Mine didn't default to Allcalls, Anycalls, Listen Calls,
or Voice Detect. I clicked them. That didn't change
things. Then I turned everything on. It crashed.
I unclicked "Sounding". Then I got something.

Cool. But what does it mean?

I think that this page is useful, as it says a few things about how to
interpret this info:

ALE is a world unto itself, though. Not sure it's my cup of tea, but
I'm trying to feel it out.


That's a good link.
Looks interesting. But it also looks like it is pretty
important that the program control the frequency of
the receiver. That won't work for me but I surely
can eavsdrop on one frequency at a time now.

The link also refers to something I've not yet managed to do. The
author says that

"[w]hen the PC-ALE program detects a link being made...the program
will automatically stop scanning and will record the audio on the
channel to a .wav file if the record function is enabled. I have the
recorder set up to record 300 seconds, or five minutes, of audio when
two stations link up."

I have the record function enabled but PC-ALE has never recorded
a .wav file containing audio. I don't know if this is because I'm
never receiving anything to record or because some other software
setting is off. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me?
