KG935 G random signal burst question

[whawha007]

Quick question and thanks for any help. 

I have a KG935 G and when sitting on a channel (say GMRS 16 for instance), the radio will randomly receive a burst of signal but no one is there. I have tried to increase squelch to 9 but same result and also set to 1, again no change. I reset the radio to factory - still the same issue. 

Is there a setting to eliminate this, is this normal or am I'm missing or ? (my TID radios do not have this behavior)

There is no setting to eliminate a strong signal.. Try taking the antenna off, and see if it continues - if it goes away without the antenna, that confirms that the radio is going its job by letting you hear nearby signals, even if you dont like what that signal sounds like.

If it continues with no antenna, try in a different room/house to try and narrow-down if that strong signal is coming from something like LED or florescent lights, your computer, or some other nearby spurious-RF-generator..

If it happens all the time with no antenna, no matter where you are, then the radio might be broken and you will have to decide if it is worth the hassle of contacting BuyTwoWayRadios and asking for a replacement.

Solid logic OffRoaderX.... Took the antenna off, that solved the issue so it looks like the 935G is just being hyper-sensitive to incoming signals and doing it's job. Overall the radio has been amazing so will learn to deal with the random cachunks. 

Thanks for the help.

Computer monitors are notorious for causing RF interference.

And solar arrays on your roof or neighbors

Luckily I don't have to worry about solar arrays. I do have power lines and transformers on three sides of my property. I sometimes get interference from the transformers, especially after a really hard rain with high winds.
