I have a SoundBlaster and have successfully used CVB (Contest Voice Blaster)
with all versions of TRLog since 5.2x including last weekend's NAQP Phone with
TRLog version 5.75.
For phone contests, the CVB TSR intercepts the function key keystrokes before
TR can see them and plays the associated *.voc file.
In a two mode contest, whenever I switch to CW I have to "unfreeze" the
function keys by popping up the CVB control panel (the default hot key for the
control panel is SHIFT-F10), and type "D" to disable CVB.
Whenever I switch to Phone, I have to pop up the CVB control panel again and
type "E" to reenable the CVB function.
I have asked LTA, and this what the author of CVB intended.
The DVP is a different type of voice keyer board, originally made to work with
CT and now supported also by TR; the CVB TSR only works with the Creative Labs
SoundBlaster board, and so will work with either CT, TR, NA or whatever.
It would be nice if the CVB TSR could be somehow controlled by the same method
as the DVP, and automatically switch in and out under the control of CT or TR,
but I have a complete voice keyer for less than $100 so I haven't done my usual
pushy guy shtick and asked the authors to work it out.
Besides, I'm much more interested in the result of Tree's current project,
combining the MASTER.DTA, INITIAL.EXE, and NAME databases and freeing up a
bunch of memory in the bargain.
I hope this helps.
