I suggested this TIVO-like replay feature while chatting just before the 11/1 Town Meeting. I'd like to see it work just like the TIVO replay feature: a pre-determined amount of recorded history in a moving window (circular buffer) with the ability to rewind, fast-forward, slow-motion or just go back 15 seconds at a time. Additionally, when going in slow-motion the audio could be scaled to normal pitch. This would really help when trying to pull out that weak one that insists on sending CW at 30+ WPM. I think the IF should be recorded so that filters can be adjusted during playback. Total size of the recording window should be adjustable. At 192 KHz sampling, the storage requirements are not that large. Just use a file for the buffer. My TIVO box maintains a 30 minute buffer for two separate channels. Doing the same here requires a lot less storage. How would I use it? Primarily for getting the callsign of a weak station in a pileup (usually on 160M or 80M), but I can also see using it for weak-signal VHF/UHF work. I can't imagine using it much in a contest. There usually isn't time for that kind of instant playback, unless you're much better at multi-tasking than I am. 73, Clay W7CE _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/
