Vox Recorder is a Windows utility wich allows recording sound from an audio source only when an audio signal is present; its main purpose is to avoid the recording of the silence eventually present at the input. Vox Recorder has been designed in particular for radio-scanner hobbists. If you are one of them, you already know how much time has to be spent when monitoring a new frequency: the traffic on the new channel is very sparse and communications are short, with long pauses between each one. With Vox Recorder you can compress a whole day's worth of monitoring onto a single .wav file. You can leave the computer on and connected to a scanner at home while you are at the office or doing something else; later, you can listen the messages caught by your radio how many times you want. In this way you can quickly monitor suspicious channels and have all the "action" into a single audio file.
WinTone was designed to be able to decode virtually any set of
tones, regardless of their frequency. And since there are so many
different Tonesets (DTMF, CCIR, ZVEI, EIA, EEA, etc.) we decided
to make WinTone modular. If you need to be able to decode a
different standard, simply copy that DLL into the WinTone directory
and you instantly have access to tone decoding.. That simple.
Tone Squelch Selection
The other type of ToneSet is a Tone Squelch set. These tones are
normally constant in the background of any transmission, and are
usually sub-audible. An example of this type is CTCSS. They are
used mostly for multi-user frequencies when you only want to hear one
particular conversation, but do not want to hear anyone else. The tones
are used to "Break Squelch". These tones are selected in the same way
as active tones, by selecting the available modules from the pull down box.
Only one of these tonesets may be active at one time, but they may be
selected along with an active ToneSet.
