QYT KT-8900D Dual Band Mini Radio

Sorry to break into your conversation guys. I'm new on this forum and also new to the QYT 8900. I ordered mine from Amazon a few weeks ago and as shown, the manual sucks. Very little info available on the operation of it online either.

When I press the monitor button, the squelch opens and stays open unless there is an active conversion on a channel. The same when scanning channels. When not in the monitor mode, I can see the scan stop, and the green activity light glowing, but no sound coming through. I also noticed that sometimes I can hear a faint conversation behind the squelch static.

I guess my question is - is my radio screwed? I know this is a cheap radio and won't perform like my kenwood, but I like the size because I can fit it easily in my truck.

Any help will be appreciated!
Matt
