GME TX3540 Squelch Problem
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 7:48 pm
Hi all.
Strange problem, and I'm not sure if it's my radio or the networks (highly doubting this).
I've been doing lots of trips to the Snowy Mountains over the last few months, and have found FRNSW PMR 801-804 (Cooma/Jindabyne/Thredbo/Perisher), and Snowy River RFS are coming through the radio with a regular pulse (say, every 0.5 seconds) which causes the radio to momentarily cut out (probably for about 0.25 seconds) making listening to these channels virtually impossible.
I find that if I open the squelch, the pulse stops. So I'm assuming it's something directly wrong with the radio and its automatic squelch.
Strange part is, once I get back to Goulburn/Sydney, etc., all RFS channels and CB channels now sound fine with no pulse or anything out of the ordinary making it extremely difficult to isolate the problem with the radio. Are these channels down there using some strange type of network which my radio goes crazy over or what? I'm completely lost as I can't replicate this problem in Sydney.
It has happened everytime I've gone to the Snowies. I keep forgetting to take a handheld to see if it is just the car or not! Must remember this next time!
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers.
