Hello all,
Wondering what you are all running for your radio profiles, if you've deviated at all from the default setting.
We are an EMS-only agency who occasionally are in noisy environments, but nothing too crazy like a fire department would be. We also run primarily on analog conventional channels. We have 10 APX6000Li portables with the intention of purchasing enough to outfit the rest of our fleet within the next year. All operate with either an XE500 mic or a standard PMMN4065A mic (intentions of outfitting all radios with XE500.)
Our current setup that seems to work the best is as follows (settings are the same between radio and remote speaker mic):
TX
Noise reduction: Aggressive - we haven't noticed a degradation of audio quality with this setting in normal environments.
Group setting gain: Reduce feedback
Group setting audio equalization: XTS
RX
Alert tones volume offset: -15
Group setting audio equalization: Reduce feedback
We've tested these settings quite extensively on both analog and digital conventional with great success. Much better than the default settings, and would likely work well for fire department applications as well. We also disabled all of the intelligent lighting and enabled the solid green color for the top display as the majority of our personnel felt as though it was easier on the eyes at night.
It really is a slick setup for us.
