I also poised this question on the SDR-IQ Yahoo Group, and got an interesting response from Craig, N6IO. He recommended the use of HDSDR software. See his remarks from that list below. I have not personally tried HDSDR, but will download it and play around. I don't wish to record a lot during

If my understanding of SpectraVue is correct, the software would record TOH events throughout the entire 24 hour day period, resulting in a lot of daytime recordings that I don't want or need. I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution out there. Craig, N6IO on the SDR-IQ e-mail list

Les, Back when I used the SDR-IQ, I used a scripting program called AutoHotKey to automate TOH recordings. I wrote a description of the process in my blog back then: http://dx-nexus.blogspot.com/2007/07/scheduled-recordings-with-spectravue.html It works by doing the keypress that starts the

Thanks Chuck. I don't believe anyone was questioning whether the timed recordings existed in SpectraVue, hi. As you say, they have been for a long time, and have made my DXing life a lot easier. But repeat every xx minutes.only in Version 3.28, was beta until fairly recently. Got it.

Regarding HDSDR, I have a very nice, 14-page illustrated users manual for this software that was written by DXers David Aichelman and Chris Black, specifically for operation with Perseus. It's a really helpful document and includes tips for the timed scheduler within HDSDR, among other features.

On the basis of this morning's listening, the other side of the Pacific Ocean has sunk beneath the waves. Even carriers were few and far between. 1566 didn't deliver audio until after 1600UT, and that was a pop sounding ballad, so I'm not even sure it was HLAZ. best wishes, Nick

So far, fairly unastonishing on the west coast, Mark, though still better than for awhile. 1215 has a weak carrier at times, as do 855, 864, 909 and 1008. This around 0415UT, and pretty erratic. best wishes, Nick At 22:26 17-12-13, you wrote: British stations seem to be leading the pack

In tuning around tonight, even though KXOL is listed as silent, they still have left their carrier on. No IDs, so is that legal? I would not think so. Sounds like 1 KW. The carrier is there every night I go by 1660. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager
