18-6 RU8200 optional record & playback slot card
The RU8200 enables around 20 seconds of audio to be recorded to a chip within the RU8200 for
playback at a later time. The chip may be used to recorded over and over again overwriting the
previous recordings. The recording may also be played back over and over, very useful if you
have grabbed an interesting recording! It is also possible to set the RU8200 to continuously
record the last 20 seconds of activity ensuring that an interesting transmission is never missed.
The RU8200 may be used in VFO, scan, search but note the following:
VFO mode:
The RU8200 operates as laid out here, recording starts when the squelch opens or
records immediately if the squelch is already open. When recording has started, manual
operation of the front panel squelch control is disabled. The RU8200 is best suited to use in
VFO mode.
SCAN / SEARCH mode:
The RU8200 will start recording when the squelch opens but
recording will stop immediately once the squelch closes and the receiver continues scanning or
searching. As the recording has been deactivated when the receiver moves to new channels,
accidental overwriting of the recording is prevented. If however you want to record every active
channel that the receivers finds, select CONTINUOUS from the record menu. In
CONTINUOUS mode, when the receiver stops on a busy channel, the recording will start
automatically, however when the receiver moves to another channel (automatically during scan
& search), the previous recording will be stopped and a new session started - speedy manual
intervention is required.
