I recently got some extra surplus radios as I wanted something capable of 700mhz.
Two were P7200s - one was completely wiped of all firmware. They ended up both programming fine after new firmware/dsp, but they both get these immensely annoying bursts of "static" which is the "tone" that is played prior to a fire/emergency call, I guess not decoding properly (I assume - when I have another radio/scanner on simultaneously, I hear the tone, but on these, its loud static). This is on an EDACS system.
This doesn't happen in any of the other radios, including Jaguar 700Ps and P7100ips with the same exact personalities in them.
The feature list is:
01 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 12 21 22 23 29 33 39
The only feature that the P7200s dont have, that the others do, is 14, which I cant see how would have any effect on this.
TL;DR
As I said, when I have two radios next to each other (P7200 & 700/P7100), one plays the "tone" correctly (which sounds like a short control channel burst, if you arent familiar with EDACS), and the P7200 just bursts with static.
Ive tried simple things like squelch and data is off, with no change, so I dont know what this is.
