Re: [Elecraft] Recording CQ WW CW and SSB

I use a Zoom H2 stereo recorder which has a line input you can connect 
direct to the K3 line out. You can set the recording format to something 
economical like .mp3 at 48kbps - don't need hifi. It connects to a 
computer with USB. They're used for live music so good quality (AFAICT).


I don't envy the people that have to listen to it all though!

Re: [Elecraft] Recording CQ WW CW and SSB

2015-10-20 Thread Al Gulseth
Does the 7851 come pre-installed as a mobile rig in a car for that price? I'd 
think you could close to buy a nice Elecraft rig, a recording device (if 
needed) for contests, AND a decent used car for that money. That is, unless 
you want to pretend that you're a commercial airline pilot with all those 
buttons and knobs. For me, by the time I got everything adjusted the way I 
wanted on that rig, the station I was trying to work would be long gone. TNX 
to Elecraft for sticking with clean and simple (by comparison with the 7851 
et al) easy to use front panel layouts

Re: [Elecraft] Recording CQ WW CW and SSB

2015-10-20 Thread K5WA
Doug,
 
I have a pair of K3 rigs and just pull a parallel stereo (Y connector) feed
from my SO2R box headphone output and put it in the LINE IN jack of my
computer's sound card.  Works great with Audacity and a low fidelity
selection speed running on my contesting logging computer.  An entire 48
hour contest is about 150MB if you have the fidelity set low enough.  If you
have a single rig, the same idea would apply to the headphone jack.
 
Good luck,
Bob K5WA

Re: [Elecraft] Recording CQ WW CW and SSB

2015-10-20 Thread CUTTER DAVID
A modestly priced stereo voice recorder that I use for other things (Olympus
WS-812) could easily do a 48 hour contest.  Held in a wooden jig with an ear bud
adjacent each mic it will do a good job.  The thing it lacks is a quick way to
search.  Over 48 hours there would be some timing error in playback mode, but I
suppose some sub-audible codes could be imposed onto the recording from an
independent clock timer if this were crucial. 

Incidentally, I've often thought this would be useful for training purposes.

I believe it was within the last year:

"*C. Audio Recordings:* Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing for a 
top three finish at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA levels, must record 
the transmitted and received audio as heard by the operator for the duration of 
the contest operation. The recording must be in a common format (e.g., mp3) and 
should include the audio to each ear as a separate channel. The recording may be 
requested by the Committee within 90 days after the log deadline to help 
adjudicate the log. The recording files must be provided by the entrant within 5 
days of the request. If no recording is made available, the Committee may 
reclassify or disqualify the entry."

Connections for recording from a K-line radio would be easy enough. Tap off

other device capable of recording audio for the duration of the contest.

Don't they use software to compare logs against each other for cheating?
