APX 4000 Low audio level transmitted

[patrickhunter614]

Has anyone had any issues with low audio level on APX 4000's? I have about 20 of them that I programmed for my fire department, since programming they seem to be transmitting very low audio levels, I attempted to set the Gain/Sensitivity to Loud Output and it seemed to help a small bit, but still pretty low compared to dispatch. These are all using analog VHF channels, and seem to be the same whether on the repeater, or direct. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did these radios sound fine before you programmed them or are they new to this agency?

They are new to the department, I'm sure it is probably something in the programming, I copied what I could from our older APX 1000s, but some of the programming didn't completely copy due to the different models of radios, this was also my first attempt using CPS.

If this is your first time using CPS, how did you program the radio in this post...

APX4000 PTT ID Display on a Conventional System?

I am trying to program an APX 4000 VHF on a Conventional system. I am just wondering if it is at all possible to have the radios transmit and display an ID or name associated with the radio? If so, how would I go about setting each radios Alias ID that it would transmit? Any help would be...

Hmm, maybe it took them a year and a half to notice the low audio??? 😅

I meant that these 4000s were my first attempt at programming, and I've noticed the low audio since programming, no one else complains about it, they just turn up their volume high. I've changed the gain/sensitivity such as changing it to Loud output, Ive changed the noise reduction from aggressive to normal, and like I said, seems to help a little but not as what I think it should. Also the 1000s were programmed by someone else on the department before me.
