I can't speak for any Wouxun radio, but I have tested at least a dozen Puxing VHF radios, and none of them had reverse burst encode or decode. Besides, the CTCSS tones were sloppy and nothing like a pure sine wave one should expect in a "professional" radio. The Puxing PX777, in particular, sets the low point in cheap radio quality. Check out my Technical Assessment in the Files section of the Puxing777 Group.

Such a simple thing as reverse burst is added into this cheap radio, but yet our over priced ham rigs don't even offer DPL half the time. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> , Ralph Mowery <ku...@...> wrote: > > Just about anything around $ 100 or less is a 'throw-away' when it quits on you > if you can not fix it yourself.
