The Monitor function opens the squelch. The TS50 does not have a TX audio
monitor circuit.

I have a Kenwood TS-50 that has Special Function 82 (Monitor) assigned
to one of the 4 keys on the microphone. When I press this nothing
happens (I expected to hear demodulated TX audio from the speaker when
I talk). I tried assigning the Monitor Function to another button
that is known to work and still nothing happens. So it's not the
button.

Was the Monitor Function an option? Was it known not to work? Is
there something I am missing?

On the internet I found two other people noting that the Monitor
Function was not working on a TS-50 but no answers. This is not a
major issue since the radio works fine in all other respects.
