ICR20 - Retrieving Recordings from the Radio

[CYUL]

Can some one enlighten me as to how to remove the recording from the radio via USB to my PC? When I use the ICOM software all I can do it see the tracks but cannot seem to do much more than that.

Thanks

Disregard, got it working., looks like the problem was with the cable, replaced it now able to save the icw files locally.

As per God and the folks at ICOM; .icw files are the files created by the R20's audio capture function and stored in the radios memory. You can then download them from the radio and convert to .wav for listening or listen directly off the unit itself.

God works at ICOM? guess that makes it heavenly! j/k
I still cant see why they dont use mp3 or wav right out the radio.

It's probably easier to write as a proprietary format with minimal processing and do conversion outside of the radio.
