Help: Odd Hytera PD-482i Situation

[MikeGee63]

On my receive I have to hit the PTT button in order to let the audio come through the speaker??... any suggestions on why that is happening? .............. otherwise the radio is working fine, but of course who wants to live with that issue!... I actually need to do this with every single received transmission, which means I actually need to LOOK at the radio to see when a transmission is coming through so I can briefly press the PTT in order to hear it !! and even then, I still of course wind up missing the first 1/3 of the transmission.................. WTH?
Any Ideas?
Radio id DMR operating with a hot spot and I can see by the signal meter on the radio it is receiving the transmission from the hot spot

Try the obvious. Eliminate the hot spot, & try to receive a repeater directly. If it does, it’s not the radio.

My other radio does receive and work with the hot spot normally (878uv)......... but still I will try the repeater thing.

Well, heres an update:
I have not been able to try a repeater yet, however, I tried transmitting to the hytera (simplex) using the hotspot frequency using another DMR radio and its a-ok, and then I was able to try a different hot spot ....and No-Go, SO, there is something about the hotspot that wont let the dmr radio open up until I tap the ptt? ............ it will need to be returned unfortunately....I liked it, too bad really...... so it kind of is the radio, I have never heard of an issue like this, but it also seems in some way that the hotspot delivers a signal in a particular way this radio doesn't fully appreciate somehow?

Sell a radio because the fault is with the hot spot? The radio receives fine from another radio. That means the radio is fine. Most local DMR repeaters do not allow hot spots, but on the one that does, it’s easy to tell whose using a hot spot, & whose not. Good luck to you.

yes, I need to sell it because the vast majority of my comms on DMR is through my 2 hotspots.........
Thanks for replying......... Also, I didn't know that about repeaters not allowing hotspot transmissions through..... I feel like I've spoken to a lot of folks through/on repeaters when using the hotspots though? .......... well maybe its more prevalent in your particular area?

The local systems that do not allow hot spots are not linked on the internet with D-Mark, or Brandmeister, so there’s no way to use a hot spot. And the users of these repeaters have no interest in talking around the world on DMR. Most are in the service industry driving from customer, to customer to repair what needs to be repaired. We just talk to friends all over Florida as we drive from customer, to customer. And the guy whose repeater is linked to everybody wishes from time to time it wasn’t.
