How can you set it up to audo record when the scanner stops on a talk groups/channel

It is basically a VOX recording program.

You need to connect the audio output of your scanner to the line input on your sound card.

Then fire up ScanRec and tell it to start recording. It'll only record when there is audio on the line. You need to setup the scanner to only scan talkgroups you want to record.

Iv got it in the line in. So i just hit record and even thou it says recording it really wont untill it gets some "action"?
No tabs or settings i have to click or change to make it auto record?
Or just open it up and away i go... OH!
Should i save it as CD, Radio or Telephone quality
And what format aswell as attrinutes

SCANREC is a good program I have been using. It only records from computer when it see's audio coming in. So If you scanner is set to que up only when someone is talking then it records otherwise it just listens.

I tinkered around quite a bit with quality settings to get it to be an optimal setting in terms of disk space and audio quality. I'll post them when I get home, but IIRC, I use the Lame MP3 encoder, 11,025k 16 bit mono, which gives me something like 800 hours on a 10 gig drive. I'll double check when I get home though.

I once tried with an older version 8k samples/s, 8 bit, non-encoded, and got
acceptable results (for my purposes). Not everyone has a hugh disk, or the
option to fill it up regardless of size.

Yeah, I checked my settings, they're what I posted above. It seems to work alright. The audio quality isn't any noticibly different than the source audio.

Iv got mine set to radio and 8.000kHz, 16bit and it recoreds with very nice playback
