    • G
      grayethanSep 7, 2025
      There could be several reasons why you're not hearing any sound: * The squelch level might be set too high. Try adjusting it to the threshold point. * The volume could be too low. Rotate the [VOL] knob to increase the volume to a suitable level. * The speaker may have water in it. Drain any water from the speaker. * The [MIC/SP] connector may be wet. Ensure the [MIC/SP] connector is dry.
