioned these radios because they are legal for use w/o a liscence from the fcc.

the 5 watt 22 channels radios are also legal, but you need a liscence to use chan. 15-22 period, and 1-7 if you put out more than 500mW.

if you get caught communicating on the channels mentioned above you're liable to get a $10K fine from the fcc

I am asking for a Icom ham radio..... I have a grundig shortwave radio, two handheld scanners, and a base scanner. So far I have asked for a grundig handeld shortwave radio and a scanner antenna
What suggestions do you have for me?
I am set up to take my technician class test in January but I need to ask for the radio for Christmas since I cant afford it myself

With the other answer I agree. Get your ham license first, then post the question again.

Pardon me if I sound skeptical about your license, but how did you pass you license exam if you can't estimate the range of this radio?
