After starting the
program, all available soundcards will be listed here. A soundcard needs to be
selected and confirmed with OK. The sample rate can be set within a wide range.
The recording channel is preset to 0 (left channel = mono).
Here,
you can enter a path for saving the sound files, or you can select a path
by clicking on Path. Two different folder are available for this
purpose: "
\RC_1 (RC_2, .. RC_9)" and "
\W"
Also, you can select the language here.
Radio
network no. 1
9, radio network name, COM port for tx keying (pin 4 =
DTS; pin 7 = RTS) and squelch (pins 1, 6, 8 and 9).
Enter the minimum and maximum recording times here. In the example, only
recordings with a duration of more than 10 s are saved. Longer
conversations are divided into chunks: Every 180 s, a sound file is
saved and a new recording starts automatically. There will be a short gap
between the two files.
Recording
stops after a period of silence longer than the value entered here (in this
example: 8 s). Recording starts as soon as the input threshold is exceeded
for more than the number of milliseconds entered in the second field (here: 10 ms).
Sound
files in folder
\W older than three days are deleted each time the
program is started and additionally each day at 00:00:30am. The playback
level is determined by the volume level. The maximum volume depends on the
computer's volume setting.
In this example, the sound card input will be sampled every 1 ms.
Values between 10 and 30 ms are recommended so as not to affect
overall system performance. In contrast to Windows 7, sample intervals of
up to 1 ms are no problem on Windows XP systems. Try different
settings to find a suitable value. The start threshold has to be chosen
carefully: When the value is too low, recording may be started by noisy
signals or repeater identification. A convenient level can be found by
setting the volume fader directly above the level indicator when the
repeater sends an identification signal.
The
record function starts automatically after starting the program. The main
window will not be minimized. The level meter works linearly.
Each sound file will be given a name consisting of the radio network no.,
year, month, day, hour and file extension. Example: 1_01-02-2012_23-52-09.wav.
The settings window (the window displayed right now) will be shown
after starting the program. Sending via COM is deactivated.
After
starting playback of a sound file, all subsequent sound files will be
played as well- Checking the field "program start" will start
the program automatically after starting Windows. Checking "Auto TX
after" will repeat the selected sound file after pausing for the
number of seconds entered in the field.Remark: Changes will be applied only after clicking on
