I just bought some VX2200s. They are fantastic in every way except for one: they sound very quiet to other radios. It is doing it on all channels irregardless of things like CTCSS security codes or which frequency I'm on.
In case I'm not being clear what I mean is that we can hear perfectly with the 2200sbut other guys can't hear us very well. They say it sounds like we are whispering when in fact we are almost yelling. I'm sure its something that I programmed incorrectly but I'm not sure what. Any tips where to start looking? Currently I have the power setting at high and the squelch at 4. The only thing that looks odd to me on the programming software is that when I created my channels it seemed to somewhat randomly assign checkmarks to RX,TX and OPT under clockshift. I have no idea what clockshift is. It doesn't seem to matter what channel it is we are always quiet sending and plenty of volume receiving. For the most part my channels are very basic- we send and receive on the same frequency and all of my antennas are set to the middle channel of the group like they always have been.
