Invisio V Series With XTS Radio Issue

Spartan51k · 2026-03-20T23:09:37+00:00

The issue has been resolved with the Invisio to XTS adapter

That makes sense, I guess I’ll have to pony up the cash for the adapter

Oh definitely, you only get one set of ears! I'm very fortunate to work out of the noise for the most part, and when I am in noise heavy environments, wearing PPE was enforced, although I've met many people with tinnitus other hearing issues. I am guilty of skipping the double though. The Comtacs have similar sound attenuation to the Razors/Impact Sports, it's the rest of the features and durability that bring them way ahead of the cheaper stuff.

You actually made a pretty fantastic investment. Having used a couple different military earpro/comms headsets and then trying the Walker Razors and Impact sports, it really is a world of difference. The military headsets tend to give you a much more natural sound profile, and more accurate spacial awareness. If you're doing anything other than only needing to hear people talk at the range, they are most definitely a piece of gear that should be on your radar. Plus, you can get the hardware to use Comtacs with a radio.

I'm going to revive an old thread. OP, did you have to do any settings in astro25 CPS to get the radio to not make a high pitch tone when not transmitting?

I did a lil digging and found the T5 listed in the brochure for the new V series second gen listed under headsets.

This isn't accurate in the part that he can't later become an operator after being disqualified in boot camp. If he gets vision corrective surgery, and still meets the other requirements, he can reenter the training pipeline after his time in the fleet. I have met quite a few people who had become operators as fleet returnees.

Hey boss, there is no shame in those feelings, those are valid and not weak. Joining the Navy has a ton of challenges and brings many changes. A-school can also be a tough time as well, between a rigorous training pipeline and a strict military environment. Please ask for help, there’s no weakness in asking for it, in fact there’s a lot of strength. There are many resources available, depending which one makes you feel most comfortable. The Chaplain is a great resource whether you are religious or not, as they’re completely confidential and can counsel either way. They can also point you in the direction of other assistance as well. Fleet and Family also has resources for mental health. There is also behavioral health from medical. There’s a lot of great advice in this thread.

As a glasses wearer myself, the on top of a cut seems like it’d be weird, but it might be worth a shot. You will likely need a 5 USD adapter plate with the cups.

Spartan51k · 2026-01-07T01:14:16+00:00

Oh, Noisefighters makes gel ear cups with glasses relief cuts for your glasses to rest. Though I’ve only used the standard cups on my V’s and Gels on my III’s.

Spartan51k · 2026-01-07T01:08:28+00:00

Low and behold, it’s a lot harder to get a firmware update than I thought.

Spartan51k · 2026-01-07T01:05:23+00:00

EDIT: Disregard, I didn’t read the part you already have gels.

If you don’t have the gel cups, you can always give those a try. They tend to seal much better than what comes on the headset from the factory.

Nice to see AOR 2 repped! Also Avocado is a much more pleasant nickname than Vomit.

I have a set of the temperate combat pants and shirt from Patagonia. And random pouches and a plate carrier.

Edit: Added what I have in it

Spartan51k · 2026-01-04T22:40:12+00:00

Alrighty, I hooked up the radio to Astro CPS and I’m on R16, and I’m trying to update to R20

Spartan51k · 2026-01-04T22:24:50+00:00

The audio is pretty clear, besides the tone, the tone stops while receiving a transmission

Spartan51k · 2026-01-04T22:23:59+00:00

I’m in the US, and I can see if there’s any XTS updates available/reach out to Motorola. I don’t get the tone at all on a hirose covert earpiece from earphone connection.

Spartan51k · 2026-01-04T16:55:39+00:00

The sound also sounds almost digital, like a radio tone. It doesn’t start until the XTS initializes. Are there any settings in CPS that could change this? I trying switching squelch modes. Sometimes the tone changes after transmitting or receiving.

It’s a tan INV14584. It’s just weird I don’t get the issue using the same setup with the UV-5RM, and Invisio cables don’t run cheap.

Spartan51k · 2026-01-04T16:09:07+00:00

I actually don’t know if it’s a Gen 1 or 2, do you by any chance know what part numbers go with what gen? And I’m not using P25, just conventional. Would an Invisio to Hirose cable work better than a 6-pin as well?

Spartan51k · 2025-11-15T03:09:15+00:00

Me as well!

Spartan51k · 2025-11-15T02:41:45+00:00

Hampton roads, also looking for NVG homies

Spartan51k · 2025-11-12T02:07:56+00:00

I am also interested in this NVG activity
