  • Patent number: 4499567
    Abstract: A message recording controller for use with a radio frequency actuated paging subscriber system of the type wherein a plurality of portable pagers are each operative to receive a voice message on a time shared based with the other portable pagers. After transmission of an alert or beeper tone to actuate a specific portable pager, a message is transmitted. The message recording control system of the present invention includes first and second timers which have different timing intervals. The system operates a tape recorder which is turned off and on by the second timer. The alert tone causes the system to trigger both of the timers on at the same time thus permitting the transmitted message to be recorded on the tape recorder. The second timer, which has a time interval corresponding to the maximum allowed time for transmission of messages, times out and shuts off the tape recorder at the end of its timing interval.
