MESSAGE RECORDING
Although the Page/Tone Alert combination is useful to
keep track of who called you and when, a better idea is
to make an audio recording of a caller’s message to you.
The Message Record feature serves as a digital
answering machine for your on-air activity in the same
way tape recorders are commonly used to handle
telephone messages.
ACTIVATING THE RECORD FUNCTION
Recording is started by switching ON CTCSS, DTSS,
Page, or Tone Alert. When any of these functions are
ON, the transceiver starts recording automatically when
the squelch opens.
SELECTING THE RECORDING TIME
Additional flexibility has been provided by allowing you to
taylor the total record time for your messages to match
your requirements. You also have limited control over
the quantity of messages that can be recorded.

Menu B, recording stops when the maximum time is reached,
then the transceiver is on standby to record the next message
when the squelch opens again.
