try FleetSync1 and 2400bps

[caver456]

this will reduce noise burst time ('static' at beginning and end of all handheld transmissions), since the 5170 IC radios have no setting for fleetsync noise burst reduction. Other benefits would hopefully include less time to wait before the beep when transmitting from handhelds. Reliability is the main question, but the whole batch needs to be on the same setting. Figure out a good way to test it. Maybe have some folks at the edge of simplex range, with one of each radio, and have one IC radio set for FS2 1200 (as it is now) and one set for FS1 2400, and see if everything comes through (CID, locators, etc).

HI Tom. Castlegar Search and Rescue is running 2400bps both simplex and through a repeater. Seems to work ok, When comms get noisy it does fail. Still it is better than waiting for an Inreach, and most of the time it is good.
