Go back to v 1.2 and it will help wth that machine gunning
Well, despite my initial skepticism, I gotta say...
IT WORKED. Downgrading the DSP on my 2096 to v1.2 eliminated the motorboating I was getting when monitoring MPSCS Macomb 219. It was the last little irritation I had when listening to this particular simulcast system.
By using a Yagi pointed at just one of the simulcast towers, I had been getting all the voice traffic on 219 just fine for awhile now, with no breakup whatsoever. However, occasionally I would experience the motorboating for a fews seconds at the beginning of a transmission. It didn't happen a lot - maybe just 3 or 4 times an hour. Just enough to be irritating.
After reading timjude's post I figured what the heck, might as well try it. I rolled my 2096 back to v1.2 three days ago and have not experienced even a single instance of the motorboating ever since.
I'm not suggesting this will work for everybody, as systems and setups are different everywhere, so YMMV. What I do know is it worked for me, so I'm really pleased.
Thanks for the tip timjude!
