WS1080 squelch tales

[AA6IO]

In anticipation of a 1095 that should arrive in the next day or two from the Ham Station, I have pulled out my 1080 for the last few days and been using it more. Two systems I monitor quite a bit are Long Beach Police/Fire, which uses DCS, and the CHP, some channels which use CTCSS.
I get a very loud squelch tales on most of the Long Beach and a few of the CHP stations that is really annoying. When I listen to the same channels on my 325P2, 996P2, 436/536HP, or even the newer PRO-651/652, I get none of these squelch tails. Moreover, even on the 1080, I don't have that much problem on some other systems/channels with CTCSS.
I also experience the same squelch tails on the PRO-668, so this seems to be a problem I have with the PSR-800 type scanners. Is there some setting I a missing to fix this squelch tail problem. Thanks for any responses.

If the repeaters are set to transmit the tone on the squelch tale the no I do not think you can stop that with the scanner. This also sounds like the tone deviation is set to high or the system has a filter capacitor in the repeater is starting to fail.

There is no setting ..

Well I'm not sure why not happening with other scanners, but perhaps it is a repeater issue. Anyway, if no setting available (I did not think so), then so be it. Thank you Buddrousa and Edmscan for your responses.

I don't know what frequencies you are listening to but in the uhf high range I had squelch tails and I changed from narrow fm to normal fm and it went away.

I get squelch tails on a couple frequencies in my area, what I did was just eliminated the CTCSS code by putting the squelch mode to none. It does it also on the same frequencies with my PSR 500, so I did the same thing with that radio.

While there is no distinct setting for squelch tails .. if there are any programming issues, that could very well cause issues.

I would definitely check your programming to make sure it is right.

I know of my PSR800 and 1095 I have never had any problems. Then .. 99% of my listening is on an Edacs system .. so very robust and never any issues.
