minitor v difficult problem

[cvillefd73]

ok so ive been looking around recently online to find a solution for the problem but cant find the problem im having and the fix to it. so the m5 i bought off a friend will alert on the closed alert channel and opens for x amount of seconds. seems to be when there is a break in dispatch it closes. while the m5 is on open channel it will not pick up any radio traffic on the freq, but if the squawk is held down i can hear the radio traffic and at the end of transmission it does the normal static. my m5 was reprogrammed and codeplug cloned off another m5 from my dept, and the m5 it was cloned from works perfect. im wondering if its something wrong physically with mine, or if its a program fault. any help would be greatly appreciated.

also when i bought it i knew of the problem but i got a good deal on it. the guy i bought it off of bought it off ebay, yet when he first got it, it worked perfectly. he stated he did open the case and look around in it. is there a chance some connection got broken or disconnected.

i know you said it was cloned but it sounds like a program problem. There are options in the PPS that can make your pager function the way you are describing it.

i do know that the problem with it closing after the dispatcher unkey's requires you to have the open squelch time extended. take my advice, go with the 10 or 15 seconds. the 30 second option is like an eternity.

What is the reset function set as?

Revert seems to be the best imo.

it will also do this if the RX sensitivity is poor. do you know anyone with a service monitor that could check it for you?

ok so revert was changed to manual. and squelch has been changed to 1. still the problem occurs. yet after tones it stays open with static as it should till squelch is pressed to close the channel. but now it doesnt store voice as it had previously. any other ideas besides sending it off would be much appreciated.

also the m5 is a 2 channel capable minitor. A is clsoed alert. B is open channel with our towns tone alert. C is another departments freq with no alert. D is priority scan of B and C, and B is priority channel.
