1. A method of selecting audio recordings of radio transmissions for static network storage, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an intermittent series of discrete transmissions of audio content from a radio channel having a channel identity, by a radio terminal having a terminal identity, which includes a radio receiver, a memory, and a network file server;
recording, and storing in the memory of the radio terminal at a location identified by a first network address, a first audio file of a first discrete radio transmission;
sending a transmission report by the radio terminal corresponding to the first audio file, which includes the channel identity, the terminal identity, and the first network address, to a cascade server located on the network;
querying a subscription database, by the cascade server, for a list of plural client terminals subscribed to receive transmission reports according to the channel identity, and then forwarding at least a portion of the transmission report to the plural client terminals, thereby enabling the plural client terminals for selectively requesting a copy of the first audio file from the network file server of the radio terminal according to the first network address;
when the list comprises a quantity of plural client terminals greater than a predetermined value, sending an upload command, including the channel identity, to the radio terminal;
in response to receipt of the upload command by the radio terminal, annotating the channel identity for static network storage, then recording a subsequent audio file of a subsequent discrete radio transmission by the radio terminal, and uploading the subsequent audio file to a predetermined address in a static network server, andsending a subsequent transmission report to the cascade server, which includes the channel identity and the subsequent network address, thereby enabling the cascade server to forward the subsequent transmission report to the plural radio terminals.

9. A system for selecting audio recordings of radio transmissions for static network storage on a network, comprising:
-
a radio terminal having a radio receiver, a memory, a network file server, and a terminal identity, which receives an intermittent series of discrete transmissions of audio content from a radio channel having a channel identity, and wherein said radio terminal records and stores a first audio file of a first discrete radio transmission in said memory at a location identified by a first network address, and wherein said radio terminal sends a transmission report, corresponding to said first audio file, which includes said channel identity, said terminal identity, and said first network address, to a cascade server located on the network, and wherein said cascade server queries a subscription database for a list of plural client terminals subscribed to receive transmission reports according to said channel identity, and then forwards at least a portion of said transmission report to said plural client terminals, thereby enabling said plural client terminals to selectively request a copy of said first audio file from said network file server of said radio terminal according to said first network address, and wherein said cascade server determines whether said list comprises a quantity of plural client terminals greater than a predetermined value, and when said list does, said cascade server sends an upload command, including said channel identity, to said radio terminal, and wherein in response to receipt of said upload command by said radio terminal, said radio terminal annotates said channel identity for static network storage, and records a subsequent audio file of a subsequent discrete radio transmission, and uploads said subsequent audio file to a predetermined address in a static network server, and sends a subsequent transmission report to said cascade server, which includes said channel identity and said subsequent network address, thereby enabling said cascade server to forward said subsequent transmission report to said plural radio terminals. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
