Advanced Features

OPTIONAL DVS-2 DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER

rGet your microphone ready, and then press the [MEMO] button (the yellow “REC” LED will blink).

rNow press the numbered key for the segment (or segment pair) to record (only [1] or [2] for the 8- second mode), and start talking (do not press the PTT switch unless you want to transmit at the same time you are recording).

The “REC” LED will stop blinking and stay on for the recording period (4 or 8 seconds), and then turn off. Also, the red LED above the numbered key you pressed will come on (if this segment was previously empty) and stay on, indicating this segment is now stor- ing data.

To stop recording at any point before the selected segment’s time limit is up, simply press STOP.

This is the preferred method, since it eliminates any “dead time” remaining from your last-recorded word and end of the time segment (which would keep your transmitter unnecessarily keyed for a short period). In any case, your message can not exceed the 4- or 8- second limit.

Don’t worry if you didn’t have enough time to finish your phrase, you can repeat the above steps to re- record the same message - the previous message will be overwritten (note that there is no “rewind” step re- quired).

MESSAGE TRANSMISSION

(“ON THE AIR•EPLAYBACK)

After recording a memory segment, you can play it back over the air by pressing the appropriate numbered button. The green “PLAY” and red “TX” LEDs will both light for a maximum of either four or eight seconds, according to the setting of the MESSAGE MODE switch.

Note! Normally, pressing a numbered message key on the DVS-2activates the MARK-VFT-1000MPtransmitter and sends the recorded message. If you would like to disable PTT control from the DVS-2, re- call menu selection 4-7and change the setting to “OFF.” Now, transmission is only possible using the micro- phone PTT or MOX switches.

MESSAGE MONITOR

(PLAYBACK WITHOUT TRANSMITTING)

You can check the contents of a memory segment or pair without playing it back over the air, just by press- ing [MONI] followed by the appropriate numbered key.

The green “REC” LED blinks until you press the numbered key, and then stays on during the playback period. We recommend always using this to check the results immediately after making a recording and be- fore playing it back over the air. If you have recorded several 4-second segments that you intend to com- bine during playback, move the MESSAGE MODE switch to the [2 x 8 SEC] position to hear how the seg- ments sound when played back together. Note from the table on the preceding page that, in the 8-second mode, the [1] button plays back segments 1 and 2, while the [2] button plays back segments 3 and 4.

Receiver Recording with the

MARK-V FT-1000MP

As the DVS-2uses only one receiver audio chan- nel of the MARK-VFT-1000MP, you can play back recordings without missing real-time action by pressing [AuB] to set the two VFOs to the same frequency.

With stereo headphones, this allows you to con- tinually monitor signals on the sub VFO audio chan- nel while playing back recording on the main chan- nel.

Selecting Receiver Audio

As mentioned earlier, the DVS-2can record audio from either the Main or Sub receiver. To choose the desired receiver, recall memory selection 4-6and pick either MAIN VFO or SUB VFO as the default receiver.
