SDS100/SDS200: Stop recieving.

[rf_patriot200]

When you say stops receiving, you mean there is nothing showing on the screen, or stuff is showing on the screen and no audio? My 200 used to loose audio after a while and needed a reboot. Either way, sent it back under warranty and has not done that since.

Dave, my 200 used to do that on occasion too, and I found that setting the Audio Off time to 100ms. seemed to solve the problem. It hasn't lost audio since.

The issue has resolved itself.

I ran it all night last night, and no issues.

My new sds-100 is doing similar. I just received it from MTC about 2 weeks ago & noticed it stopped receiving about 4 or 5 days ago. I'm too far from Wx channel to test VHF, but it definitely loses the 800Mhz control channels on the state TRS. Doesn't Rx the CC from search either. No pattern to when it fails. It was good all day yesterday, but stopped after being on only a couple hours today. I turn it off & unplug charger every night.

Swapped SD card & reloaded programming today, we'll see if it makes any difference. I'm doubtful. If this doesn't cure it, Ill probably send it back to MTC, if not too late.

I would check to see if IFX would fix it for a close signal overload ect.

Program that control channel as analog only in the quick save system and listen to it how it should sound when it works okay.
Then when that system starts to work worse, go to that analog channel and listen if there's an increase in noise, as in loosing the signal strength, or it gets distorted as if another transmitters signal runs over it.

Then when that problem happen try IFX and different filter settings to see if you can bring back a clean signal again. Then apply those settings to that site and keep your fingers crossed.
