No worries on the squelch tip..    Actually I did check that too, but that's not the problem.    Its a solid state rig.     

Hi folks...   Sorry for bringing an 11 meter question to a Ham site.... but I've been out of 11 meters for so long I don't know where to go for this question.   I'm guessing my ham buddies know the answer.    Anyways here goes....   

  In addition to my Amateur Radio Equipment, I also have a beautiful President Washington Base.  The radio is stock.   It has not had any mods of any kind done to it.  It is connected to an antenna with low SWR.   It has a mic. that is wired properly.   I have tried both the internal speaker and also the exterior speaker jack.    The S-Meter shows that I am receiving signals up to S-9 however I'm not able to hear any audio coming from the speakers.  Any Ideas?   I also checked to make sure that the speaker was hooked up.    Experience has told me that if something just doesn't work, it is often easier to fix than if it works poorly. I looked inside the radio and I don't see or smell any burned resisters or anything obvious.   I'd love to have this radio restored to working as well as it looks.
