[MilCom] Scanners with recorders

[jeffv]

Check your scanner(s) to see if any have LINE OUT on them. It *might* be 
a phono plug. Here's a diagram. You can think of it as exactly what you 
have now, with an additional cord to plug the scanner to the computer.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx          x
    x     phono or headphone cord         xxxxxxxxxxxx
    x                                      computer/sound card line in
xxxx
scanner

You can run the software the previous poster mentioned. It's 
voice-triggered, so you only get recordings when there's sound from the 
scanner.


This can all be done automatically with scanner control software. The 
right software will tell you your hits and optionally record them. You 
just need a serial cord for each scanner.


Happy Holidays.
