![]() wrote: I do own a little RCA six hour digital recorder,and several cassette tape recorders too.(the Bell South woman or that other woman lost the battery cover and the instruction manual when I loaned it to them last Feburary) My Radio Shack Pro-91 hand held scanner radio has an earphone jack on top by the antenna and on/off/volume control knob and the squelch knob.How should I hook it up? cuhuln I too use an RCA recorder, a 5012A model. My friend uses a 5012B model but it doesn't work as well. Many say it depends on who is using the recorder. For some reason I don't get nearly as many voices when the recorder is left by itself, but if the operator is near it, the more success you'll have. I think it's because they use your energy somehow. Get an audio cable and plug from the mic jack on the recorder to the earphone jack on the scanner, tune to a random frequency with only static and press record. Record for about 30 seconds and upload the tape onto your computer and amplify the sound (shareware software like Cool Edit is best, and also the use of a Denoiser helps: http://www.speechpro.com/production/?id=468&fid=7 click on "Denoiser Demo" on top right of the screen - it only allows you to denoise 30 seconds at a time but that's perfect for EVP recordings. I have not used the Virtos Denoiser or other newer denoiser software which have popped up overnight). Some here may argue that the use of a denoiser may corrupt the results further, but experiments with it using my own faint voice over a lot of white noise proved beneficial in that the denoiser clearly brought out my voice which was nearly inaudible over the static. Remember, everything in the universe involves energy. It would take a particularly strong spirit to yell or scream on a tape. Most voices are faint but as you record and experiment more they get stronger. Soon you'll recognize who they are by their voice. For a control, do a separate recording of the frequency without plugging it through the scanner. For some reason the voices that appear through the scanner are more monotone, and the ones in the room with the scanner used as background noise are more dimensional in nature. Good luck and feel free to email me if you need help. Jeff |
