      Joshua Miller IIAug 1, 2025
      If your Icom Transceiver has no sound coming from the speaker, ensure that the squelch level isn't too high by setting it to the threshold level. Also, check that the volume isn't too low and adjust it accordingly. If the speaker has been exposed to water, remove the water from the speaker grill.

      Andrea SchneiderAug 10, 2025
      If your Icom Transceiver is unable to transmit or you can't select high power, it might be because some channels are limited to low power or are receive-only. Try changing the channel. Also, check if the output power is set to low and push [Hi/Lo] to select high power. A discharged battery may also be the reason, so try to recharge the battery pack.
