I get that with the program for the VX2100/2200. I click OK, and it will still program. Vertex tek support did not have an asnwer on that one, but every radio works fine after.

Re: vx-180 problems!

Good guess!! I only used the primary call. Never could get it to go off for two tone sets. Do you have the DOS software?? I will look for a cpoy if needed.

Re: vx-180 problems!

The custom tones are numbered 118 & 126. Bad news is you need the DOS software for it. Winders will not work for the Avcall tones which yours are a decendent of.

Re: vx-180 problems!

Disable the BELL function. Send me the tones needed and I can cross refernce for the custom tones. They are a 3 digit code entered in the paging tone menu. Select either on duty or off duty. Off duty the radios is quiet untill paged. On duty it will receive radio traffic and activate when paged. PB

Re: VX-6000 Programming Difficulties

Make sure you selected VX6000 in the main menu. Think it is in the hardware section. Sometimes the software for what ever reason, whould not just automatically recognize the model of radio. Sometimes, rarely, the old software wuould play games and not read a radio with newer firmware. Love Vertex, b...

Vertex programming and Vista

Got new laptop. Some of my vertex software works fine. Some not at all. Any one having any luck figuring out how to get all to work. I had better luck with the older software for my 180's and 5500's.

Thanks in advance

Re: VX-920 2 tone decode problems

The only possibility could be the call beep level. I have mine set at 6. I looked thru both my 820 and 920 and both are set the same. If that does not work, e-mail me a copy of the programmign, I can dump it in my radio and try to finger it out.,
