DTMF string transmit squelch stays closed after?

Post by AF6MQ » Sat May 31, 2025 12:56 am

anyone else seeing this?

md-uv390, 20240908fw, analog fm, vfo or memory, press #, "DTMF ENTRY" on screen, i type allstar command "*312345", hit the green button, radio keys up, dtmf sequence is transmitted and received fine. works for any sequence.

problem is the squelch stays closed after the radio stops transmitting and i don't hear the reply from the node.

i mean, after the transmit, red led turns off, then led turns green as the node responds, but the squelch does not open. if i hit the red button, then the squelch opens. seeing this on both tyt and stm cpu uv390.

i just tried that if i do into menu>contacts>fm-dtmf-contacts and transmit one of the string memories, same thing happens, squelch stays closed, i have to hit the red button many times and back all the way out of the menu before squelch will open.

pretty sure this used to work ok. i just upgraded the fw to 20240908 on on 3x uv390 and they all do the same. i know there is a newer beta version, but has this been fixed in that version? i was going to wait till the beta went release.

I guess you have a CTCSS RX defined.
So yes, it was fixed, hence you need to use the latest beta (don't forget to install the latest CPS).
