HT 1250 Problem

pluto1914 · Post by **pluto1914** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:15 pm

I have a UHF HT 1250 Ver. R05.07.01 and I am having an issue with it. I have heard complaints from other people on my frequency that I come across as very muffled, borderline Charlie Brown's teacher voice. I have tried two speaker mics, one being brand new it I am still having the same problem. Some of the people that have heard this radio have been listening to it right off the UHF Repeater, other have complained about it on a simplex channel, and its even worse when someone listens to it on out simulcasted lowband channel. Now here's the good part. I was told today that it sounded muffled and when I listened to the recording it sounded fine? The primary UHF freq is narrow band, but the simplex channels are not. Anyone know what could be wrong?? Thanks!!

companding.

or the wrong bandwidth.

do you have either of them set up incorrectly?

I do not have the companding feature enabled. By what do you mean wrong bandwith?? Thanks...

try unchecking "low level expansion"
and be sure that "voice pre-emphasis/de-emphasis" is checked.

If you are using 12.5 kHz channels, be sure that you have set the radio for 12.5 kHz channels in the channel screen.

When I turn on this radio it makes a beeping noise, one that is different from the standard two beeps that most motorola radios make. This beep is three beeps and is a higher pitch and the only way to clear the beep is to press any of the buttons on the radio. Is this like an error beep or something?

I got a UHF HT1550 that has the muffled audio on the internal mic, but sounds fine with a speaker-mic attached to it.

Been to the Depot twice, internal mic audio still sucks.

Since the depot cannot seem to figure it out, I had to not recommend them to customers.

anybody check the mic gain?

oh yea, mic gain was actually turned down....alot.

We have 4 HT1550's here in the shop, and all of them sound the same.

Tried everything, mic gain, compression, standing on one leg, emph/demph, checking the mic element opening for obstructions.....it is just way too bassy.

Still working with the depot about this.....it's too nice a radio to give up on

Is this continous or just a power on tone? The 1250 allow you two types of power up tones (if enabled)... Stanard "beep beep beep" (in that order) and a musical 3 tone beep.

so the radio generates an audible tone until user intervention??? never seen an HT1250 do that, even if it had a corrupt codeplug in it. The standard powerup beeps, and even the hideous "musical" powerup beep doesn't play until the user intervenes....they're both under a second in duration and are gone.

i've seen gp300's and ht1000's with a constant tone when their batteries get low but not a ht1250.

the beeping that occurs is three beeps over about 1.5 seconds and it will continue to beep until i push a button, change the channel, or turn the radio off/on. I have since ordered my software and cable and am expecting it anyday now. Would someone be willing to walk me though it??

I had that problem. Check and make sure the reminder alarm isn't set and turned on becuase whether the radio is on or not when the alarm goes off, the next time the radio gets turned on, the alarm goes off, at least that's what mine did. I've got R05.09.06 firmware though

i looked at the menu and it had the reminder set to on...now if i can only figure out the muffled voice problem.

well..here is the scoop. I have tried everything as far as mic gain. That didn't help anything. I tried unchecking de/pre emphasis. no help. Anyone that can help let me know.

so this beeping is normal if you enable reminder alarm,is that correct
