      If you're experiencing little to no sound from your Icom Transceiver's speaker, there are a few potential causes. First, the squelch level might be set too high; try setting the squelch to the threshold point. Alternatively, the volume level could be set too low; adjust the volume to a suitable level. Finally, if the speaker has been exposed to water, use the AquaQuake function to remove it.

      Andrew PierceAug 2, 2025
      If your Icom Transceiver is unable to transmit or select high power, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Some channels might be programmed for low power or receive-only operation due to regulations; in this case, try changing channels. Another possibility is that the output power is set to low; push the [HI/LO] button to select high power.
