Hi Bill,

Yes, the RDS features in Console are excellent!

For looping an MS burst, try Rec/Playback > Navigator and follow your nose. I did put together a tutorial on looping a small segment of a recording - if I can find it I'll reply to this post with a link!

Short version, when playing back a recording, is there a way to set an A->B loop in SDR-Console?

Here's why. First, I want to send a huge thank you to Simon for adding the FM RDS log feature. I'm just back from a DXpedition where I used this feature combined with the rabbitears.info RDS autologger to capture FM Meteor Scatter during the Orionids meteor shower. Even though the autologger can only log a single frequency at a time it was very successful to identify times of activity. I had it running 24/7 and at convenient times I extracted the RDS database to Excel, did some basic sorting and could tell when to look in (and save) the recordings. The automated results can be seen here - https://rabbitears.info/tvdx/fm_one_tuner_map/79  For anyone who does FM DX this is mostly Meteor Scatter over 7 days. It's nothing short of incredible and the recordings are still to be reviewed.

Back home now comes the months of listening to the recordings and extracting the ID's. Fortunately SDR-Console and the autologger both work from a recording. What I'd like to do is identify a short burst and set an A->B loop (5 seconds as an example). That way from a 60 second recording a 5 second loop will step through 12 times faster and find many more ID's. If A->B doesn't exist I could re-write the 60 second IQ files as shorter copies of only the desired section.

Thanks,
