at first, you have thto check cable and all connections between your radio and the antenna. Search for any signs of breaks, damage or corrosion. The radio will not pick anything if the antenna is not properly connected.

Turn the squelch COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to lessen the amount of squelch. If the squelch is turned all the way down, the radio should at least pic audio. If it doesn't then something else is wrong.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers
