Squelch Noise on CONV analog freqs

Hello,

I have noticed that when the mic is released on a tx'ing radio using an analog, conv repeater freq, there is squelch noise for second before the freq is silent... With my previous (analog) scanners, I would simply adjust the squelch dial to remedy this... I have tried fully opening and closing the squelch dial on my PSR-500, but this has no effect on the trailing squelch noise (static) on my unit...

The only "default" setting I adjusted was lowering the "digital detect timeout" per a suggestion in this forum, but I don't see how that could be affecting analog squelch settings... I have not yet messed around with the CTCSS/DCS settings...

Has anyone else experienced this and how was it remedied?

I have changed the RF SQ Fade from 10 to 3. I also have the HD2(End Detect) Qualify set at 45 instead of 75. My analog squelch tail is much shorter than it was before. I made these adjustments right after I got my PSR500 and as I remember, adjusting the RF SQ Fade had the biggest affect.
