Hello,
I updated my #760 yesterday to V1.88. Update worked vy well so far.
Regarding VOX I not yet found a setup which worked so well as with

configured independently for FP and RP. With V1.78 I had

Are there any news on the progress/release date on the DVR ?

If you're using Writelog, in the Call entry space simply type the exact
