  Sue ThompsonAug 12, 2025
  If the voice is weak, intermittent, or totally inactive during reception on your Hytera Portable Radio, it could be due to several reasons. The battery voltage might be low, so try recharging or replacing the battery. Alternatively, the volume level may be set too low; increase it by rotating the Volume Control knob. Also, check if the antenna is loose or incorrectly installed, and reattach it if necessary. Finally, the speaker might be blocked, so clean its surface.

  If you're unable to communicate with other group members using your Hytera Portable Radio, consider these possibilities: your frequency or signal strength may be low compared to others, so verify your TX/RX frequency and signal strength are correct. Also, the channel type (digital or analog) may be set incorrectly; ensure you are on the correct channel. Finally, you may be too far away from other members; try moving closer to them.

  Anthony ThompsonAug 23, 2025
  If you can't hear anyone due to excessive noise and hiss on your Hytera Portable Radio, it might be because you are too far from other members; try moving closer. Also, your location could be unfavorable, such as being blocked by high buildings or in an underground area; move to an open, flat area, restart the radio, and try contacting again. Finally, external disturbance like electromagnetic interference could be the cause; stay away from equipment that might be causing interference.

  If you are hearing unknown voices or noise on the channel of your Hytera Portable Radio, it could be due to interference from other radios using the same frequency. Try changing the frequency or adjusting the squelch level. Also, if the radio is in analog mode, it may be set with no signaling; set signaling for all radios operating at the same frequency to avoid interference.
