What do you recommend for this system hold time?It's a housekeeping cycle and theres no way to completely stop it but you can extend the interval of said cycle by applying a system hold time in your favorites editor.

Yes the same exact problem.I'm guessing you're having the same problem?
What do you recommend for this system hold time?
Unless it's an "on the fly" case of just trying it for a short time, I typically will put this into a separate favorites list since for the next 4 1/2 minutes, the "scanner" won't be scanning anything else. That way, you can enable/disable at will. You can also put the same system with a default hold of 0 in a different FL for normal scanning.If I'm only scanning a single system/site I set a hold time 255.
Setting multiple systems like this might/usually does help receiving those systems with the non-default hold times but significantly increases the likelihood of missing transmissions on other systems. Obviously, any delays that are configured will cause this.If scanning multiple systems/sites I set a hold time of 2 or 3.
Scanning single system&site therefore "other systems" is negated from the equation.Unless it's an "on the fly" case of just trying it for a short time, I typically will put this into a separate favorites list since for the next 4 1/2 minutes, the "scanner" won't be scanning anything else.

Why would someone need to put system hold time to 255 if I'm using site hold and a single system?Scanning single system&site therefore "other systems" is negated from the equation.
I agree with you on scanning multiple systems&sites that the longer hold and delay times can affect missing comms on other systems and or sites. It's really a catch 22 and each individual can experiment and find the best settings to suit them.

The scanner does what's called a house keeping cycle that drops the control channel approximately every 1-2 seconds to update GPS, file management and other tasks. A site hold time will control in seconds up to 255 when the scanner performs said cycle.

Since I put the hold time set to 255. When I have display timer set to open squelch the display won't turn off after each transmission like it used to. Do you think it's related to the new hold timeThe scanner does what's called a house keeping cycle that drops the control channel approximately every 1-2 seconds to update GPS, file management and other tasks.
