(6) Rec. Lock ("L" or blank)
"L" is displayed here when the displayed Segmentation Code has been Locked
to prohibit recording (BOTH local and remote). The description of Play Lock
above describes how to select the Lock status. The record lock status can be
changed remotely.
Segmentation Code Selection Notes
While the DVS-1 is activated, the tuning knob selects from among the sixteen
possible Segmentation Codes. As indicated above, each Segmentation Code has its
own set of associated parameters, displayed when each Code is selected.
Segmentation Code 1 is a special-purpose segment which should be recorded with
your callsign. It is played back automatically in front of any of the other Codes
when the DVS-1 is called remotely, for station id.
Note that Segmentation Codes 0, 9 and A - F select the same memory segments as
Codes 1 - 8, merely with different partitioning. Therefore, if you record in Code 2,
for example, the recording will be played back in Codes 0, 2, 9, d and F, since all
of these access the same segment (2).
Recording
Most operators will probably want to partition the memory for two different
purposes: storing your own replies to incoming calls, and recording incoming
messages. You will have to determine how much of the memory to dedicate to each
purpose yourself, which will, in turn, determine which memory segments to use for
each purpose. However, regardless of that consideration, you should record your
callsign in Segment 1, since this will be played back automatically in front of other
DVS-1 responses to incoming calls.
Recording is turned on (and can be manually turned off) by the UP button on the
microphone. While recording, the S-meter indicates the relative recording time
elapsed: when the S-meter reaches full scale, the memory being recorded is full.
