PRO-197 Audio Delay

[arlew0127]

I have posted this in a couple of other places on here but thought i would start a thread...

I have no idea if this is happening to anyone else but, i just bought the pro-197 and LOVE it so far except for one thing... When i am listening to what ever (public safety, air traffic...) the first 1/2 sec of the transmition sounds like it is VERY quiet in the background.

For ex. If a police officer is calling out it should go like this and i should hear this:

369, central
369 go ahead
so on and so on...

instead i hear

369 REALLY QUITE in the background,
and central at the normal volume i have it set at
and then the rest if the transmition is at normal volume.

its like im missing the first 1/2 of the transmition...

any idea? Please help!

By default, the scanner waits 600mS at the beginning of a transmission "looking for digital", if it doesn't know ahead of time that the transmission must be either digital or analog. This wait time is controlled by the PGM FUNC GLOB menu item "DG Int Prime". If you set it too small, you increase the risk of "motorboating" on digital channels. I have mine set to 30 (300 mS).

If these are CONV objects (conventional, non-trunked channels), you can set them to "CTCSS Search" or "DCS Search" to force the scanner into "analog mode" - skipping the digital check.

The scanner's "DG Int Prime" setting can be set in Win500 on the "Extended Settings" page, in the group marked "Digital", in the field labeled "Digital detect timeout".
