Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] OT: suggestions on recording devices

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why would you want to do anything other than use software for recording ? Until my 2 boatanchors stopped working properly due to capacitor aging issues I was recording directly from them using software. 

You simply need to add an impedance transformer ( not unlike what used to mount on the built-in speakers of tube type table radios ) and put the low side toward the radio and the high side to the PC sound card.

The best software I've used it Total Recorder which is very reasonably available at www.highcriteria.com.

If you want something really simply to test the concept with, email me offlist and I'll send you a simply piece of recording software.

Some of you know that I use old boat anchors to DX, the newest radio I use is probably an R-390A from 1960 so my question is: does anyone have any ideas of what I could use for a recorder, something which would interface with a computer so I could post them online or at least share them online with other people? About all these radios have for audio output is speaker and head phones out.
