Hi Ed,

I've been using Total Recorder for both audio and video recording during contests.

It features a built in scheduler so you can split up the weekend in one-hour chunks in advance.

In case you want to record video and audio, you can define two sources one for video (usually a web cam) and another for audio (usually a cable going from the SO2R box to the PC mike or line-in input). It is well documented and it's very easy to use.

 

Audacity is a free alternative for audio only, but I'm not sure if it allows you to split your recordings in advance.

At my station, I use a dedicated computer to run the SO2R switching and
software.  Its not the most advanced nor has the biggest hard drive.  But
its solid and stable.  I also run my laptop to a separate screen providing
the geoclock grayline and internet software like radar weather and
propagation updates.  It's a Windows 8 machine with a 500Gb hard drive.  I
am thinking that I can run a parallel audio line to my headphones into the
line input jack of the laptop.  I would need a program designed to record
the full audio file of this magnitude.



Are there suggestions and comments to the above?

It seems reasonable to be ready to provide this if the above is easily
implementable.
