APX6500 volume tone removal

[thedanderzone]

Hi all,

We have an odd phenomenon on our fleet of APX6500 mobile radios. We have 5 ambulances (dual O7 head, single brick) that when turning the volume up or down, the radio is silent. All alert tones are enabled, such as scan alert, key press, etc. However, we run two APX6500 mobiles (single O7 head, single brick) in a supervisor vehicle and when you turn the volume up or down, it alerts with a tone at that specific volume (if the volume is low, the tone is low, etc.) I have filed through many help folders, forums, and checked about every CPS option I can think of, and I cannot figure out why this occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Nope, not it. I’ve tried that several times.

just curious, did you try adjusting it from both control heads with the same result?

Yes, it happens from both control heads in the ambulances. In our supervisor vehicle we only have single head radios, and that’s really the only difference. I have a sightly different codeplug in the supervisor vehicle than in the ambulances, but I cloned the ambulance codeplug into the supervisor vehicle and it still didn’t work the way I was hoping! Lol
