REC continues the first season on the Record-A-Call. An "Instant Input" line was added so callers can leave comments without having to listening to the entire recording. After 49 episodes, REC closes out the first season and retires the Record-A-Call. A new two line answering device built by Jim Clothesline was installed. A third "auxilliary" line was added. The first program to air on the new output equipment was the 3rd Annual ARTE Awards. In the evening before the premiere of the ARTE Awards, REC ran it's first live "broadcast" where the studio board was connected to the output devices and callers listened in anticipation of the ARTE presentation. The answering device could be very easily converted into a two line conference. At times, we would switch the system into conference mode. REC resumes recordings with Tape #50, the Cinco De Mayo Special featuring Nino Telephun. In 1985, REC also experimented with ))STEREO PHONE(( where we recorded the output tape in stereo and then played the left channel into one phone line and right channel in the other. Callers with two phone lines and two phones can call and put one phone in each ear for an audio experience.
