Does the audio work on PA ?.
If not then check C159, 10v @330uF and C161, 10v @47uF, better still change both for 16v capacitors at the same uF value. IC507 is the audio chip.

If you have any problems getting a new audio chip KCB (Knights)in the UK have them.
That's what happens when the radios been cross poled as well, It's the first IC to go pop when the idiot diode fails.

Can you hear a pop in the speaker when you turn the squelch control up and down, if you can then the squelch is working fine.
