| Wondering if there are any cheap basic scanners out there that can scan and record audio to an SD card. I saw the whistlers can but I dont need the digital capability (or price). |

Loop Recorder is PC software ( http://www.looprecorder.de ) It is $29.95 to register the standard version. The $250 pro version has auto-archiving built in (as well as other features like auto-vox), but a VBS script (sample available on-line) can make the standard version accomplish the same thing via a repeated launch of an instance with a set recording span followed by close + autosave. This lets you have it produce uniquely named files of a specified duration for as long as the script is running.
It can also be set to record from internet based audio sources (pretty much recording what ever you can send to PC speakers). I run an open ended instance of the standard version while operating, it uses the TS-590S usb audio as input & provides a constant 30 minute loop I can review as wanted (via the internal editor) without interfering with the recording process.

Nick that is something worth looking into.
For those that suggested an SDR I too think they are great but this is for fairly close by systems that overload the front ends of an RTL. I use the freq scanner and recorder on SDR# with great success but I won't be able to monitor or set this system up. The guy who is asking is a more set it and forget it type. |

ETA: Didn't see that it was for someone else. What kind of system is it? |
