Yup, the new update to the 396 seems to have 'added' some tendency for the 'machinegun' effect to South RCS loop. Never had it before, I think, but then I mostly listened to South with the Pro 96.

Cures the problem for some systems, makes it worse with others. Typical firmware fiddling.

Mike,

We need more details from you. If you can provide it.

Keep track of what 'Frequency' you hear this type of stuff on.
Just like what 'Steele' did in his post above.

On the 996 after I updated to V2 I had CC issues and where it gets stuck on a freq and makes a bunch of static or the Machine Gunning effect on one freq 867.0625 South Zone...

Then I had to set the P-25 set time at 1000ms so I dont miss anything and so far it works...
