Default Radio Volume

I have an 07 Ultra. I was riding with the wife on the back today with the intercom hooked up and turned on. Noticed that I couldn't get any volume out of the dash speakers. When I turn off the intercom the volume works fine. Any suggestions

Turn down the Vox sensitivity. Sounds like your intercom is set wide open which mutes the radio

I could be wrong, as I've never used my intercom feature, but I thought intercom on was SUPPOSED to cut off the external speakers?

Lightbulb He's right

The intercom is probably open due to the voice actuated setting being too low. The wind noise will keep it open. The intercom and CB will lower the volume of the radio so that you can hear the intercom and CB above that.

In practice, I keep the vox working below about 50 mph, with a setting of about 9 I seem to recall. Above that speed, I go back to PTT switching.

Bingo, I had the VOX open. I'll try it when adjusted properly

Thanks
