The DVR1 Digital Voice Recorder
What the DVR1 is:
The DVR1 is an optional device that allows you to record sounds, store them in memory and
play them at any time. It can be used to personalize your controller by recording any message
or sounds that you want and playing them back for ID messages or in place of most other
synthesized voice messages. Some of these messages are played in response to commands that
you or the users enter; others are played at certain times, such as for an ID. Both types of
messages will be described below.
DVR Tracks:
All DVR recordings are stored in numbered "tracks." Certain tracks have special purposes and
are played automatically at certain times. Others are available for you to use in any way you
wish. The length of each track is limited only by available memory. Each track uses only as
much storage space as is actually needed.
The first 250 tracks (numbered 000..249) have no predetermined use - you may use them for ID
messages, command responses (by calling Command 173 from a macro), or anything else you
can think of. Tracks 250..260 or so are used for prompting. They are discussed further in the
section below titled "Recording the Prompting Tracks". The remaining tracks are not directly
accessible by number. They are used to support the mailbox features and are automatically
accessed by the mailbox commands.
Public Mailboxes:
The DVR uses special internal tracks to provide two types of mailboxes: public and private.
Both types allow you to leave messages for other repeater users. You can leave a message in a
public mailbox by simply entering the "Leave Public Mail" command (after setting up the
prompting tracks as described below). The DVR will then ask you who the mail is for. You
key up and say their name or call sign. The DVR will then ask you to record your message.
When you are through, it will tell you that your message has been stored. You can check if
there is mail for you by simply entering the "Check Public Mail" command. It will list the
names or call signs of the people that there is mail for, or will tell you that there is no mail. If
there is mail for you, you can listen to your message by entering the "Retrieve Public Mail"
command. Up to nine public mailboxes can be in use at a time.
Private Mailboxes:
Private mailboxes allow you to leave voice mail in someone's private mailbox. To do this you
have to know the number of their mailbox. There are 500 private mailboxes, so everyone in
your club can have their own. Each private mailbox can hold up to five messages at a time.
You can retrieve or delete the mail in your own mailbox without affecting anyone else's
mailbox.
