    Record ratio

    1. Set the record ratio at 50.

    3. To reach the 50% record ratio, the system will not record the second call.
    4. With the record ratio at 50%, the system does not record the third call and the record ratio drops below 50%.
    5. With the record ratio below 50%, the system records the fourth call to achieve the 50% ratio again.
