Sound Recording

Further details of the requirements for sound recording are given in the SOUND

RECORDING section.

NOTE: This setup menu option is greyed out if you do not have a sound card and

suitable MCI driver installed on your system.

If you have a Windows

compatible sound card fitted, you can use the sound

recording facilities of AOR Searchlight. Many functions of the program let you record up to 60

seconds of audio and make automatic entries in a sound log. The maximum time limit has been

carefully chosen to prevent your hard disk being filled up quickly while allowing the most useful

parts of transmissions to be recorded.

You can open the following dialog using the Setup|Sound Recording menu

option or by clicking on the Sound... push button inside other selected dialogs:

To adjust the maximum recording time, use the scroll bar to obtain the required

period of time in the box on the right. Sound recording is not enabled until you have checked the

Enable Sound Recording check box.

Sound recording involves setting up your sound card’s sample rate and number of

bits per sample. The most efficient sample rate for communications quality audio from your radio

is 8 kHz (giving a 4 kHz bandwidth) with 8-bit resolution. This combination provides fairly low

quality reproduction compared with higher rates, but uses the least amount of disk space.
