NOTE: I don't know if "Frequency jumping" is the right term but i am just trying to describe what i have heard so forgive my noob description.
What I experienced:
I am using a little Tidradio TD-H3 with a mobile mag-mount antenna on a metal cookie sheet as a makeshift "base" station and checking in to a Simplex Net event.
Everyone involved in the net was using no ctcss tones on ch 20 (462.675)
However I kept getting a high powered station that was for sure on 462.700 (and on a high power repeater in the area) break through while I was on 462.675
I had the TD-H3 in duel watch mode but had both on the same channel 20 (462.675) and I found that if I switched from A to B or B to A when the 700 station broke through the radio would go back to the 675 stations and "squelch" out the one that broke through from the 700 frequency. (I discovered that this worked but was not sure why)
So, my three QUESTIONS:
Was the breaking through to my monitoring radio on 675 from the strong 700 transmission purely because of the power of the transmitting 700 station/repeater and this would happen with any radio?
Was it just because my little cheapo TD-H3 can't handle the situation properly and is either a bug or result of being a cheap radio?
Why does it seem to cut out the interfering 700 station when I switch the A/B channel selector and work until the next start of a subsequent transmission that again breaks through into my monitoring of 675?
Any answers, Input, speculation, similar experiences of this same situation, or questions to me about something I forgot to specify in this post.... all welome. Just trying to figure out why this happened.
