      If the receiving light is on but you're not hearing anything from the speaker, it could be due to a few reasons: * The volume might be turned down. Check and adjust the volume switch. * There might be an issue with the CTCSS encode/decode settings. Ensure you are using the correct mute method and have the correct CTCSS/CDCSS tone in use, or turn it off.
