I haven't tried the razors, but will do.

I do have USB chargers, but they are all individually switched, and on or off makes no difference.

Turning off the iefis makes no difference either.

The only other thing powered is the PM3000 intercom.

I have dual v16 and Razors. Recently ventured further afield and found two frequencies that I am getting carpet wave/static no matter what I do. Comm 1 gives this static at 126.00 and 122.00 (82 db), Comm 2 gives static at 126.00 (74db) only. Has anyone else had this or any ideas what it could be, r...

OK that's an important hint - standard volume change period - please explain what you mean - are you saying the (on purpose) opening of the squelch for a brief time when changing RX volume and there is no station received ? [/quote] Spot on Rainer, exactly that. The "squelch" stops after the standar...

I'm not sure if it means anything but when the antenna cable is disconnected on the 'listening' radio there is no break in squelch. When the squelch breaks it is only the standard volume squelch, as it does when you change the volume on the radio. The squelch only lasts the standard volume change pe...

Just updated both radios, unfortunately the firmware made no difference.

Mike

Thanks Rainier

will give it a go.

Just confirming that the release should be 150519 on that updater?

Mike

Thanks Rainer,

Looking forward to trying out the revised firmware (and I won't be playing with the handheld anymore)

Mike

Thanks rainier

I tried it with a handheld as well, when transmitting within about 8 inches of the antenna it breaks squelch as well.

If you remove the antenna lead from the second comm nothing breaks through on the second comm.

Mike

That's a definite yes from me, I can't listen to a second radio while I'm transmitting anyway.

Mike

The interlock didn't fix the issue, next step is to try and shield the antennas from each other.

It is definitely an RF issue so I'm thinking it is one antenns overpowering the other.

I'll try with foil and then make a more permanent solution of it works.
