HF action recording

[radioshane]

I am thinking of buying a raspberry pie and I wonder if anyone knows if you can rig it up to the AF jack on the back of a alnico R8E to record HF action?

Why? There are numerous good recording packages out there - all you need is a good shielded cable from the R8E to the soundcard in your PC

Way more storage available on your PC than on a Pi...Mike.

is there not a way to do it on raspberry pie then?

 

[ka3jjz]

I don't know of any such app, but there might well be one - I don't use a Pi

I would think that the lack of free storage might be an issue, but I could be wrong. Certainly it won't have the storage ability of even a cheap laptop. Mike

mike don't you know of a way at all?

 

[ka3jjz]

As I said, I don't have a Pi, and I don't know of any app that could do this. Mike

A RPi is not limited to its onboard SD card for storage. You can mount network drives or backup to places like Dropbox with scripts. Radiosave is a script I use for recording. It even removes all the dead space in the recording (although I don't know if this would work on HF the way it works with squelched FM) and makes hourly MP3 files.

but were can I get step by step instructions for rigging the pie up to the alnico R8E?

You assume such step-by-step instructions exist?

You are asking about an application that is outside mainstream. Something not many people will do. The fewer people who do it the less likely the task will be well documented. Further, you are asking specifics to your receiver (of course the receiver type matters not), further reducing the likelihood someone will have exactly the answer you want. That really is not the way these things work most of the time.

Thunderknight responded with basically what you want. The answer that it can, and is, done with a Pi and the name of the specific script he uses to do it. A quick Google search on that name turns up a page with instructions on how to use / configure for that operation ( https://sites.google.com/site/glyman3home/radiosave ). It is not a step-by-step of how to hook it to your radio, and assumes some level of knowledge.

But I bet it is as close as you will find.
