LogExtract for the AR-DV3 - User Guide

LogExtract is a PC utility for viewing the recording logs that the AR-DV3
receiver automatically saves within its WAV audio files. You can use it to
find and play individual conversations, filter log entries, and export the
results to CSV.

It is especially useful for reviewing recordings made while scanning or
searching with SQL.SKIP set to ON to skip silent periods.
