Scary conversation on 131.3 and 131.65

[Pharming]

Nebraska group...especially eastern Nebraska,

I was just listening today, 10/21 at approximately 1500 central time to a broken conversation from a pilot to ground. (These freqs are usually airline/corporate ops freqs) It started on 131.65 and he switched to 131.3. I had just walked into the house and heard it going on.

Does anyone have any recording of these?

The bits of the conversation were kind of freaking me out. A pilot was talking about a 3 year old with "the flu". He said he wouldn't be so concerned if it wasn't a 3 year old, he also said that he wasn't going to be vocal about this (even though he was on an open frequency) that the little boy had gotten extremely sick from the vaccine.

Maybe nothing...but was definitely something that sparked my attention with the whole H1N1 stuff. The rush to make the vaccine from 5 different companies and the fact that my child is just getting over a flu...6 days high fever, cough etc...

The aircraft was enroute...and pretty far away.

Did anyone by chance hear this? I know you can record with WIN500, but don't know how to yet.
I have a GRE PSR-500.

Don't know about the conversations but to help with recording with WIN500 click record in the monitor/control tab then obviously pick a place for the audio to go. Then you have to go to each object either select them all and click record box or do it individually WIN500 will then record the audio.

Does the audio come from just the speaker of the radio to the microphones picking it up on the computer? Or does it come from the radio through the USB cable? I know a weird question.

By the way...hope Sheriff Joe hangs in there. (personal opinion)

No you have to hook an audio cable from the scanner headphone out to the line in on the sound card for it to record audio. You also have to have the monitor/control running for it to record audio.

I think Joe will probably stick around for awhile.
