Default GA cockpit and radio recorder

I have a couple of instrument students that are having
some trouble with the radio communicaitons during
their instrument training. It occurred to me that
recording ATC & their transmissions for post-flight
debriefing and review would be a value learning tool.

An easy way to do this is to plug a recorder into
an unsed headset jack. In my case, this would be one
of the back seat intercom jacks. Then operate the intercom
in the "ALL" mode so the passenger posistionshear all
radio and intercom traffic. A voice activated recorder
would be ideal, if it turns on fast enough to catch the first
word of each audio burst.

I'm thinking a 1/4" plug, cord with an attenuator /
impedance network and a connector to match to the
line in or mic input of a recorder is all that is needed.

Has anyone tried this? If so, how did it work out?

Comments?

Ronnie

Yeah, one or two resistors will do the impedance matching. Do it
yourself or buy it from http://www.aircraftpatchcord.com $25.

It works great and students love it. Radio Shack has an "Attenuating Dubbing
Cord" for $5 with the resistors build-in.. Cut it in half, solder 1/4" phone
plugs onto each half and you'll have two cords.

Since you already received some excellent suggestions, I wanted to point
out the perhaps lesser-known, free option: www.liveATC.net has a
seven-day (hopefully to be increased soon) archive of many ATC frequencies
on their site. Obviously the archives only contain the ATC frequencies
monitored, but new feeder sites are added all the time:

http://www.liveatc.net/archive.php

LiveATC's free archiving inspired me to become a volunteer feeder of my
home airport's ATC frequencies to their site. These days I download the
archive and listen to myself with the goal of constantly critiquing and
improving my communications.

Unfortunately, they only cover about the eastern 1/4th of the US. Yes, I
know, to most easterners, the world stops at the Ohio River...

LiveATC is totally dependent on volunteers to provide the feeds.

Using similar logic as yours above, I guess that people west of the Ohio
river just are not as chartable as those east of the river, no?

No, my comment was meant to be taken in the same humorous light as yours.
Was it not apparent?
