I should also add that my computer's clock was about 9 minutes 30 second behind the official time, so all the time stamps must be advanced by approx 10 minutes to be correct. That may be true of the times shown on your web site, but the times included in my transcription are offsets into the audio files that have little correlation with time of day, as the receiver's squelch eliminated all the dead air time. How have you configured your receiver to record these files? I might like to do something similar. It is not difficult to set this up if you have a linux system. It is an ordinary scanner, and the audio is fed into the soundcard and captured using the 'sox' software. Sox has switches for selecting the input threshold (squech) and to do various processing to create virtually any output format you like. If you are interested I can send you the script file (really trivial - it is only one line long). My setup is primarily limited by the fact that the antenna barely clears the top of my roof but I still get pretty decent reception out to 30 miles or so. |

There are also several free or very cheap Windows apps that do the same thing. For years, I recorded scanner audio of the local PD / FD. |

The software resides on my server, so uploading is not an issue for me. If you doing it on windows, it may need extra setup. I will write up something about the setup and post it to my website in the next few days. |

In my case, I create the mp3 files directly in the public_html directory on the server, so there is no ftp or scripting involved. Linux makes this all very easy. I don't know how one would do this on Windows. |

Can you schedule tasks on Windows like crontab, and set priorities with nice? May be it is possible, but my linux machine runs unattended for years without any trouble. My windows machine needs to be rebooted every few days because it gets slower and slower the longer it stays on, and something always crashes requiring a reboot. |
