The easiest and most reliable way that I have found is to run a cable from the headphone jack on the scanner to the "line-in" on your computer then use software to record the traffic. I used to have a program that recorded only when there was traffic so I could listen to alot of traffic in a short amount of time.

I'll try and find it and post it here for you. Its free, I think its called scanner recorder or something like that. Its a great program. I heard an entire OWI arrest in 10 minutes that took nearly 1.5 hours in real time...lol

I found the software here: http://www.davee.com/scanrec/

Unfortunately, like all GRE made radios, the 2055 cannot scan, log and record - it's just not possible due to the fact that it's not in the firmware. However, just sitting on a single channel and recording is certainly possible, and the Wiki once again comes to the rescue...

Many folks like the free Scanner Recorder, but there are other packages, too

I use an Olympus digital recorder. See Here: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1178

Then I can upload the files to my PC. Nice portable for on the go. Does voice activation if needed.
