Blinking S is the battery saver indicator.
Any chance you have Tone Squelch or Digital tone squelch enabled on receive?

One more question.? At the bottom right of the screen, next to
the battery charge graph, there is a "S" that blinks.? Can't find
in the manual what it is, or if it is supposed to blink.? Ya'll
know about it ?

Hi Dave, I can think of a couple things you might check -
- Is the squelch set too tight?
- There is an Audio Mute feature - is it enabled?? How about
the Squelch S Meter setting?
- Did you perform a full factory reset?? With the radio
powered off - Press and Hold all 3 buttons on the left row
(Band,? HM/RV, TX/PO) while turning the radio on.? Then press
the FW? to reset all settings.? If you haven't used the radio
in several years a full reset might be in order anyway!
Good luck and 73,?

I hope some are still watching.
I have a VX-8R that I haven't used in several years. Am in a
wheelchair because of foot surgery, and want to use the
radio.? But I get no audio out.? It seems to work otherwise.?
It transmits, I hear on another radio.? I tried resetting the
radio, which reset everything, but no help.? I
plugged/unplugged a jack in the earphone jack, thinking it was
dirty, no help.? I did have it set up with a BH-1.? Could that
be the problem ? Don't know how to undo it if it is.
