xCorder

Xcorder is a windows Freeware sound recorder written by MM0BFF,  intended to work mainly with radio receivers but may be used also in several different ways.

XCorderMain feature of this free software is the ability to start recording only when a signal input is detected, so that it will not record during pauses or when only carrier is detected, saving a lot of space in your hard drives.

Best results are achieved by recording on VHF UHF bands signals since here the Squelch work better, and can correctly trigger the recording on.

This does not mean that you cannot record on HF bands but for sure it will require mode fine tuning on Squelching and however this will not solve the QRN peaks to activate unwanted transmissions.

    I have a question about wav file playback. When I adjust the playback output level slider in the Playback windows, it starts going back down on it’s own until the output sound level is 0. It does not matter if I am actually playing a file or not, it just goes down on it’s own over a period of about 5 seconds. It does the same thing if I am playing back a file. Do you have any idea what would be causing this?

    This program looks like what I am looking for. See my recent YouTube video about recording off HF with time stamping. My channel is hamrad88 and one of my subscribers sent me to your website. I am just learning how to use this program. I have a problem right off the bat, when I playback a recording, I have no audio but when I move the volume slider up the sound is there but the slider will not stay set, over a few seconds it slides back down. Any help will be appreciated.

    Every time my computer restarts I have to recheck the “Record in Startup”, “Create new file every hour”, and turn logging off. Why is the program not saving my options? I can the program via shortcut in windows Startup menu, it would be nice to have it automatically start and with the hourly recordings.

    Also issue with playback vol slider. Found if I went to the computer mixer sliders I could click the slider and it would stay.

    Playback slider issue – go to your computer audio mixer screen and slide the appropriate level adjust. It will hold the setting.

    Years later! Been looking for a program like this one, and it works well, except as above, the playback slider falls to zero. Unfortunately the mixer slider trick does not work.
