Operation
Message Monitor
(Playback Without Transmitting)
You can check the contents of a memory seg-
ment or pair without playing it back over the air,
just by pressing
MONl
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 al-
ways using this to check the results immediately
after making a recording and before playing it
back over the air. If you have recorded several
4-second segments that you intend to combine
during playback, rnove the
MESSAGE MODE
switch to the 2
x 8 SEC
position to hear how the
segments sound when played back together.
Note from the table on the preceding page that, in
the 8-second mode, the
1
button plays back seg-
ments 1 and 2, while the 2 button plays back
segments 3 and 4.
Message Transmission
("On The Air" Playback)
After recording a memory segment, you can
play it back over the air by pressing the appropri-
ate numbered button. The green
P L N
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.
Receiver Recording with the FT-IOOOMP
As the DVS-2 uses only one receiver audio
channel of the
FT-1 OOOMP,
you can play back
recordings without missing real-time action by
pressing
1 - 1
to set the two VFOs to the same
With stereo headphones, this allows you to
continually monitor signals on the sub VFO
audio channel while playing back recording on
the main channel.
Note! Normally, pressing a numbered message
key on the DVS-2 activates the FT-1 000MP trans-
mitter and sends the recorded message. If you
would like to disable PTT control from the DVS-2,
recall menu selection 4-7 and change the setting
to OFF. Now, transmission is only possible using
the microphone PTT or
MOX
switches.
Since you will probably want to take advantage
of combining messages for playback, you may
want to take a few minutes to plan out your seg-
ment recording strategy. Consider the following
example:
Example Using the 4 segment-by-4-second
mode, if you stored the segments like this:
Segment I : CQ Contest CQ Contest
CQ Contest from [your call].
Segment 2: [your callsign]
Segment 3: QSL, you're 5-9, 200 (contest #)
Segment 4: QRZ contest from
..
[your call].
In the contest, you would then,
O Switch to the 2-segment-by-8-second mode to
combine the segment pairs,
O Press button
1
to send segments 1 & 2 ("CQ
Contest CQ Contest CQ Contest from [your
callsign]") until you got a response,
CZ1 Send the other station's callsign,
13 Press button
2 ,
to send segments 3 & 4 ("QSL,
your 5-9, 200
...
QRZ Contest from [your call-
sign]").
Notice in this example, you can operate the
entire contest while only having to send the other
station's callsign by voice
-
all repetitive informa-
tion is handled by the DVS-2 (of course, in con-
tests where you need to include a QSQ count, you
would want to arrange the segments a little differ-
ently, perhaps using the 4-by-4-second mode for
transmissions).
Selecting Receiver Audio
As mentioned earlier, the BVS-2 can record
audio from either the Main or Sub receiver. To
choose the desired receiver, recall memory
selection
4-6
and pick either MAIN VFO or
SUB VFO as the default receiver.
