Recording consent by jurisdiction
One-party consent
Arkansas is a one-party consent jurisdiction: a participant in the conversation may record it without telling the others.
Statute: Ark. Code Ann. § 5-60-120

Federal law permits recording with one party's consent unless the recording is made to commit a crime or tort. Federal law is the FLOOR; a state may and many do require more. Where an interstate call touches two states with different rules, the safe assumption is the stricter one. See 18 U.S.C. § 2511(2)(d).
