PSR-800 receving TG's, but intermittent audio...

[whooey]

Just got my PSR-800 today, got it up and running after figuring out how it works.

Side by side with my PSR-500, the 800 will show the same talkgroup as my 500, but there is about half the audio coming out as my 500.

Any ideas? I'm using the RS800 antennas on both.

EDIT: ATT is also off.

Edit #2 here's a pic of my new beauty:

I *think* I may have figured it out. In the menu, I switched encrypted traffic from silent to noise. Maybe my 800 thinks some open traffic is enc. I haven't noticed the problem since I changed that in the menu.

Most of the silence came when one radio would key up after another radio had stopped its traffic during the 2 second delay period.

I'll monitor the issue tomorrow and report back.

My scanner has not missed a transmission since switching the ENC to sound from silent, for lurkers who may come accross this thread in a search.

Great scanner so far my first 24 hours!!

You might double check to see if you have the latest firmware updates. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it or not but my 800 is set to tone for Encrypted and I've never had your problem.

I updated to the current firmware before I even programmed it. That's the only thing I switched, hasn't missed a beat since. Weird. My county (thank goodness) doesn't encrypt, so it's a mute (pun!) point.

Check your squelch knob setting. Just sayin.

when i am scanning only trunked systems i run the squelch wide open, i.e. no squelch.
does not seem to have any adverse effects. does not slow the scan rate.

Squelch tip noted, thanks guys!

I did it on the scanner it's self. In the menu.

I did it on the scanner it's self. In the menu.

It's also under the "Advanced Feature" tab in the software.

Mine only has silence or audio tone. So I picked audio tone.

Thanks for the help.
