Early on in the DV1's life, several folks complained about buzzing (sometimes called "Motorboating"), especially during scan mode when the radio would stop on a digitally programmed frequency.
The buzzing sound was supposed to be addressed in firmware version 1512D, and for a while, it seemed that the problem had indeed stopped. But after firmware release 1602A (the release before the most current 1607B), the problem seemed to crop up again, at first intermittently, and now more pronounced.
I was hoping somehow the 1607B would somehow address this issue along with the others that were mentioned, but it did not. I did try doing a FULL RESET of the radio, but the problem is still occurring.
Before I attempt to revert back to 1512D, I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with this buzzing/motorboating issue reappearing with any of the firmware releases from 1602A and going forward. Once again, this is most prevalent while scanning mixes of analog and digital channels.
Thank you for your input.
