Boondock Echo – Smart Radio Recording and Monitoring

Post author By admin
Post date January 26, 2024

I got a chance to get my hands on a Boondock Echo for use with my amateur radios and scanners. It allows you record, transcribe and notify you for the traffic you want to hear. It’s a great tool for busy enthusiasts who never want to miss out on the radio action! https://www.crowdsupply.com/boondock-technologies/boondock-echo

Post date January 12, 2024
