Clicking on the Dump Archive tab lists all Dump files stored within PDM II. The most recent file is shown first. Files are built in pairs, one for the studio audio that got deleted (OffAir) and one for what the listeners actually hear (OnAir).
Clicking on any file name will play the corresponding audio through your browser. To download the files to your computer, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) and use your browser's "Save Linked File" command.
Files may not exceed 120 seconds in length. For stations running exceptionally long delays, the log file audio will start with the pre-context audio followed by as much of the delay buffer audio that will fit in the remaining available time.

As the OffAir file includes both the "safe" audio leading up to the Dump event plus the objectionable material itself. Unless you are using Overkill Mode (which covers the dumped material with an internal audio file of the same length), the OffAir file will be longer than the OnAir file. In the unlikely event that PDM II has zero delay available when the Dump button is pressed and you are not using Overkill Mode, both files will be identical in size and will contain only the pre- and post-Dump context audio.
