Setting 3: VOX “off” threshold
Instead of using one squelch point (like in a CB radio), your voice board uses a dual squelch. After you have
triggered the mic using the VOX on threshold, the board monitors your voice volume until it goes below a second
(lower) threshold. Once your voice volume tapers off below the VOX off threshold, the board determines that you
are done talking and proceeds to automatically output a random click/static sound effect.
The default setting is 2, which is a nominal VOX off level. By default, both the VOX on and off levels are equal,
simulating a normal single-level squelch. If the mic is never closing after saying a couple words, increment this
setting by one button press and try again.
NOTE: If you make the off threshold greater than the on threshold, the board will ALWAYS keep the mic open.
When you press the button 3x in SETUP MODE, the board will respond by blinking the LED 3x and playing one
short beep and one long beep. The new setting is also stored in the board’s memory, so when you power the unit on
again it will remember your settings.
Here is a diagram of how the squelch works. Once your voice volume surpasses the VOX on thresh, the mic is
opened. The mic stays open until your voice volume goes below the VOX off threshold. You can see if you make
the VOX off thresh greater than the VOX on thresh, the unit will always keep the mic opened once triggered.
Setting 4: End static sound effects on/off flag
Pushing the button 4x in SETUP MODE will toggle the end click and static sound effects on and off. By default, the
static sounds are enabled. But if you are using the voice amp in a bounty hunter costume, you might want to disable
the end static and clicks sounds. This setting allows you to do this.
Setting 5: Bounty Hunter voice modulation on/off flag
Pushing the button 5x in SETUP MODE will enable the voice modulation mode for the 2
nd
bounty hunter voice
effect. This gives more of a “Boussh” type voice effect. If you are using the voice amp in a bounty hunter costume,
you might want to disable the end static and clicks sounds shown above. Pushing the button 5x for a second time
will disable this voice modulation.
