[amsat-bb] Recording Passes

[Peter Goodhall (2M0SQL)]

Hi Jerry,

Simple and cheap solution is a sound card interface for the TS-2000
and feed the audio into the computer.

My setup is the following IC-910HX with two ZLP Electronics soundcard
interfaces (main/sub) which I use with SatPC32 rather than having to
record each pass manually I wrote a little application called Pass
Recorder https://www.2m0sql.com/pass-recorder/ that sits and listens
to the DDE Interface from SatPC32 when a satellites going overhead it
automatically saves the file as a wav into a folder of your choice.
