- Record to an HD-based MP3 player that allows recording via line
input.

I use scanrec for general scanner and SWL recording. Mainly cuz it has
a VOX capability for on/off scanner use, and it supports compression
built in. The length the of the files will vary to smaple rate, etc,
but as an example, the lowest quality mpeg will let 60mb of HD space
last about 17-18 hours..

I also use an old program called windat, which is a general purpose
recorder program. I think windows sound recorder is limited to about 1
min, as far as recording a new file.
I also have the old fashioned tape decks too...Have a sony r2r, and
also a tandberg r2r. But I prefer scanrec most of the time. My 706 is
always run through the sound card here in the house, so it's always
ready to go. MK
