Kenwood DMR talk-permit tone?

[Josh]

I've looked all over the software and have done searches for it but I'm not having much luck.

I have a couple DMR capable Kenwood NX5xxx series radios and while I normally prefer fewer electronic noises than more, I have found it really helpful, especially when driving, to have a "talk permit" tone when talking into a DMR system.

My radios give the "bonk" when a repeater can't be reached, but is there a spot to enable a tone for when the talk path is completed?

This would be for DMR conventional repeater operation.

Thanks

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure it is Optional Features 2 -> PTT Proceed Tone.

Don't think you can differentiate between analog and DMR though.

I'll give this a go... might get annoying for analog or NXDN.

It can, but I find it useful to have a consistent OK-to-talk prompt when you use a mix of analog, DMR, maybe PTT ID signalling, etc.. That way, my brain doesn't have to be bothered with remembering which channel I'm on, distracting me from more important things, like driving.

other than you hearing the chip to talk, they wont hear it unless you turn on the AFTER PTT ()

The PTT proceed tone is the correct option, we use it to make the users pause before talking. Some of our users start talking right as they key the radio!

Josh and I talked over the phone and got it straightened out.

PTT Proceed, MDC BOT, NO SIDE TONE, works like he wants it to.

Umm.... well, you didn't talk to me.. but using the PPT proceed tone as does what I am looking for for DMR... I'll have to see how it will grow on me for simplex and analog modes.

my error. Had another guy call me after seeing this post. Then another guy called me also wanting the same info. All Good.
Again, the PTT-Proceed is all that is, a go-ahead chirp. (or burp) whatever...

I enabled it on the NX700 and the NX200 I use to use at work. Got so use to it, when I used my TM-V71A before I sold it, I was pausing waiting to hear the PPT that never came.

It's good because it forces you to pause and talk after keying the radio.

I set the delay for 200ms, good for junk radios to decode PL/DPL and pass audio before you start talking.

I use it on all my radios that are capable of it. For my XTS2500's, I use the clear TX alert for the same reason.

MDC BOT, NO SIDE TONE

But how will everybody know you has publik safety creds?
