Seems like you have to have an account in order to upload videos of a certain 
length to You Tube!  I have something I wouldn't mind putting up there myself, 
but haven't a clue as to how you do it!

Some ware on the upload page there should be a page that should inform you. WMV 
should work though. As for size, well it isn't so much the size but time. I 
think but I guess it aint true any more, vids could be 10 minutes. Some of mine 
are an hour so so much for that I guess.

Re: Audio Enhancements Found In IOS 8

Hi again!

the Audio Ducking might be effecting things too when you're using automated 
phone systems so perhaps - if you're ever using IOS 8 again - you could change 
that setting, again found in the rotor.

Re: Audio Enhancements Found In IOS 8

For everyone's information, the iPhone 5C has the same processing power as the 
iPhone 5 so its 2 generations behind the 6 but that aside, I'm very glad I 
didn't experience the problems you outlined with my iPhone 5.

The volume of the speech is different but that can be easily fixed by 
increasing the Voice Volume with the Volume option in the rotor, should make 
things easier when you're dealing with automated call machines such as banks 
etc.

also, there is this annoying added feature in voice memos that clips 
sound at times and I couldn't find any way of stopping it from happening.


Also, Voiceover's volume is reduced so much during phone calls that it's 
almost impossible to hear when you need to select numbers to respond to 
an automation unit such as a bank's automated phone system. I'm hoping

All Busy On The Radio Front

2014-09-26 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

Even though I've been busy over the last few weeks I haven't stopped listening 
to radio.

I bought another set, the Tecsun S2000, this model - though its been around for 
some time - will be referred to for quite some time to come given its excellent 
feature set, ease of use and its feel, I'll report on this set in some detail 
in the not to distant future.

My only regret is that radio lovers in the U.S. probably won't be able to lay 
their hands on one of these lovely portables, the Grundig Satellite 750 is very 
similar but of poorer quality and cheaper build it seems, there are other 
differences which I'll outline at the appropriate time.

The second big news is the arrival of the Eton Field Radio, I know little of 
this radio at the present time but I do know of someone who has ordered one and 
he hopes to have it early next week so I'm most interested to hear his report.  
From what I do know the design sounds very similar to the CC SW radio which 
worries me, that radio has all the traits of being a good radio and certainly 
would have been had the build and quality control been better.

The Eton Field radio is available from your local Radio Shack store I'm told.

Audio Enhancements Found In IOS 8

2014-09-26 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

I reported to the list the arrival of my iPhone 6 and how I was pleasantly 
surprised at the audio quality of the internal speaker, yes still only one 
speaker but a very good sounding one at that.

You don't need an iPHone 6 to be running the latest operating system which is 
IOS 8.2 released earlier today, IOS 8.x will work on all models from iPhone 4S 
and above though some people who use iPhone 4S have reported that the 
performance of IOS is very sluggish and can crash, IOS worked okay on my iPhone 
5 but performance is snappy on the iPhone 6.

Anyway that aside there are some interesting enhancements to audio worth the 
mention and the most obvious is a control to turn "Audio Ducking" on and off, 
by default this is on.

"Audio Ducking" is the effect whereby all other sounds output from the iPhone 
are reduced in volume whilst Voiceover is speaking, "Audio Ducking" also occurs 
when you're playing music or listening to radio, watching video etc, if the 
iPhone sounds an alert such as an incoming eMail or SMS the music is reduced in 
volume so the alert sound is clearly audible.

The effect can be turned off through settings or the user can add the control 
to the Voiceover Rotor so it is accessible all the time and can be conveniently 
changed if and when needed.

There are many other audio enhancements to be found including many to the 
onboard Hearing Aid App which makes the iPhone easier to use with many 
different types of hearing instruments on the market, the hearing aid App can 
be accessed through the "Accessibility"options under the "General" options in 
"settings".
