Thread: vhf radio

hi everyone,
went fishing out over the bowentown bar yesterday, made a trip report to the coastgaurd as normal with the vhf radio, then on returning and trying to close my trip report couldn,t raise anyone and realised I hadn,t heard any other radio traffic all day...I ended up ringing to close my trip report and the operator said she could hear me trying to call, ie the push to talk was operating the repeater but I couldn,t hear any squelch, seems to me the speaker in the radio has failed...anything else it could be?
cheers
Ray
