Viking VM7000 Button Mapping

[Markb]

Hello All. My agency is gradually updating our mobile fleet to the Viking VM7000 Series with the KCH 20 contol heads. I am still working through some of the programming idiosyncrasies.

My question is this: With regard to the button menu, in Armada, you can build multiple lines/pages of menu items and select with one of the 4 triangle buttons across the bottom of the head unit. What is the name of the key assignment to enable paging through these menus? I have the left button with the square icon assigned to access the main menu, but I don't see the option to "page through" the button menu items.

Thanks,
Mark

There is no page through, but there is second function, that is like a shift key.

Hi Evans. Thanks for the reply!
In Armada, it says you can add up to 10 "pages" of soft buttons. Any idea how you'd access those? I'm in the software now and I'm not even seeing a second function assignment. Now that I'm looking, I do see a "soft buttons left" and "soft buttons right" assignment. Perhaps that is it? I don't have a radio to test it with at the moment.

Yes, the "Soft Buttons Left"/"Soft Buttons Right" functions will cycle through each page of soft keys.

At least with the KCH-19, the circle (Select) button defaults to opening the menu when pressed and held. I use the square button (F2) to cycle through soft key pages.

There you go Mark, I dont have a VM viking to speak of, but like the portable, you can menu the soft pages and toggle through.
The VP8K, the D pad allows me to scroll through the various soft menus i built for it.

Thanks gang for jumping in with the info.
