The RU8200 enables around 20 seconds of audio to be recorded to a chip within the RU8200 for
playbackat a later time. The chip maybe used to recorded over and over again overwriting the
previousrecordings. The recordingmayalso be playedback over and over, veryuseful if you
have grabbed an interesting recording! It is also possibleto set the RU8200 to continuously
record the last 20 seconds of activity ensuring that an interesting transmissionis never missed.
The RU8200 maybe 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 immediatelyif the squelch is alreadyopen. When recording has started, manual
operation of the front panel squelchcontrol is disabled. The RU8200 is best suited to use in
VFO mode.
SCAN / SEARCH mode: The RU8200 will start recordingwhen the squelch opens but
recordingwill stop immediatelyonce the squelch closes and the receivercontinues scanning or
searching. As the recording has been deactivated when the receivermoves to new channels,
accidental overwriting of the recording is prevented. If however you want to record everyactive
channel that the receiversfinds, select CONTINUOUS from the record menu. In
CONTINUOUS mode, when the receiverstops on a busychannel, the recording will start
automatically, however when the receivermoves to another channel (automaticallyduring scan
& search), the previous recording will be stopped and a new session started - speedymanual
intervention is required.
