KMC-70 Speaker Mic

[Deziel0495]

We just received a shipment of VP5430's with the KMC-70 speaker microphone.

During training we discovered that only the PTT on the speaker mic works. The other 3 buttons do not work (including emergency which we have enabled). I'm assuming this was something overlooked in programming?

Yes, check programming.
Also know the ptt on the radio can be effected also. There's a check box for that too

I did some programming for a department last night, they are on our statewide trunking system. I was programming their radios and KMC-70 mics. Everything worked well, except for one radio mic. When I went back to look what I had programmed, I had the mic programmed for conventional channels, but had forgotten to program it for the trunked system. May want to check that also.
It is easy to forget one step in the programming and goof something up.

All the buttons on the radio itself work as intended, with or without the mic attached.

These radios are on our provincial trunked system so I've contacted our system coordinator to see if he can sort it out. There was also the issue of time display on the screen, but no menu option to set it. So every radio displayed a different time (and also the wrong time). Expensive to make 2 changes that were overlooked during programming but I understand it happens.

Just wanted to give the update that we got the programming all sorted out and a work order has been submitted to fix the issues. Thanks for the feedback.

Good old radio clocks, Rather not have a clock vs having a wrong clock that's for sure.
