I have a VHF HT1000, and I am not getting the first few seconds of a transmission from another unit NOT using MDC? Is there a setting that I need to apply to get the first few seconds of a transmission?

Are you simplex or on a repeater? If on the repeater, it takes a second (or few milliseconds) to key up so it's necessary to pause before speaking. If your working simplex, I'm not sure.

It's on a repeater... My scanner picks up the part of the transmission that I am missing. Is it maybe a squelch setting or something??

Also, if you have a PL set on your radio, be sure to check for that, because don't forget, a scanner doesn't have to search of the PL, so it takes the scanner a much shorter time to pick up a transmission.

Nand,

I am using MDC, do I need to lower the DOS Coast Time and/or the Auto Time Mute Duration?

Yes, the DOS coast time is the time the audio is muted on the start of the transmission's reception. Same for the other settings.

I was unsucessful getting the HT1000 to mute the MDC on de-key from other radios and repeater. The key up mute worked just fine muting for a lenth of time I could adjust.
Maybe I have/had the wrong settings or because it is a "A" model VHF radio.
I think some radio users just like to hear their MDC tones, drives me and other users nuts!

I was able to get the MDC on the de-key to partailly mute in the receiver but what a hassle. I don't rember exactly how I did it on a A model VHF HT1000. I still have to hear the MDC and after a while it drives us NUTZZ.
Then there is the dumb "dealers" and techs who do not setup the Quantar repeaters correctly and the users have to listen to ALL the realy long "squelch crashes".
Sorry, I will get down off my Coke box now.
