[IRCA] mp3 recorders for recording DX

["Bill Harms" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

George, I already have a flash player-recorder (an iRiver IFP-890) 
that I have been playing around with.  It has several shortcomings, 
like no time stamp, proprietary software and file extensions, and 
difficulty in monitoring the recordings.

I was just thinking that maybe a 10 to 60 GB recorder might be a good 
storage device if it was DXer friendly. 

I don't have any experience with a voice recorder as you describe.
