Wayne confirm that in a mail to me after the exact same question - length of
recording is TBD, but it can be save via PC out too.

Did he happen to mention the format of the saved file? If it's MP3, he
might have to pay royalties to the current patent holders. He could use
something open and royalty free. GPL'd format like OGG Vorbis.
(http://www.vorbis.com/)  Would be much more in line with the philosophy
of Ham Radio IMO.

It has better sound quality at lower bit rates as well.

Nick,

This just means you can feed the audio from the PC
Audio-out to the input on your computer's soundcard and
use whatever software you normally use for
recording....normally .wav files.  Then  you can save them
on your hard drive.

No he didn't, I think that is TBD as well.

I'll find out soon, having just placed my order :-)

Why not connect the K3 to a second soundcard on your PC and use one of the
many free programs for recording?

Myself I've coded up MP3 on Windows, would like to use .WMA format but don't
understand it properly. Ideally I would save audio in .WMA format with
embedded info such as date and time, frequency, mode etc.

A project to be started when there's nothing else to do, probably ready when
the K4 appears.

 LAME (Lame Aint an Mp3 Encoder) contains no patented software
and many encoders are based on it. MPEG does not define an
encoding algorithm.
 http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php
At the bottom of that page there are two links to a description
of what mp3 is. One is from the self appointed patent holders
and the other is more accurate.
 This reminds me of SCO claiming rights over gnu/linux.
I don't see LAME nor gnu/linux being shut down.

I use LAME, it's very good. You can set various levels of compression and
bandwidth.
Guess who bought the rights to UNIX from SCO - go on, guess?

I have ProTools 7 on my Mac Powerbook. I run the audio from the K2
headphone jack into the PT interface (mBox-2). Using multi-band
compression, excitation and EQ, some awesome sounding QSO's can be
recorded. The recording can then be saved whatever format I want -
usually mp3. I plan to take the portable Protools rig with me to
Bermuda this summer so I can record me handling some big fat pileups..
:)
