Hi Guys. I have a DIGITECH 1120 & it is not very old. It will not receive or transmit calls. The Aerial connection seems fine.

Possible issues with the DigiTech DC-1122 not receiving or transmitting calls include:
1. Wrong Channel Selection – Ensure the unit is set to the correct channel, as only UHF-CB CALL INST channels can transmit. 2. Signal Reception – The unit must be in RECEIVE mode, and the RX icon should appear when a signal is received. 3. Transmission Issues – When transmitting, the PTT button must be held, and the TX icon should appear. Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly (5-7 cm from the mouth). 4. Frequency Band Limitation – The unit operates within the 400-520MHz band in 12.5kHz steps; ensure compatible frequencies are used. 5. Encrypted Signals – The unit only supports unencrypted analogue police, fire, and ambulance channels. Encrypted signals cannot be received. 6. Emergency Channels Restriction – In Australia, channels 05 and 35 are reserved for emergency calls and may have restrictions. 7. Scan Mode Activation – If SCAN mode is on, the unit may be scanning and not locked onto a channel. Deactivate SCAN if necessary. 8. Priority Watch Interference – If Priority Watch is enabled, the unit may switch to the Instant Priority Channel instead of staying on the expected channel.
Checking these settings and conditions should help resolve the issue.
