I have 2 brand new TYT MD-380 radios with factory firmware D013.034.
I've done some testing, and there seems to be a problem with the operation of the radio when it's scanning analog channels.
When a radio that is not in scanning mode transmits to another radio, the squelch opens immediately on the receiving radio and the audio is heard immediately. It does not matter whether the receiving radio is scanning or not.
When a radio that IS in scanning mode transmits to another radio, the squelch still opens immediately on the receiving radio BUT the audio is muted for a second or two on the first PTT. If PTT is released and re-keyed quickly after the first PTT, the audio is not muted and is heard immediately. Again, it does not matter if the receiving radio is scanning or not.
Is there any setting in CPS that would change this? Is it a bug? Is there anything in the experimental firmware that might address this?
I've tried tons of different settings in CPS related to scanning, and while many do nothing at all, the ones that do change things do not affect this problem.
To be clear, I am only speaking of analog scanning and that is my only concern.
If someone would like to see the issue for themselves, I'd be happy to post a test CPS file.
