I just got a Minitor V and I am trying to get the SV working. Right now, it is recording one call as two separate calls. When dispatched our dispatcher sends the tones, dispatches, retones, then redispatches. But each tone set is being recorded as a separate call. Is there a way to make it so it will just keep recording through the second set of tones instead of creating a new call?
Right now I have SV set to dynamic with revert n and n=10. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Minitor V SV question
That is not the ideal method for dispatching a call.
A better way would be to do the tones and announcement just once finish the paging process, then completely repeat that sequence a few seconds later. This way it allows the carrier to drop and gives a slightly better chance for the second call to go through if RF signal was bad for some reason. If your telephone dispatching it will likely go through on a different set of phone lines for most of its journey. If the first page was on a noisy or on a completely bad line it gives a second chance. Lastly if the operator makes an error he has a lower chance of making it a second time if he has to start the entire process again.
Its better to do everything twice then just part of it twice.

Re: Minitor V SV question
It doesn't really matter what the "ideal" way to dispatch is, that's not going to answer the OP's question or change the way his dispatch center operates.
The answer to the question is, no, there's no way to prevent the pager from recording them as separate "calls". The pager isn't smart, it doesn't know the difference between the same call toned out twice in a row, or a "realert" tone out for the same call a few minutes later, or if they are two separate calls/locations entirely that just happened to be dispatched 2 seconds apart. All it knows is that the proper tones to alert the pager were received, so it starts recording the audio. As jmr stated, whenever the pager alerts, the recording starts anew.
