TRX-1 duck voice
Duck voice? sounds like you're hearing encryption to me. The DSP level adapt doesn't have anything to do with that - The DSP level adapt is defined AS: DSPLevelAdapt Controls how fast* the DSP adjusts to varying P25 levels. Lower values correspond to slower rates and higher values correspond to faster rates. Small adjustments (2-4 notches) are recommended.
Mine is 254. I've had it at 64, 100, 15 and now 254 and it never caused any duck voice. It sounds like you're either hearing encryption of a talk-group you forgot to lock out OR the Phase II TDMA voice which is louder than normal. OR the scanner's broke.
