Annoying loud squelch tail #128

How can we get rid of the annoying loud squelch squeaky tail?

armel commented 5 months ago

Check menu 41/63 STE ...

dk1aj commented 5 months ago

STE ON/OFF has no effect at all :( Same behavior on UV-K5(8) and UV-5R Plus . Please watch these 2 videos. https://streamable.com/m0fmiw https://streamable.com/ea2nva

STE was fixed in v2.4 I wouldn't touch it again.

Try setting squelch to a higher number and see if it improves...

Alternatively, ask the repeater owner to adjust the settings of the repeater.

what is wrong 2 radios behave the same STE is ON sql= 9 and 3x as loud as comparable radios

Turns out that's just how the radio itself is capable of. However, this firmware is ported from Egzumer, the squelch break sound is way shorter than the original QS stock firmware. This radio is quite cheap and the speaker tuning basically just boosts the top end of the frequency hence louder.

One more thing is you are actually comparing a 200-300 dollars radio to a cheap 25 dollar radio so yeah, you know it from the start.

At the end I would say... You get what you pay ;)

[Just to prevent misconception] Actually squelch is technically just a filtering for how much db the RF must achieve before they activate the speaker, so it won't help with reducing the squelch sound whatsoever.

Based on my tests, I believe there are some workarounds

Just like the fagci spectrum analyzer single frequency monitoring mode, we can find a way to make it possible to remove squelch like that

If you don't know what I was yapping about, try monitoring your local repeater in the spectrum analyzer single frequency mode, you'll see what I mean
