Hi All,
Looking for a radio that has a feature like this:
You know when you’re casually scrolling through the bands, and you come across something interesting, and think “hey I should have been recording that!” Is there a radio with a feature that you can press “record” and it will record the past 10-30 seconds of audio that has already past? I think the IC-7300 can do this, as well as Kenwood radios with the VGS-1 installed. Any other radio that can do this? I assume SDR maybe?

I routinely have my SDRs recording, even if I am doing casual listening. One advantage with an SDR is you can record an entire SWBC band at the same time, not just one frequency. Great if you need to go back and double check an ID, etc.

At this point I think that’s the best option. Really the only reason I’d like to do this is so that I don’t have to go back and sift through a huge recording to cut out what I want to save, but I think that might be the only option. It’d be great if we could start recording after hearing a signal and thinking “hey, this sounds like something I’d like to save.”
I have many many recordings of HF aero frequencies but usually have only half the conversation since I’m not recording during the several minutes of silence between transmissions, and miss the initial calls.
