Ah you're right. When I turn it on it DOES reduce the squelch tail on the bubble packs. They don't have any configuration that I can see that would impact it. Just basic stuff like you mentioned. Lol, they were out by the fire pit and are looking forward to cooking hotdogs and s'mores tonight!

Ah, knowing the term for it is helpful, thank you. We're not using any tones at all; hard to believe it could be worse than that. lol Edit: Knowing the name allowed me to find that my radio has RPT-TONE which "eliminates" the squelch tail burst. However, it appears to be a placebo setting as there's no noticeable difference between having it on or off.

I'm using a Wouxun KG-935G, I find that after every transmission I receive, there's loud static at the end of the transmission. This happens on both GMRS/FRS frequencies as well as other RX-only frequencies I happen to monitor. Attached is an audio clip from my kids chatting on a pair of bubble pack FRS that I was monitoring on the KG-935G. After each transmission, there's loud static. It's almost as if the squelch takes a long time to reengage. The bubble pack handsets also have static at the end of the transmission, but not to the same degree. (It's far louder and more pronounced on mine.) Is this a handset problem (setting or because the radio is SOC vs superheterodyne), or is it a limitation of radio in general and my expectations are higher than realistically possible?
