• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Hi everyone,

Looking to see if anyone has played around at all with the audio profiles (both Rx and Tx) for the Viking VP6000 series. I've got a fleet of Motorolas in service that I played around with to get the best audio, but it took awhile to fine tune it. Our fire department has some VP6000s and wanted me to take a look to see if I could improve any of the audio. It seems to be set pretty default across the board right now. Looking for input on both analog and digital, and for both microphone audio and speaker audio.

Thanks for any input!
Dan

I always just use the "Internal" preset for both Internal Speaker and Microphone profiles and the "KMC-54WD" preset for both external settings. Unless the user is using the Otto 500 speaker mic then I use the "Otto 500 Fire Mic" preset. I don't get any complaints with those. The Analog side I leave at Flat. I assume your users don't like those presets?

Do you leave the gain at zero or use the default for internal which I believe is +6 for digital? Not sure why they don’t provide setting for the KMC-70 under audio but the do under accessory type.

I usually leave them at zero. A few customers have had me increase them. Usually the only gain I might change is for External then either +3 or +6. I don't know why they haven't made a preset yet for the KMC-70, but the KMC-54 seems to still work ok.

FYI, starting in the newest version of Armada, you can manually type in the gain you want in increments of 1, if you use the arrows it goes by 6's.

Also, my mistake, when using the presets it changes Analog also.
