I was doing some testing of features and got interested in wanting to know more about the 'concurrent rx enable' function (Radio Wide > Rx Audio Control in R07.00.00 CPS).

Before I spend any time messing with this, has anyone else tested this feature in the field, and if so, how well (if at all) has it worked for you?

---------------
From the CPS manual:

Enables the radio to remain unmuted even when multiple transmissions occur at the same time and on the same channel. This is only true when operating on analog talk-around channels. These simultaneous transmissions are only heard when their received signal strengths are relatively strong and equal. Note that the audio from these concurrent transmissions is mostly unintelligible. Receiving simultaneous transmissions is sometimes needed when managing on-scene incidents where it may be very important to receive all communications. For example, having this feature enabled may be crucial to incident management where analog-only communications are used, chaotic conditions are expected, and any received transmission is better than no transmission at all.

Enabling this feature will cause some weak signals that are normally received by the radio to remain muted; therefore it is only recommended to enable this feature if the ability to receive concurrent transmissions has been identified as necessary.

Hey it's a Ham Radio Anti-Doubling feature....been looking for one of those for years! lol

That's about the most assinine feature I've ever heard of.

Anyone who has ever been in a high stress "event" knows that all you ever get are doubled transmissions.

That's why we can't use the Transcrypt rolling code on our tac channel. When it hits the fan there's always doubling and the leading sync code always gets stepped on. All you get is gibberish.

This is also true for P25 digital, where double-keys usually result in neither signal having a decodable bitstream, which ends up in no audio at all (during the duration of the double-key) at the receiving end...
