Radio issue

[DIno1993]

I pulled my radio out and checked the fuse. My issue is that it turns on and stays on. when I go to a radio station you cannot hear anything from the station. I thought speakers may not be working but when you push buttons on radio the beeping goes through the speakers. I also pushed reset but all it does is turn the alarm on. I tried unplugging and turning back on. Nothing still. One thing I haven't figured out is tuning it to a station, it will only go to two channels already in the radio. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Seems to me everything works fine on it. I just cant get radio to go to a local station. The on programmed it may not be picking it up. Id like to fix this if possible.[ATTACH][/ATTACH]

A simple Google search produced the manual. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/11...Irv6500bt.html

Thanks I'm new to owning a camper and trying to learn. I do know how to google and lookup the manual but wondered if anyone had any similar issues as I did that may know from past experience.

But the manual explains how to tune in stations manually. Isn't that what you're asking for?

The manual should explain how to set up and adjust the functions on the radio. Most user manuals also have a simple trouble shooting section. So I'm confused with your question. Are you asking if someone can tell you what the manual says or are you seeking advice on how to take it apart and diagnose what's failed so you can make a repair?

No, i fogured out how to manually turn it today. My issue is no sound is coming out no static either from speakers but only when i push the buttons on the radio. It beeps across teh speakers when i do that

I can read the manual and back in my day i was pretty good at j stalling radios and electrical issues on tvs or radios but this has me stumped on the fix. No static or music from the station out of the speakers but i know they work bc when i push buttons the beeping goes across the speakers

You've checked the fuses and it appears powered up. You've reset the unit? (small reset hole using a thin wire). What else have you done? What prompts the beeping?

Power it on. It appears when you do you see a preset station. Turn the volume control all the way to the right. Depress the speaker A button. Depress the large volume control (function button) and see what it changes to. You want it to be on the radio function. On the left side use the double arrows to tune by depressing the button(s) quickly to scroll thru radio frequencies. Scroll one channel at a time to find a working channel. Hitting the double arrow button and holding it might let it auto scroll to the next available signal. If it locks on a radio channel and there is no sound then try to depress the speaker B then speaker C buttons to see if you get sound. You also need to make sure you don't have the wiring behind the unit misconfigured.

Thanks for the info. I will try that!

My iRV radio did not make a sound except static on AM with occasional weak sound on FM. Same was true of my 2017 Laredo. Found several threads here about the ribbon antenna being rolled up behind the radio and it needs to be extended to pick up signals. I tried that - improved but still not good enough. I bought a $12 car antenna at Walmart and mounted it behind the TV in the cubby. It is better but nothing like a car radio. My 1996 KZ Sportsmen had a good radio, and it had a rooftop antenna. I think that is the key to success but I am not going to poke a hole in the roof of my Montana. We have a very good portable that we listen to. This may not be the issue with your radio - just thought I throw it out there for you to think about.

My iRV radio works fine for CDs and DVDs…radio function sucks.

Definitely will look into that. My antenna is wrapped behind the radio. I think ill buy a cheap antenna and see what happens
