slight delay on reception of signals

[WSCQ874]

My GM15 radios have a slight delay on receiving the words of the other person transmitting. I often miss the first syllable of the person speaking.

There is a slight, almost one second, delay in RXing.

My POWER SAVE is set to OFF

Is this problem inherent for these radios?  My BF-F8HP does not have this problem

Thanx,

Neil

Is the other person using vox? Vox acts upon hearing a sound and as with everything the time it takes to key up can result in the very first sound being lost.
If it’s truly a measurable delay from the time a sound is transmitted until the time it’s received, any humanly discernible delay would not be in RF reception, but delay could easily occur if any digital processing occurs, either at the transmitter or the receiver, or both. 
The other thing is that it’s always best to wait half a second after push PTT before speaking.

We have these problems with frs radios at work. The people using the radios don’t know how to properly key them up before they start talking. (And for the record I tried to talk them out of frs and into Murs so not to take up an frs frequency but they didn’t listen)

I have seen certain PL/DPL codes that cause issues with some radios. If you can see the receiver LED is active before you actually start hearing audio, try switching your radios to a different PL code on the same freq & see if the problem goes away.

For most of what I saw, it was usually the lower frequency PL tones (below 80 Hz) that were the ones that caused problems.

My TYT DMR radio has a function that you have to key it and wait till it chirps a bit before you talk and I often mess up talking too soon!  Darn new technology!  I’ve been using radios for over 40 years so trying to learn a new way kinda sucks.  My cure is to use my call sign first calling the other person.  Better I mess up my call sign than missing who I’m calling…

Tell this to the other person: Press the button... THEN talk....

This fixes the problem 99.998% of the time.. The other 0.002% the problem is because the person did not listen to what you told them to do.

40YEARS!!!! Orrrr…. you could just turn off that function. I guarantee you it’s horrible annoying for every one else. It’s like a backwards roger beep. Plus a call sign at every transmission.  I’d just turn off the radio if I had to hear that.  40 YEARS!!!!!
