I know this may sound crazy, but I decided to try to splice files
together assuming they have the same center frequency and the same
bandwidth. I recorded several files that met the above criteria and
spliced them with GoldWave, and it worked fine, with just a couple of
hitches. I wanted to do this because I these files were "next" to each
other in time. I had a problem with Spectravue cutting off in the middle
of recording (that is another issue), and I had to restart them. As long
as the restart interval is not too much, it doesn't really matter
significantly.
Anyway, the audio of the original recordings were still intact on the
spliced file. You can still scan through the file as normal. However,
the spliced file lost some of "Aux information" like the center
frequency and the original time stamp. Also, I don't know why but the
spliced file was a little bit wider than the original recordings
(originals - 150 kHz and spliced - 158.727 kHz.) For the center
frequency, if you enter the correct center frequency when you load the
spliced file and it works just fine. I don't know how to fix the time
stamp, so you have to live with the new one.
So, if you ever have a reason to splice files together, it is possible.
Now back to DXing.
