Recording and Playback
Your scanner features a powerful audio recording
system that captures transmissions that occur on
selected Objects to the Micro SD card using the high
quality, industry standard .AU audio file format.
For example, a 2GB Micro SD card with a very large
scanning configuration (e.g., 500 MB) still leaves room
for over 50 hours of recording time and thousands
of recorded transmissions! Here are just a few of the
things you can do with the audio recording system:
• Record all transmissions that occur on talkgroups or
channels that are of interest to you for later review.
• Perform attended or unattended searches for
new frequencies, automatically storing audio with
frequency information for all transmissions found
while searching.
• Record all transmissions that occur on ALL
talkgroups or channels, providing an instant recall
function to replay a prior transmission that was
missed or unintelligible.
Audio recording is not enabled by default. To enable
audio recording, make sure that the Enable Record
option in the Global Settings menu is checked, and
set the Record flag in any Objects that you wish to
record. You may wish to record audio for all of your
programmed Objects, which provides the ability to
instantly replay any transmission that the radio receives
in cases where the traffic may be difficult to copy.
When recording is enabled radio wide and for selected
Objects, you will see the icon flash in the display
when the audio recorder is actively recording audio
information.
When the Micro SD card is almost full, the F icon will
appear in the display to indicate that recording is
suspended. Delete or archive old audio files to make
room for new recordings. To playback recorded audio
files:
1. From the Main Menu, select Playback to enter the
Playback System.
2. The Playback System will place you at the last
audio file that was recorded by the radio.
Press the /II/SEL key to play the file, or use the
 and  keys to scroll to another file for playback.
