Astro Saber PL 1Z dosen't mute quietly on receive?

I have a astro saber II UHF using it on a major city PD system, and only pl 1Z dosen't mute quielty, it gives a ka-chunk noise at the end of the transmission... but it only happens once in every 2 or 3 transmissions. all other repeater freq's and pl's mute quietly... and just this pl of 1Z on multiple repeater's all act the same (approx 6 channels). anyone have any advice on what quirky thing can be wrong with the radio? the dsp code is old, the firmware is from 1996, can this be the problem?

please help!

Is it just your radio, or everyone's?

Also you may want to try to increase the squelch setting of that channel and see if that has any effect.

well, it's just my radio... but it's odd how it's just pl 1z thats effected. i tried everything from the fine squlch setting to changing the mute/unmute options... i've been intouch w/ a motorola tech and they seem to think it's a quirk in the dsp/ firmware, and it needs to be upgraded... who knows... at this point i'd try anything...

but being it just my radio, and not other radios... why is it doing it just on 1Z, if the radio was out-of-wack it would be messing up on all the freq pairs with all different pl's... correct?
