5W, its a cca 20km. Other repeater has a RX 169,300 and TX 162,275 and this work ok, no beep.

Edit, when i set 4W, no problem. Why is on 5W only ?

I have the same bug on DM-1801.
So what I've found...
If the radio is in silent mode and when I transmit, right after transmitting radio beeps and squelch becomes disabled. Switching radio off and on helps to enable squelch again.
If I set radio in beep mode (and set it to -24 dB to get pseudosilent), squelch is OK.

I've noticed it since not working silent mode bug was fixed in August.
What is your callsign ?

Please give full details of your channel setup.

FM. Wide or Narrow
CTCSS or DCS settings
Any other settings on the radio which are not the default settings


Basically, I can't replicate your bug, given the limited information you posted.

FM works fine, Sound set to silent. squelch opens and closes as it should.
However I have not enabled CTCSS or DCS, which you may have enabled.
