I want to use VOX Recorder to save transmissions to my hard drive. I can't enable the program without entering the API key, System ID, etc. A friend of mine is already set up on Broadcastify, but the audio has a lot of dropouts. I'd like to save the transmissions on my drive if possible. Is there a workaround for the API key, etc.? From my searches, the author said it should work without it, but that's all I've seen.
VOX Recorder can't use without API

Not sure what searches you saw that said it could be used without the API, since VOX Recorder is an application specifically designed for the Broadcastify Calls platform. The recorded audio is sent to the Broadcastify Calls platform. The recordings are also saved to the hard drive if optioned.

ProScan Version 19.5 Just Released! This is another small release. I received many emails on these two items so want to get this out before I finish the next feature and finish the VOX Recorder program. Sorry, Bob, I hate to be "that guy" dredging up an old post, but I must've missed this from...
I haven't worked on VOX Recorder in years so I'm very rusty in that area. It's open source so I think anyone could look at it and see if it can be improved. I would but just don't have the time now.
Where it says "I think" it should? That's not to say it will definitely. I've tried it and have never been able to get it to work that way.Right here (post 7,604), from the author of the software.

If you read the next two posts below that, someone asked for that feature and @ProScan said he didn't have time to modify it at that time.
Thanks. I can't code, so I will download Proscan and have a look at it.
I'm catching the RF myself. A friend of mine is set up on Broadcastify, but his transmission have drop outs as if someone is fooling with the volume knob. He says priority is turned off, so I need a more reliable source. We sometimes use the recordings at the station for after action reviews.
Proscan is working for me, so I guess I will end up using it. It also lets me use a wider range of my old scanners. Right now it's hooked up to a 780XLT, but it has too much squelch tail for my liking on one frequency that uses a tone (69.3) that it doesn't feature. I'll probably swap it out to my 996T and I may end up poking around to see if I can mod the 780XLT to get rid of some of the tail. I've not gotten around to trying it because I've got so many other old scanners like my 898T's and my modded 895T's that I generally run for day to day listening.
Edit: I just dug out a 785D that I forgot I had. I may set it up and see if it runs a little quieter.
