Yesterday, someone brought me a radio to install one of my VoiceMax
beta-test units. I fired up the radio before the installation... and
noticed that the speaker made an annoying loud pop sound when the
signal fell under the squelch. This is the second unit I have noticed
this on. Anyone know what is causing this? Sounds like a big DC pulse
when the squelch kicks in. I haven't had time to look at this issue
with a scope. Anybody else experience this? Any fixes?

I've identified the problem. It seems that the squelch transistion on
this model is on the order of 500uS. That is unecessarily fast and
causes a fast spike to the speaker when the receiver dips under the
squelch. I need to slow the squelch response time to eliminate this
problem. This shouldn't be a big deal... but I ran out of time last
night. I will be posting a fix for this issue in a day or so. Shame on
Cobra for allowing this annoying problem to get into production.
