When the Perseus hardware connection is alive and you listen to MW in real time, then you are in the LIVE MODE. If you have some recordings available, you can quickly toggle the LIVE MODE and ARCHIVE MODE anytime. You can also jump to the ARCHIVE mode and, at the same time, make new wideband recordings.
When you are in the LIVE MODE, you can not only listen live, but you can also use the 10-minute buffer to study TOH announcements on all frequencies after TOH has passed, while in the LIVE MODE. So you have a plenty of time to decide if you want to keep the currently-running file. The recording mode can be powered ON/OFF any time.
A new buffer will be created automatically after each 10 minutes when using a samplig rate of 1.6 MHz, and after each 8 minutes with the sampling rate of 2.0 MHz. You can always start a new buffer by creating a breakpoint (see BREAKPOINT for details).
JAGUAR is the only SDR software available where you can use a maximum buffering time of 10 minutes.
If you have both Perseus connected and recordings available, you can toggle the LIVE MODE and ARCHIVE MODE by pressing the "L" key, or clicking TOOLBAR > L.
In LIVE MODE, you can jump to a new HH'MM'SS (within the current buffer) by clicking PLAYBAR. The vertical line on PLAYBAR shows your playback position in the buffer.
When you move the mouse over the frequency, you can always override the time-scrolling mode and change to the nominal frequency (based on the current stepping) using the mouse wheel or the left/right arrow keys.
