peak. Command 173 0 D or unkey may be entered as many times as needed to get the level set.
This sets the DVR to play back tracks at the exact same level they were recorded at. If the
transmit level is set correctly on the controller, playing this track should cause about 3KHz of
deviation. Finally, erase track 0 by entering Command 174 D or unkey.
The Audio Check Command:
Before executing any DVR commands on the RLC-CLUB you should enter Command 182 1 D
or unkey to tell the RLC-CLUB that the DVR is installed. The controller will respond by
saying "one". If you do not do this, some of the commands will work, but others will not.
The easiest way to test the DVR is to execute the "Audio Check" command. To use it, simply
key your radio and enter "Command 170", then unkey. Key up again and say something.
When you unkey, the DVR will play whatever you said back to you, then erase it. If this
command works, you have the DVR connected and working. You can execute this command
as many times as you want to without harm and without wearing anything out. It can also be
used to help you know if your signal is noisy into the repeater; just use this command to record
a test message and you can listen to your own audio. Yet another use for this command is to
find out how much record time (memory) is still available. To do this, start recording and count
off the minutes and seconds you have been recording. When the DVR's memory is full, it will
stop recording. When you unkey and the message is played back, you will hear yourself count
as long as the DVR was able to record before it ran out of memory (this could take a long time
if the memory is not almost full - if it takes too long, the max record length timer could stop it
before the memory is full).
Recording DVR Tracks:
Before recording a track, you should make sure it is empty. If a track has already been
recorded, you will not be able to record it again until you erase it. All tracks are empty when
the DVR is powered up. To record a track using COR to start and stop the recording, you
should enter the record command followed the track number, "171 TTT" (where TTT is the
track number), then unkey (to tell the controller to execute that command and get ready to
record). Then key up and start speaking your message. When you are finished, simply unkey.
The DVR will automatically delete a fraction of a second of the beginning and end of your
message to get rid of any noise caused by keying or unkeying.
If you wish to record a track without using COR, such as from the reverse autopatch in
programming mode, you can use a DTMF digit to start and stop the recording. For example, to
record track 0, you could enter "Command 171 000 D". As soon as you release the 'D', the
DVR will begin recording. When you are finished speaking your message, press any DTMF
digit to stop the recording. The DVR will automatically delete a fraction of a second at the end
of your message to make sure that the sound of the DTMF digit is completely erased. Note that
some phones (especially ones that can be used as speakerphones) mute about the first 1/2
second of each phrase you say; this makes recording nice DVR messages with them very
difficult.
After you have recorded the prompting tracks (described later), you can use a more friendly
