Just discovered this tonight. Went to UHF to monitor some police and when I spun squelch, it didn't close. Spun it full-right and watched the green "receive" light go off and the white arrow travel across the Smeter, but still hear the hash. Tried it on different bands, same thing. Looked for something in the manual-nothing. Bottom line, I have no squelch. WTH? And tried VSC and that doesn't seem to work either. What'd I do?
Looks like I may have to send it back to Icom?
EDIT: squelch and VSC, I discovered on a hunch, do not work in the AF/IF jack, which is where I was running audio to my AV receiver. I did not know this, and don't know why Icom set it up this way. I plugged the audio-out jack into ext. spkr. jack and I now have squelch and VSC back.
Nevermind. I will smack myself in the forehead and go to bed now.
