APX APX8000XE Recent Calls

[daine1619]

I have my APX8000XE programed to receive recent calls.

Recent Calls is in my Menu Items
Record Playback Audio Buffer Size (Sec) is set to 60

I am able to open the "Recent Calls" menu in the radio and open the "Recent Convs" folder but when I attempt to play a conversation the radio will not play the conversation. It will give me the low beep when I press the Play button. I have attempted to save a conversation but the same low beep is emitted.

The channel is an Conventional Analog channel.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i believe the "recent Convs" is for TMS messages and not the saved recorded calls.

RCNT has nothing to do with TMS, It is indeed for captured audio. Did you enable record under radio wide>features>record audio? You can set the time all day long but it won't record anything until you select either RX audio or TX+RX audio

I believe those settings are only for mobiles so you can record off the accessory connector. For portables all you should need is the RCNT menu item or button and set the "Record Playback Audio Buffer" to anything other than "Disabled".

Maybe try adding the CLCK menu item so you can set the time correctly for playback? You should not need the "Log Dispatch Calls Enable" box to be enabled to record recent audio. Try setting the Buffer Size to something like 15 or 30 seconds also. I know older revision/lower tier APX models were/are only capable of 30 seconds of recording due to memory size.

I set the clock to the accurate time and date and I reduced the buffer size from 60 to 15. I also tried "Log Dispatch Calls Enabled" checked and un-checked. Still wont play back any audio.

It still logs every transmission but will not play back any audio when I select the Play button.

Would it be correct to assume that for an APX 7500, firmware R10.00.00 is way too old for this to work?

I'm working on an APX 7500 with an O5 control head and the only option I get when I tap RCNT is >EMER. I'm guessing I need to upgrade the firmware.

I believe you need 15 for it to work.

I just tried this RCNT feature, unfortunately, I also have the same problem, I can see the logged calls, but when I press "play" nothing happens. Did you find a solution to your issue @DiGiTaLD ?

Yes, I had to upgrade the firmware. Works great now.
