As usual, the post from Tony contains lots of information, and correct!
Nope Tony, you did not spell the name of the program wrong, its name was
"Hobbyscoop". I remember that my late father used a C=64 and recorded
Basicode from IIRC the station called "Radio 5". He taped it on cassette,
and it worked just fine. This was in the 1983-1985 time frame.
