RTP packet. Having some hang time prevents the radio from being unkeyed momentarily in the
absence of a small number of packets.
When selected, the final setting option—
Disable—
never allows any audio received from the
network to key the attached radio. This can be useful in situations where one intends only to
monitor a radio’s receive signal.
3.3.5.2
Network COR VOX/VMR Sensitivity
The
Network COR VOX/VMR Sensitivity
setting performs the same function as the
Radio COR
Sensitivity
, but applies to audio coming from the SIP network. It specifies the level of audio that
is required to be considered “valid” and, therefore, to cause the radio to transmit the audio. If you
are using VOX or VMR and the transmitter is not activating reliably you may need to increase
the sensitivity. If the transmitter is being activated by background noise, you may need to
decrease the sensitivity.
3.3.5.3
Network COR VOX/VMR/Packet Hang Time
The
Network COR VOX/VMR/Packet Hang Time
setting performs the same function as the
Radio
COR Hang Time
, but applies to the audio coming from the SIP network. If the transmitter
deactivates or “drops out” between words or syllables, you may need to increase the hang time.
For the most natural conversation, do not set the hang time to any amount longer than necessary
to remove the drop outs.

Audio Adjustments
3.3.6.1
Transmit Audio Delay
In some specific applications (such as interfacing to a trunked radio system) it may be necessary
to delay the audio going to the radio. The amount of delay is set in the
Transmit Audio Delay
field. See Section 5.6 of the
System Troubleshooting
section for more information.
3.3.6.2
Receive Audio Boost
The audio input level is adjusted via a control on the rear panel. The instructions for setting this
adjustment can be found in Section 2.8.3. If additional received audio gain is necessary, it may
be selected here, with the additional gain added in the digital domain.
When the radio settings have been made, click
Save
to save them. Then click
Dialing
to go to the
Dialing
page (shown in Figure 3-6).
