The contest recorder allows you to record both main and sub VFO audio for the whole contest in MP3 format onto your PC hard disc.

If you want to start recording, you have to download libmp3lame.dll [1] and copy it into DXLog.net installation folder. Usually C:\Program Files\DXLog.net. but for newer Windows versions (Vista, Win7), usually C:\Program Files(x86)\DXLog.net.

Before recording, see Options->MP3 config to set parameters which fits to your PC sound card setup.

Encoding rate is currently fixed to 32000 kHz, stereo, 96kbps which is more than adequate for good recordings with a reasonable file size.

Recording levels are set in the Windows Recording Devices of your PC, strongest signals should peak top yellow on the Contest Recorder bar graph display for best results.

Playback using the buttons on the Contest Recorder or right click on the Contest Recorder for more playback options:-
