I programmed my 106 with the edacs system where I work, and it seems to chop the first second or so of some transmissions. This is especially noticeable when listening to the 106 and a MA/COM radio at the same time. I had it scanning a scan list with the 25 talkgroups on this system and nothing else. I played with the unmute delay, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Hopefully I am missing something simple. It seems to happen when a conversation is going on, not the initial transmission.

EDACS hope...not necessarily an answer
I have had my unmute on the GRE500 set to zero and for the endtone holdoff to 10. Make sure you have nothing priority running either. Also, remember the scanner searches for objects. If you have a zillion objects running whether it is frequencies/channels and or talkgroups, this will impact receiving things. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here on this since I had a learning curve with the 106's big brother....the PSR500. I hope that helps.

I turned the unmute down to the point it just keeps the data burst mute, but haven't played with the endtone holdoff yet. Looks like something to try tomorrow (I can't receive it well from home).
Also, while listening to the system I was only scanning 25 or so objects, all talkgroups of the system. Thanks for the tip, will post the results tomorrow.

Proximity to tower sites is important too. I may be missing something here. I am at work too so I can't pick up my 500 and go through the motions. But, I know what was plaguing me when I first got my 500 and I worked hours and hours to try all sorts of things to get it to run like an Indy race car....And no, I am not a race fan. Bad analogy?! Good luck though. I know what you are going through. Been there.
Put it this way, signal stalker picks up the CC, the whole site is strongly covered to get signal into some pretty "bad" spots (rf wise)

Sorry to change the subject, but I thought MA/COM systems could not be monitored by any scanner, yet you said you are hearing it on your 106.

MA/COm what? Above it talking about EDAC Analog which can be scanned. Pro voice and Open sky cannot.
Like saying I thought you cannot drive a Ford instead of saying I cannot drive a F-150.

Are you ab2ms? The question is for him, not you.
How would one set up an EDACS SCAT site in the 106? Set up a TSYS Object and set it as a Standard EDACS then just put in the one LCN channel?
MACOM deploys EDACS systems and those can be heard fine. It's their OpenSky and ProVoice which cannot now (or ever) be monitored.
To clarify...... the radios are MA/COM and it is an EDACS system here. I got it to sound better so far with the suggestions, but not perfect. Definitely useable tho. Just something to play with when I have time.

If you want to compare notes you can also PM me. Looks like we have hijackers and wisecrackers here. Not a good thread to hang with in my opinion.
Been swamped here at work, but began to play with this problem again. Tried all the suggestions so far, but it still seems to miss the first syllable on a lot of transmissions. If a number is given it sometimes misses the first digit or two, or first identifier of a radio call. I do have one of the MA/COM radios side by side at times and can really notice the difference. The scanner comes in handy when just recieving data when radios are scarce so the first split second is sometimes crucial.
