Yaesu: Yaesu FT3R - Download recordings? (WAV File)

[SoCalSearch]

Hi everyone... new radio user here. I was able to download the International Space Station SSTV to my Yaesu when it made a pass over my area. I have the recordings on my Yaesu, but I've spent the last hour trying to figure out how to download the WAV file to my computer so I can decode the data.

When I plug in my radio to the computer, it doesn't display any drives and I'm now sure how to connect to the device to pull the data. I use the RT programming software, but that doesnt appear to have any ability to download the recordings.

Does anyone know how I can pull off the WAV files? I hope I don't have to use an external reader to get the data, that would be dissapointing.

Thanks everyone

I don't think the radio will play the files and you would have to put the SD card in a computer. The recorded files are in the VOICE folder.

I found an sstv app in google play. Friend shiwed it to me. We send stuff to each other via 2meter to smartphone. Might search google play n see if you can get it for your computer

Check the manual information about using the voice recording function starting on Page 49. That might help.

The audio recording is in a WAV file so simply pull out the SD card and transfer it over to the computer.

I did this for those that took part on our Yaesu WiRES-X Santa net this year. When they checked into the next the QSO was recorded. As stated simply pop out the card, put in your computer, and click and drag.

Now that some of these handheld radios record directly, my results of SSTV captures are improved. I previously used my phone to record the audio and then decode SSTV using a paid app.

I use a Kingston FCR-MRG2 adapter. It is about the smallest MicroSD to USB adapter I have seen. I am not disappointed that I use a MicroSD card reader. Here are two images from a recent pass using the recorded wav file on the card.



It would be nice if the Yaesu could play back the captured audio directly. My Kenwood D74A can play back the recorded files. Hint, Hint John.

Are you asking if it could playback what you just recorded over the air on the radio?

It can

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up because I then saw Log in the menu and remembered, as I last used it to review pictures using the camera mic. Looks like my brain needed the firmware update.

Thank you for the reminder and for the truckload of everything else you and the gang do from the hardware of course to the videos.

I'll probably have to get the adapter. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.
