I'm a retired career two-way radio tech and I'll
add a "me too" to Joe's FM-mode observations
below. He's correct.

I no longer work in the 2-way field... so I don't
have easy access to a Communications service monitor,
but I can say that on-air tests on a 6-meter repeater
bear out the lack of audio... When I worked in a
Motorola shop (half-a-lifetime ago)we used to shoot
for a CTCSS deviation of between 450 and 600Hz...
and Josh is right on with his comment regarding
a target voice deviation of 5.5KHz. I also agree
that the squelch needs some work... As the operator
at the far end during my on air testing commented...
"You'll need a lot more audio if you expect to work
anyone in a mobile who may be riding with the windows
open!"
I am certain that these problems will be addressed in a
subsequent firmware update... and hope it will be soon.
73,
