OK, now at about one week, and zero occurrences of 1 & 3. I have tried it across all filters, although I doubted that would have any impact. I was really just trying to see what each filter sounded like. I have it running with all filters off, and I think it sounds great. Thanks again for...

24 hour Update : Zero occurrences of #1 & #3 since updating the firmware.

END OF DAY UPDATE : I have been running the SDS100 for the entire day, so roughly 9 hours now. I have had ZERO occurrences of the audio muting and ZERO occurrences of the crackle/staccato static. Looking very promising for alleviating my issues. I will continue to monitor tonight and...

Preliminary Update: The First Hour I updated the firmware on my SDS100 S/N 9118 at 7:57am. No issues with the installation using the provided instructions. Started scanning at 8:00am CDT using the same FL covering the Collin County Public Safety System that has a few of the Departments/TGIDs...

Any preferences for the filter settings? I am currently on Normal for this system with Global OFF.

Thanks Team Uniden! I will give this a go here today and report my results back here.

Sounds good! Thanks so much!!

No, I have not noticed anything that would indicate a digital signal. I will go back and watch the videos to be sure, but can say 99.9% sure i have not. Would this digital detect mid transmission cause this behavior? For what it is worth, everything on this FL for Collin Cty is set to analog...

I tried changing the squelch when the muting occurred, and it had no effect. The transmission stayed muted for the 5 seconds and then came back...

Well, I got me the RTL-SDR and have it setup now with SDR#. I am not seeing anything that jumps out at me, but have no real clue as to what to look for. On the graph, I can get 5 or the 6 channels on the screen at the same time, but the 6th channel (859.5875) I rarely ever see used for...

Thanks for the info Linn. At this point, I am not sure what is going on. Just not sure how interference would act the way that this is acting... I would expect static or some other noise in the transmission, but in this case, the scanner is muting. If someone at Uniden could outline how...

It will be interesting to see if there is a 5 second latency in the Noise display. If so, then it could what is happening...

I actually forgot the phone at home, so it was out of the equation too....

I was down in McK ~30 miles away this morning and still had the issue, just not as often as yesterday and prior times. Today has been better after the mentioned changes. I figured as much WRT the Modulation AUTO setting changed to NFM, but I was just trying to outline what I had changed prior...

Phask - I just got back from town. I am still having the issue, but not nearly as often as before. So not sure if this is just luck and it will return here later based on some external noise source, or if one of the afore mentioned settings has provided improvement. After changing the...

So a quick update. I have made a few changes to my settings, and seem to be having improved results for the last hour since making the mods. BUT, I have no idea WHY the changes would make any difference, so wondering if this is just luck and things will be worse again later, which could point...

Does squelch come in to play once the transmission has been locked on to? Just reading through things, trying to see if there is a setting that I have set incorrectly. I am at a squelch of 2 now, but may play with it later just for grins. If it is guaranteed to not have any impact, I will...

Kevin - I would agree, but that noise value comes at the END of this mysterious muting issue. When the scanner mutes, and the noise is not high, and it then waits the 5 seconds during which the noise values are not really bouncing up. The high noise value seems to only come in at the point...

Yes, I have had the unit both closer and further from the transmission tower. But that was the original scanner and not with the new firmware. I doubt that it will make a difference, but will be able to validate this as I am going to town later this morning. I will have the scanner running...

I do not think that I am using CTCSS, but not sure where to validate that this is the case. I have looked through Sentinel menus and not found anything anywhere... There is a field configured in the detailed display set for CTCSS, but I have never seen anything displayed in that area. As for...
