I've noticed that certain quick call pager tones get cut out halfway through the second tone while others I can hear the entire tone. What's the deal?
It's just for EMS Dispatches for the county I dispatch for. I only scan 3 conventional channels then the TRS so there's not a huge delay. I'll tinker with it tonight. Funny how it's fine on a radio but the scanners don't like low tones.
For some reason the PSR 500 and PSR 600 are very susceptible to losing sync with the PL/CTCSS tone during paging tones.
There is a setting called "HD5 Fade" in the Function Global menu which controls the length of time to wait after losing a PL/CTCSS/DCS/NAC signal. It is settable up to 10 seconds (10,000 ms).
I set my units to 5000 ms to correct this issue. Changing this setting allows the full paging tones to be heard while the CTCSS/DCS/NAC tone remains activated.

I presume it only has an effect while a radio transmission is occurring; in other words, it doesn't extend the scanner delay time to 5 seconds.
