WAV Recorder

The WAV Recorder (added in v0.9.0) is a reel-to-reel style tape deck for your audio. It records your receive or transmit audio to a standard .wav file and plays it back — either locally through your speakers or back out over the air.

Add it from Add Panel → Tools → WAV Recorder.

Recording

  1. Pick the source — RX (what you're hearing) or TX (your transmit/monitor audio).
  2. Press Record. The reels spin while it captures 32-bit float WAV at the radio's audio rate.
  3. Press Stop. The file is saved (default location: your Downloads folder).

Playback

  • Local — play a recorded file back through your computer's audio so you can review it.
  • Over the air — feed a recording back into the transmit path (under your control — it only goes out while you're keyed). Handy for repeating a recorded call, a bulletin, or a test transmission.

Tips

  • Recording to a fast local disk (the default Downloads folder) is best. Recording over a slow network share can stall under load — keep recordings local.
  • RX recording is great for capturing a fleeting weak-signal contact or a net you want to keep; TX recording lets you hear exactly what you sounded like on the air.
