I don't have this radio but I would suspect that you have a repeater offset switched on (DUP) which is out of band when you click the PTT.

Then again, this Icom radio does not meet the ACMA's UHF CB spec so using it to transmit (using it) on CB is illegal.
Suggestion : Buy a proper UHF CB if that is where you want to transmit.
