So I just picked up a pair of TYT MD-380 radios.
ATM I'm only interested in Analog usage, so please don't refer to any digital channel programming.
I have set up 5 analog channels which work properly.
I want Channel 1 to be an "ALL CALL" channel which I created using the scan feature. When any radios are being used on channels 2-5, if someone transmits on channel 1, all radios switch to that channel and receive the call. Took a while to figure out how to do all that, but since it's my first time with these radios, I expected that. The scanning setup is working fine.
Something odd happens however.
When any radio transmits on channel 1, there is no delay AT ALL between when PTT is pressed and the user can speak. That is to say, when on channel 1, the transmitting person can press PTT and speak immediately and no words are cut off.
However, if two radios are on any other channel (channels 2-5) and PTT is pressed, there is a delay before audio is transmitted on the initial PTT press. The squelch on the receiving radio opens immediately when PTT is pressed, but the mic is not "hot" for about 1 second on the initial press of PTT. If PTT is released and quickly pushed again, there is no delay on the 2nd and subsequent transmissions.
Is there a setting in CPS I can change to get rid of the delay between the initial PTT and the receiver receiving audio when a channel has autoscan enabled?
Firmware version is D013.034
Follow up question - are there any detailed explanations for each setting in CPS for a newbie like me?
