Quite possibly the radio has been put in "One Touch" PTT. Look at page 20 
of the manual (download it from 
http://www.icomamerica.com/downloads/terms_and_conditions.html?/downloads/manuals.html 
if you don't have it).

Basicly,

You push Func [PTT-M (3)] and then the PTT operates 'Push once for trans', 
'Push again for rcv'. To turn it off, hit Func [PTT-M (3)] again.

Hope this helps
