Hello Friends! I'm new to the forum and newer to GMRS radios. I have a Wouxon KG-935G+ that I'm working on programming. I have the GMRS part working fine. I'm trying to set up some receive only channels for scanning and I'm seeing some behavior I didn't expect. (Could be my lack of experience with these radios.)
Here's the scenario, a department I want to listen to uses the same receive frequency with different CTCSS tones for the different areas. For example:
Channel Frequency TSQL Tone
1 460.300 100.0
2 460.300 151.4
With the radio scanning and activity on channel 2, the radio will stop on channel 1 but no audio is heard. If I manually advance the radio to channel 2 I can hear the audio.
The only behavior I have to compare this to is some Uniden scanners. On my SDS100, using the same frequencies and tones, the scanner will not detect activity on channel 1 and will stop on channel 2. I suspect the 935 is 'hearing' the signal on channel 1 but since the tone doesn't match the squelch does not open.
Is this expected behavior for these transceivers or am I doing something wrong?

Here is what it looks like in CHIRP:
