Line Level Converter To Use with 536HP

[n5ypj]

Hi,

I'm interested in using a line out converter to interface the BCD 536HP's external speaker jack to a PC soundcard Line In jack or input. I'm tired of fighting the intermittent WiFi issue here.

Is anyone using a manufactured convertor? If so would you let me know what product and how well it works please?

Thanks

Richard

They are usually named "ground loop isolator" or similar and is a must when connecting external audio devices to a PC to get rid of hum. Some scanner feed operators should also use them.

I'm not sure what kind of intermittent issue you have. The scanner Wi-Fi is stable. Using My free RadioFeed connected to the Wi-Fi should work. Turn the loopback on in RadioFeed and you will get the audio to the computer speakers.

Hi Bob,

I do long term recording like several hours or overnight. I've tried using WiFi to record from to ProScan for some unknown reason the recordings stop being recorded. The PC I used for that had been "tuned" to turn all of the power saving and sleep functions off because I was recording from my 996XT to ProScan and it did a beautiful job. It's discouraging not being able to record from the 536HP to ProScan.


PS: The only thing I would change on ProScan is a Linux version.

Put a 64GB card in the scanner and let the scanner do the recording. It can take several weeks to fill the card, depending on radio activity.
