Mute All RX AUDIO ON APX8500HP
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2021 6:09 am
Hi Guys!
So, I've searched here hi and low, but no joy. Is there a way via the CPS in Conventional non-trunked mode to program a control head option button to allow a single button push on the APX8500HP 02 CH to mute any and all received audio? I'm not talking about the tone beep sounds that eminate when pressing CH buttons, which is what the MUTE option does in the control head menu. I'm looking for a way to kill all received audio via a single button push, such as the big orange button on the upper right hand side of the CH (given it is not programmed for Emergency, or anything else). This way, if a cell call comes in, for instance, I could simply tap an option button programmmed for Audio MUTE to silence all received audio, and then re-tap it after the call to restore the RX audio. Right now, I have to rotate CCW the big 02 CH main knob a ton of times to lower the receive audio all the way down to zero, then undo this to restore the audio. Big PITA.
Any help much appreciated!
