HAM/First Responder SoundScanner

Prior to Strong Angel 2, I built a Windows based "WAV Scanner" that could monitor Groove GFS folders for WAV files. John Graham used a piece of software to encode HAM traffic into WAV files which were placed in a Groove GFS folder. Groove would then replicate these WAVs so anyone subscribing to the space would actually hear the HAM transmission. In this way, someone in Brussels could "monitor" HAM frequencies in use in Kona while sitting at their desk (no HAM equip required on that end).

I've rev'd this for SA3 and it now works with MP3 files. If anyone wants a copy, please ping me. Prereqs are: Windows XP, .NET Framework 2.0, and Windows Media Player 9 or higher. The program will monitor any Groove GFS folder, or, shared Windows network folder.

Ham monitoring

I'd be interested in using something like this to integrate HAM traffic into the eViTAP system. We can certainly process WAV files right now and they would give us the most accurate time stamps for that speech to text processing. We might be able to handle MP3 as well but I would need to test that out. Any details on how HAM traffic is going to be archived during the demonstration would be useful.
