That makes buying even a modest MP3 recorder painful, let alone when I
got my big ticket Icom. Paying double for everything is a pain in the
ass and very limiting.............

Have fun and good DX

Try to find a Creative Labs Zen V Plus, it is a 4GB MP3 player/
recorder with
mic and stereo !!line!! input. LithION battery that is recharged by
the USB
data transfer port and super, and I mean silent, RF quiet!
Flash drive or flash RAM, no hard drive to fail.

USA prices:
$100 for a 4GB
$69 0r $79 for 2GB.

128 or 168? encoding. Since I use mine for HF I haven't even tested
the higher
datarate. I would love a firmware patch to lower the capture rate to
64K. It will
run for at least 15 hours and, to me this is worthless, will also play
videos.

Best trade of the year.
Got one for my wife and me.
She will fight to keep hers!
