[amsat-bb] IC-910H no audio on SO-50 downlink

 Paul, Roy,Thanks the replies.  In the past I have always heard myself.  So there must be something gone wrong with my system.  I will have to check out everything.
Thanks again for the suggestions.73s, Jim, Ke4kol

Check your entire antenna system to make sure there are not any
problems.
