RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
Recording and Playback
Your scanner features a powerful audio recording
system that captures transmissions that occur on
selected Objects to the MicroSD card using the high
quality, industry standard .AU audio file format.
For example, a 2GB MicroSD 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
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.
