Squelch tail issue on certain radios.

[afp98926]

Hello all! I'm new to the 2 way radio world so I'm still learning.

I own two Retevis HA1Gs and one Baofeng UV-5G Plus. When I transmit from Baofeng to Retevis there is an obnoxiously loud squelch tail at the end. When I transmit from Retevis to Baofeng there is a very small squelch tail, and when I transmit from Retevis to Retevis there is nearly zero squelch tail. I turned the STE setting "on" on the Baofeng and that didn't make a difference.

Is this a settings issue that I'm having or something else?

If you are using CTCSS or DCS on the decode side of the receiving radio it might have to do with the timing parameters of the reverse burst feature of the transmitting radio or if the transmitting radio has reverse burst. Given the fact that you're dealing with cheap Chinese POS radios, it may be questionable that those radios even have reverse burst.
