    • C
      Charles JacksonAug 17, 2025
      If you're not getting any sound from your Icom Transceiver speaker, there could be a few reasons. First, the squelch level might be set too high; try adjusting the [SQL] to the threshold point. Second, the volume level could be too low; adjust the [VOL] to a suitable level. Finally, if the speaker has been exposed to water, drain the water from it.
