Another thought.  If this phenomenon of missing the first couple of words happens when communication with a paticular individual, then perhaps that individual is "Quick Keying", or not fully engaging the PTT on their radio before speaking.  If this seems to be the case, encourage them to consciously be sure they're pressing the PTT and pausing slightly before speaking.  This is often a problem with newer or inexperienced operators in the Ham world 73 de Ray, AE6H, WQXK637 On Tuesday, March 31, 2020, 12:33:37 PM PDT, Bill Card willardscard@gmail.com wrote:

"I am using a UV-5RA and it has about a sec delay before I hear the other person talk is this normal or is there a setting someplace that I can change? A real pain as it cuts off the other persons one or 2 first words."

I've followed the discussion but haven't seen anyone mention that, if the other person in your communication is using VOX, you'll lose the first few words of his/her transmission. When I used to use it with CBs on motorcycles, we had to blow into the mic, wait a second, then transmit to avoid loss of the first few words. So it might not be your radio at all._______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Ray at rdhutch@pacbell.net To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com
