I presume you've looked at SpectraVue, that comes with the RFSpace
radios, Les? That can give you five (not necessarily) top of the
hour recordings of a minute long, up to much longer, in one minute
increments. That's a start, for figuring out what you're going to
do with all that data. Or, you could just record continuously all
night, specify short file sizes, and play back only the files that
are of interest, as they are all time-stamped.
SpectraVue is quite bullet-proof, simple, but for me, a nice piece of
software. The more elegant / complex SDR-Console program will play
files recorded by SpectraVue, but it's always under development it
seems, so I don't know what its own recording and playback
capabilities are at present.
best wishes,
Nick

I'm returning to medium wave, broadcast band DXing after being out
of the game for an extended time. Though I've owned the SDR-IQ for
many years, I've never seriously used it for DXing the AM band.
I'd like to record Top of the Hour (TOH) periods when stations are
required to identify for each hour of the day, starting at just
before local sunset, and continuing all night. Then review these
recordings the next day. I'd like to limit the amount of time
recorded to approximately 3 minutes per hour, using the full
bandwidth of the receiver. That would give me 19 "channels" of
information to review each hour. That's still a lot of audio to wade
through, but I think it's manageable.
I can't be the only guy doing this, so I wonder if someone could
recommend the best software for this application? I'd love to do
everything in one piece of software, but can run multiple pieces of
software if needed.
I hope other DX'ers will take the time to share their
recommendations. Also interested in hearing how other SDR users
handle the logistics of managing the data, and making time to review it.
Thanks in advance!
