I just bought the Wouxun UV-9D Mate from BuyTwoWayRadios.
It is a great radio, but it has some issues I noticed immediately.
I have other Amateur Radios on 2 meter and 70cm and this is the only radio that breaks squelch with CTCSS Tone Squelch Set on several frequencies with data sounds.
It sounds like DMR or the old Packet Data Bursts or GPS Location Information.
The other radios hear none of it.
I programmed the scanner part of this radio for 470Mhz band to listen to police and fire. Several of these frequencies break through the Tone Squelch with the same sounds.
It don't hear it on my Yaesu, Alinco, Kenwood and Icom Radios.
I know this radio become Mr. Static on most frequencies when near computers or other poorly shielded equipment.
Because this is also poorly shielded or some low end issue.
I am pretty sure this is System-on-Chip (SoC).
The display, as I knew before I got it, is almost useless in sunlight. I am okay with that.
It has some really advanced features, but anything that breaks through CTCSS as interference is very strange.
Does anyone know how something could open up CTCSS just from interference??
Thank you in advance of any advice or experience with this type of issue
...I do know this is a low end radio, but sometimes we have to try something different...
