INTRODUCTION Tactical Technologies Inc. Joey J1W (Model numbers CTR-751WT, CTR-752WT, CTR-753WT, CTR-754WT, CTR-754X2WT) is a 1 channel, VHF-FM synthesized voice transmitter combined with a state of the art solid-state digital recorder, specifically designed for law enforcement use. The concise product description of the J1W would be TRANSCORDER. The unit utilizes an external antenna for the transmitter and a single microphone for both the transmitter and recorder operations.
The transmitter operating frequencies can be programmed through HyperTerminal or may be programmed using any of TTI's Citation series receivers or the PTX-100 programming module. The recorder parameters are programmed through a PC running the supplied proprietary Joey software. This document explains how to operate the Joey1W, it’s accessories, and the associated Joey software suite.
1.1 Features Features of the Joey1W include; 1.
1.3 Using the J1W Transcorder The J1W is designed to be used, operationally in a stand alone configuration, or in conjunction with its USB cable and a personal computer for configuration, downloading and replay of stored audio, or connected to a personal computer, TTI Citation Receiver, or TTI PTX-100 for Transmitter Only Frequency Programming. Before using the J1R in an operational environment, it should first be run in PC Mode and the recorder configured using the accompanying Joey software.
Make sure that the connector makes contact head on with the J1W, ensuring no twist in the connection which may result in connector damage. Removal of cables also requires the connectors to come off without much twist, so that damage does not occur to the unit. When using the USB cable, the Joey1W’s recorder draws power directly from the computer through the cable. After you are finished configuring the Joey1W, disconnect the recorder from the USB cable.
Figure 2, J1W Connections A: External Microphone Connector B: Transmitter ON/OFF Switch C. Antenna Connector D: MASTER On/Off Switch E: 6 Pin connector for recorder programming, or external remote on/off switch. Antenna Connect the external antenna to the J1W by inserting the male end of the SMC type antenna connector on the device to the female connector end on the wire antenna.
Determine which of the two microphone configurations are best for your application: the long tethered remote microphone or the internal microphone. If you choose the internal microphone, you do not need to do anything. If you choose the external microphone, connect the external microphone by inserting the plug male end of the mini connector on the microphone cable into the female jack found on the J1W. Push the connectors firmly together. Twist the plug clockwise slightly to lock the connector in place.
Ensure that any material will not rub against the surface of the microphone. For maximum efficiency, the J1W antenna should be kept vertical whenever possible. Placing the antenna on a metal object may result in quite poor performance of the J1W’s transmitter. The antenna should not be wrapped around the J1W, nor should it be coiled or bunched in a ball. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Noteworthy Operational Considerations Before ANY use of the Joey1W: 1. 2. 3. 4. 1.6 Verify the TRANSMITTER is functioning correctly by checking its transmission with a good quality receiver programmed to the correct frequency. Verify the RECORDER portion by operating the J1W in PC Mode and making a test recording. ALWAYS use a fully charged battery at the start of any operation. PRACTICE with this piece of equipment prior to official use.
The Joey1W will yield the following recording times based on its recording profile, Quality Bits 11 kHz Mono 8 bit – LPCM 4 bit – ADPCM 8 bit – LPCM 4 bit – ADPCM 8 kHz Mono 64 MB 1.7 3.3 2.3 4.6 hrs hrs hrs hrs 128 MB 3.3 6.6 4.6 9.1 hrs hrs hrs hrs 256 MB 512 MB 6.6 hrs 13.2 hrs 9.1 hrs 18.2 hrs 13.2 26.4 18.2 36.4 hrs hrs hrs hrs Table 3, Recording Times The new 1024 MB J1W will double the times found in the chart for the 512 MB unit.

One of the most important variables, and one that the operator can actually control, is the placement of the receiver and the receiving antenna. A good rule to follow is the higher the antenna placement, the better chance you have of quality reception. This alone will increase your operating range. Just having the J1W in an ideal location is not enough.
