I submitted a ticket to GRE regarding this problem and wonder if anyone else with a PSR-500 is having the same problems or has any suggestions.
Thanks ...
"I just bought a new PSR-500 and received it last Friday. I am very happy with the unit, however I am having a few problems...
1) On frequencies with DCS enabled and the code specified, I am having issues with the audio dropping out for a brief time during the transmission (less than .5 to 1.5 secs). I changed the HD5 Fade from 2000 to 2500 and this helped quit a bit. Unfortunately, I can't increase the value past 2500. If the unit let me, it might resolve the problem entirely. I tried adjusting some of the other settings (HD2 Qualify and HD2 Holdoff) but that didn't seem to help so I put them back to default.
2) When scanning, the unit will make several passes over an active conventional object before stoppiing on it. It usually misses the entire transmission. I do have either CTCSS or DCS selected for these and the exact tone is specified. I can transmit for 10 seconds or more with the scanner going right past the object before it finally stops on it.
Thanks,
Brian"
