• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I've tried the PMMN4025 and PMMN4050 remote speaker microphones. When transmitting, the individuals listening state that I am clear and understandable. However, some individuals are annoyed and stated that it sounds like my voice is muffled a bit and/or sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Anyone else having this type of problem? If so, did you discover a way to correct this and/or did you find another remote speaker microphone that works for you? Any programming software suggestions to correct this? BTW, I'm transmitting on an analog UHF channel.

We are VHF using the public safety mics. We also get the "tunnel" sound on occasion but not many complaints on sounding muffled. We have the “Analog Mic AGC” enabled. Could be worth disabling and experimenting with the mic gain to see if the echo could be eliminated.

If SOME radios say you sound great and SOME say you sound muffled. To me that would lead me to check the AGC and or Pre - De Emphasis of the TX or RX units.
With that said i have not programmed an XPR6550. But since your operating it on analog conventional mode it should operate just like an HT1250 or similar unit.

Thanks for the tips. I was able to make some adjustements after turning of the AGC. I'm assuming that means that I'm turning off the Impres features on the radio, but at least I have a sound that everyone can live with.

Make sure your CPS is in "Expert" view;
-View, click the "Expert" option.

Under the "General Settings" you may uncheck the Analog Mic AGC and Digital Mic AGC options.
You can then set your gain levels manually. There are also gain level settings for remote mics under the "Accessories" section.
