    Why is there little or no sound coming from my Icom Transceiver speaker?
    • D
      Dr. Elizabeth LawrenceAug 1, 2025
      If you're getting little or no sound from your Icom Transceiver's speaker, the squelch level might be set too high. Try setting the squelch to the threshold point. Also, ensure the volume level isn't too low by adjusting it to a suitable level. If the speaker has been exposed to water, use the AquaQuake function to remove it.

      If you cannot transmit or select high power on your Icom Transceiver, it might be because some channels are programmed for low power or receive only due to regulations. Try changing channels. Alternatively, the output power might be set to low; push the [HI/LO] button to select high power.
