Help with PTT Volume

[sighting]

I have a requirement where we need an audible pre and post tone. So I enabled PTT and RogerBeep./
Problem I am having is that the PTT is extremely loud with "in ear headsets" and I cant find where to turn the volume down for it.
Radios are NX-820 and NX-320's. Any help would truly be appreciated.

Firmware is the one just before the release yesterday, and I have the latest programing software for them.

Thank you

Is this juts not doable?
Cant fathom how the proceed tone can be so loud and the only options available is on or off?

Open your KPG-141.
Read your radio. Save that file.

Read the radio again and go to Optional Features 1, Common Page 2.
You can adjust the various tone levels there. I don't use the PTT tones, so not sure which one it is, you'll need to experiment.

Looks like it may be the "sidetone" level setting.

Thank you @mmckenna For testing I set all Tone Levels in Optional Features 1, Common Page 2. to setting 5 (out of max 31). Still no luck -
PTT Release Tone seems to follow the main volume.

 

[mmckenna]

Use Tone Level Offset, or Maximum Tone Volume, or whatever they call it.

Optional Features 1, Common Page 2.
I Tried Setting Tone Volume Offset to -5 and the rest to off.
All tones are muted now except for the PTT Release Tone.
It still follows the main speaker volume

do you need to hear PTT Proceed tone?? if no, then uncheck that on Opt 2 Conventional.
That's the PTT proceed tone.

Ideally yes we would like to hear both, reason is when I am inside the race car its kind of loud and hectic. Sometimes you let go of the PTT button too quick (or your thumb slips of it). So I use the PPT Proceed Tone so I can hear inside the Helmet that I pressed the mic button and then I make sure I hear the PTT Release tone at then end to make sure I sent the full message. We do 12 and 24hour races so comms is super important for us.

For clarity:
PTT Proceed Tone seems to work fine
Its the PTT Release Tone that can't be tamed.

Let me make sure I am hearing your statement correctly here, you're saying "PTT RELEASE TONE" in the ear


Are you saying this?


This is emitted over the air to other radios, you UNKEYED a radio.

This is not adjustable, as that is what the radio volume is set to, and that
booger is annoying. No changing that.


or you saying this?


Because THIS is controlled by this



Please give a little more detail unless this is what your are trying to silence.

@kd4efm Correct on the First one..
Optional Features 2 > Conventional > PPT Release Tone

 

[kd4efm]

yeah, turn it off....

That signal is produced by the user/person talking, as it is injected into the tx audio circuit from the DSP.
That is not something that is field adjustable. I am digging through my NX-x00 manuals where i saw the circuit layout for it.
The 20 series does not show that.


EDIT:
NX-x00 series


NX-x20
