On anytone 878 I remember to set a hotkey to enable and disable it, it is pretty cool. Now my kid has almost 5yo so I don't use VOX anymore, he pick up the radio and calls me when he wake up scared or something.. Here at my country you don't need a gmrs license or any kind of license to operate on FRS channels as long as you respect the power output. Also I set the power level to my kid quansheng to 100mw on a custom firmware. so I don't mind anyone listening it to.... We only use by night. It is a cool feature but other then that I never used it. Hytera's menu looks a little similar to my anytone!
I fiddled with VOX when we were still using Kenwood analog gear. If I remember correctly, we were considering it for hands-free communication during rope access work but decided to use conventional speaker mics instead. That HP-series portable reminds me a lot of an R7, especially the huge display. I work with a guy who got issued an R7 after dropping his 7550e off a moving truck, it's a tremendous improvement in most ways.
@@anarchobacon VOX can be tricky to get right. I definitely see the appeal of it for rope work, especially if you have a way to toggle it on and off easily, I imagine all the PTT ND's could get annoying pretty quick otherwise It seems like more and more radios now are following the trends of cellphones, but about 15 years behind. The big screen and the flashy UI are nice to look at for sure, but I think overall durability might suffer a bit
Can't be paranoid enough when it comes to kids. Had my niece kidnapped broad day light on a Sunday in Canada and thank God she was found by RCMP at the Niagra border where she was to be taken to South America for trafficking. Liked ur idea with radios, need to hip on that. Mohammad from Houston
Ive used VOX to test the range of my radios when I couldn't get anyone to help. I take one radio with Vox and sit it next to a stereo with talk radio on it. Then, take the other radio and see how far i csn get a signal from the home radio playing talk radio through VOX.
Caveat emptor ? Depending on the output power, but anyone listening to a scanner, or another operator, may likely hear your unintentional radios transmissions ! Like your Wife screaming at you, or your wife just screaming ? There's always someone scanning the airwaves, listening for whatever they can hear ! Just Say'n ! 🤔
@@sleeve8651 well for one, that's why the radios aren't on all the time, and two, that's why I'm running them encrypted. So they may hear the signal there, but all they're gonna hear is encrypted digital packets.

@@KGB-FSB that's awful! I'm glad to hear she was found!
Very good video! I'll definitely be using this!

@@RicArmstrong that's a great idea!
@@resilientcivilian2597
Yeah, just make sure the volume is up on the stereo that's playing into the VOX radio.
I've found that confirmed data calls (such as a call alert or text message) also work well for that sort of thing.
@@anarchobacon this too. And remote monitor works well too if the radio is capable and optioned for it

If its on a lot the transmitter will heat up and all if these have lithium batteries
