I really wish I had a ptr2. Ptp1 is great but ptr2 will suit me wel for other things. Ptp1 editing is far to limmited. And it doesn't have a diary notepad, and doesn't have the ability to repeat audio between bookmarks like ptr2 does.

Hello Jamie. Thanks for this suggestion. It works. My wife is very grateful, as on her current card she has around sixty titles, and each time she deletes one it puts her back to the beginning. We have tried your suggestion on both her PTR2 machines, and it works well. As I have said previously on this group, I personally prefer the PTP to the PTR2. Thanks again.

As Steve says, there is no title key on the PTR2. I still believe that there is no way to jump titles on the PTR2, but if there is a way, and anyone knows it, then please tell us, but make sure you are definitely talking about the PTR2.

Hello Steve. Please can you give me the key instructions for getting to a title by number. There is no Go To button on the PTR2, and I have tried all the things I can think of. Looking forward to hearing from you. PETER

We are talking here about the Plextalk PTR2. Does this still apply?

I am wondering if anyone knows a quick way to locate a title after you have deleted something from the flash card. If, for example, my wife has thirty titles on a card, and deletes one of them, it automatically puts her back to the beginning of the card, on the first title. The only way she can think of to get to the end of the titles quickly is to put a false title in and work back. So, if she wants to go to title twenty-seven, after just deleting something, she puts a false title in, then goes backwards from the end to twenty-seven. Does anyone know of any short cuts? PETER

Hi, I am new to this list and I am wondering if anyone can help me. My plextalk is now eighteen months old and it keeps saying to me when I switch it on that it needs servicing, is there a way to stop this message? David

Can I Restore a File?
by Hart Larry 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

O, boy, I was planning on deleting item 5, but instead I nuked item 1. I thought I had highlighted item 5 but then as I went in media management, it seemed to find its way back to the first item? As the woman inquired of whether I wanted to delete, I must have been confused among select-and-cancel? It nuked the wrong item, but since I mostly record Live News-Programming, I really would like it back. If you don't have something like a recycle bin, could I put the card in my Linux machine--and-run recovery software based on an ex2 or ex3 file system? Maybe 16months or so I have both a Plex-and-BPP, but as long as I just punch a record button, pause, and stop, I'm ok, but much of the navagation seems not at all intuitive! At times it reminds me of windows explorer, but worse. Next, I suppose there are no ways on the unit to re-arange titles, or really re-record a title? At times I am trying to switch over to recording on these units, but goophups like this are probably more errors than I've ever had on an open-reel machine in 43years. I think it would be more helpful to re-arange the prompting for deletions, so that maybe an involved title is mention nearer to the beginning, which would be lots easier to comprehend. Thanks so much in advance for any-and-all insites Hart
