Hi All,

I am a fairly new user to the SDS200E and have a question. Around 5PM I turned on Recording and left it sitting on a channel to try and catch some comms and came back a few hours later to 25 recordings which is excellent but is there a way for me to see what time that recording took place?

Cheers.

EDIT: Just found another thread with the same question here which answered my question: SDS100: - Delete recordings / Date & Time stamps

If the 200E creates the same type of files as the 100/200 non-E models (as well as the x36HP and HomePatrol models), there are many easy ways of doing this. Each file audio file is the date and time stamp of when the recording was created. Additionally, the audio file itself contains typical meta tags that contain all of the data inside each recorded file. If all you're interested in is the "when", you can hook up to the scanner in mass storage mode, navigate to the audio/user_rec directory and look at each file in the recorded sub-directories. You can make things much easier by copying the sub-directories in the scanner's audio/user_rec directory to your computer, then ingesting them into many of the audio player applications. There's Universal Scanner Audio Player, created and distributed right here on RR; Universal Scanner Audio Player. Or, you can use another media player app like MediaMonkey for example.

Hi, I was hoping there was a way to display this whenever I am playing back my recordings on the SDS200 itself without the need to connect to a computer.

I downloaded Universal Scanner Audio Player and it works well so that will do the job. Thanks.

There's a clock and date on the display but it always show the current time. When replaying recorded files it should show the time from the recording. It's plenty of space left in the header of each recorded file to make that happen. Whistler scanners show the date and time of the recording while playing it back, so it might be a patent issue that Uniden do not want to get involved in and pay for a license. There are several strange and odd functions in scanners that have been created just to avoid patent problems.
