How do I adjust squelch. Squelch is locked on
I suspect you have it in the continuous monitor mode so follow the directions for getting back into the automatic squelch mode. AUTOMATIC SQUELCH: The FRS is equipped with an automatic squelch circuitry filtering out weak transmission and unwanted noise, usually caused by terrain conditions. MONITOR: - This feature turns off the automatic squelch feature, either momentarily or continuously. It helps in receiving signals to its maximum range, but may pick up static signals, too. Momentary monitor: - Press the MON button; the monitor symbol will appear. - Release the button to restore the automatic squelch. Continuous monitor: - Press the MON button for more than 2 seconds until a beep sound is heard. The monitor symbol will appear. - To restore the automatic squelch, press and release the MON button again. NOTE: You cannot transmit when the Monitor feature is activated.This comes from the manual I found on-line at:

Is the two way radio easily fixed, suspect mic, or is it garbage?
If you can do minor soldering, you may be able to fix the radio. They have no parts available, so they are considered "junk" when they break. But if you do the following, you may be able to repair it: open radio, unscrew the housing and pull it apart. Take the circuit board and look for corrosion, it often looks greenish or white. If the radio has a lot, there is water damage. You may still be able to fix it. You've gone this far! Use a Q Tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and remove as much corrosion as you can. Let it dry. Take your soldering gun and lightly resolder each spot on the circuit board. Touch the tip, as soon as the solder turns liquid, remove it! I have fixedhundreds of radios and cell phones by doing this. But it may not work. It just takes your labor! Good luck!
