    Why is there no sound coming from the speaker of my SMP 908 Two-Way Radio?

      If no sound comes from the speaker of your SMP Two-Way Radio, it might be due to the squelch being muted. Try decreasing the squelch level. Another possible reason is that the Tone or CTCSS/DCS squelch is active; in this case, turn CTCSS or DCS squelch off.

      If the rotating dial on your SMP Two-Way Radio will not change the memory channel, the transceiver might be in CALL mode. To fix this, press the VFO or memory mode.

      Mr. Antonio BrayAug 15, 2025
      If the power is on but nothing appears on the display of your SMP Two-Way Radio, the + and - polarities of the power connection might be reversed. Connect the red lead to the plus terminal and the black lead to the minus terminal of the DC power supply.
