DMR Firmware Updates; Simplex Reception

[VA3ADP]

Hello all,

Was just wondering what helps improve simplex DMR reception on my 435 other then what UPMAN has pointed out with FM and adjusting threshold levels?

On top of that, which update helped improve simplex DMR reception the most ?

Thanks

Michael

A couple layers of EMI copper tape on the inside of the battery cover helped me, see the thread below:

Interesting...defiantly something I will look into. But on the other side if things, I never have a had problems on UHF on any band really, even some DMR systems. I wonder why simplex is such an issue? Is the radio overloaded perhaps.

A while back I did manage to do a radio check on both of my TRBO radios I have.
I keyed up in both clear and Enhanced privacy modes and I have a recording on the 436 to prove that.

You can cleary see from this picture that the radio was deocoding the proper info and the audio was loud and clear...now if only I could remember that version it was...lol

Other than the tape, are there any other things I could do to tweak the radio?
