Recording Software There are a number of pieces of software that can be used to record signals emanating from the Line Out output of your radio. One of my favourites is Total Recorder. A very nice feature of this product is the ability to step through your recordings a few tenths to many seconds at a time making the search for that elusive ID relatively painless. It also has a great scheduler feature that allows unattended recording. It'll even shut down your PC when the recording job is complete. DXing while you sleep! At about $50 bucks, it's a great deal. Another piece of software that is worth a look is RecAll-PRO (about $30). I've tried the free demo version of this. It does not to appear to be as sophisticated as Total Recorder. However, it does appear capable of producing good recordings. Note that once I have a recording that I want to save - I have Total Recorder presently set up to capture audio data streams as .wav files - I convert it to .mp3 format in order to save disk space and to make for relatively easy web up/downloading. Any number of software products out there can perform the .wav to .mp3 conversion. The one I use is from American Shareware. On a different subject, those of you who are Morse Code challenged (like me) and who chase after non-directional beacons or who just like to eavesdrop on ham CW transmissions, check out CWGet                   ($35). This is a pretty nifty piece of software that decodes Morse Code.
