I am new to ham radio. For my first hf radio, I bought a used ic-746.
It has been working on all bands except 2 meters. I can receive on 2
meters but not transmit. It seems to be transmitting a signal but not
transmitting the voice. I use a ht to determine if the icom is
transmitting. I set both radios to the same frequency. When I push PTT
on the icom, the green receive light on the ht turns on but when I
talk into the mic, there is no sound on the ht. Unlike other bands,
the Po and SWR meters on the icom do not move when trying to transmit
on 2 meters. The power supply meter moves a little when PTT is pushed.
Any ideas or suggestions?

The IC-746 has no meters. It uses a large LCD display.

Which are giving a readout, so become meters. My digital multimeter is
still a meter, despite an LCD readout.

I'm surprised you didnt' quibble about "2 meters".
