Another thought. If this phenomenon of missing the first couple of words
happens when communication with a paticular individual, then perhaps that
individual is "Quick Keying", or not fully engaging the PTT on their radio
before speaking. If this seems to be the case, encourage them to consciously
be sure they're pressing the PTT and pausing slightly before speaking. This is
often a problem with newer or inexperienced operators in the Ham world

I've followed the discussion but haven't seen anyone mention that, if the other
person in your communication is using VOX, you'll lose the first few words of
his/her transmission. When I used to use it with CBs on motorcycles, we had to
blow into the mic, wait a second, then transmit to avoid loss of the first few
words.
So it might not be your radio at
all._______________________________________________
