MESSAGE PLAYBACK

You can play back the message in channel 1, 2, or 3 to check or to send. It is also possible to make a longer message by consecutively playing back the messages of more than one channel, linking them together.

You can even repeatedly send a longer, linked message by using the Repeat function. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 31 and select ÒonÓ (default is OFF). Then, select the repeat interval time in Menu No. 32 (default is 10 seconds).

Note:

◆Pressing [ ] (POWER) cancels playback in progress.

◆The settings in Menu Nos. 31 and 32 are shared with CW Message Playback described in “CW MESSAGE MEMORY” {page 40}.

■Changing Inter-message Interval Time

For repetitive message playback, you can change the interval between each series of messages. Use Menu No. 32, and select the time in the range of 0 to 60 seconds.

■Changing Message Playback Volume

Turning the AF control does not change the volume for the message playback. To change the message playback volume , access Menu No. 14 to select the playback volume level from Ò1Ó to Ò9Ó or ÒoFFÓ.

CONSTANT RECORDING

By utilizing the digital recording capability of the VGS-1, you can configure the VGS-1 to store the last 30-second of the incoming reception signal to the VGS-1. It is similar to a flight recorder that is used in an aircraft. You can play back the last 30 seconds of the reception signal to confirm what has been heard.

To activate the Constant Recording function, access Menu No. 30 and select ÒonÓ. ÒÓ appears and the the transceiver starts recording the signal in background. When you press [CH3/ 3/ REC] (1 s), the VGS-1 stores a maximum of last 30-second of the reception audio signal to the flash memory. While writing the audio signal data to flash memory, ÒFLASH WRÓ appears for a while. To playback the stored reception signal, press [CH3/ 3/ REC].

To play back the stored reception sound, press [CH3/ 3/ REC]. To quit, press [MTR/ CLR].

Note:

◆While the Menu No. 30 is ON, you cannot use the Channel 3 (CH3) message memory to record and playback your voice message. However, the message in CH3 is not erased. When the Constant Recording function is turned OFF (Menu No.30 is OFF), you can playback the message on Channel 3 (CH3).

◆While the “” icon disappears, such as the VGS-1 is playing back a message or the Voice Guide function is working, the Constant Recording function temporarily pauses.

◆When you record a new message to the VGS-1, 30-second Constant Recording buffer is cleared.

◆You cannot transmit a stored audio signal that is recorded with the Constant Recording function.
