Maxtrac300 chicken sqwack

I know that it has been discussed but, I can't find it... When I key the Maxtrac300, two seconds into the transmition, the radio makes a "per ****" sound.!!! Sounds like a Chicken!! It does it every time, after you have began to speak...Their must be a way to change the code or something....This is the 5 pin board, radio is UHF and set for my GMRS repeater "WQTT510" but, it does the same on the simplex channels too.

It sounds like MDC600 or MDC1200 unit ID is turned on. You will need the RSS to change the settings to off.

Does it sound a tone out of the speaker when you initially key up? 2 seconds sounds like a long wait time for PTT down MDC, but it's possible.

I think you have an option of a sidetone or not, and the repeater pretime delay may be set long.

You're right, but usually it's enabled if it was actually used for MDC. Maybe someone was just playing around with it...

You can't here the "chicken noise" in the speaker...only on the transmitted signal...I'll check the RSS for the "options"...can't remember if I HEXEDITed this from an 8 channel to 16....Seems like I had to change the word Maxtrac into Maxtruk to get checksum correct, or was it my gm300......snowing now and 20 deg. F. I'll pull it into the garage and plug in the "old 486" when I get chores done......thanks for your input
