[IRCA] More on the R-09 Edirol Recorder

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In battery tests, I got just under 4 hours of recording time on two 
standard, cheap, AA batteries.  The unit also runs on a 120vac 
wall-wart transformer that supplies 3vdc to the recorder.  I've 
ordered two battery-clip-holders for next to nothing to hold two-each 
D cells. I'll epoxy those two holders back-to-back and have four D 
cells running this thing. Overseas, I'll strictly rely on regular 
alkaline batteries, but in the USA, I plan to use NiMh rechargeables.

One of the nicest things about the R-09 is what happens as the 
batteries near the end of their life.  First, the display light 
starts cycling off and on.... after ten or 15 minutes of that action, 
the light keeps flashing on/off, but the R-09 starts throwing up a 
written warning message that the battery is about gone.  You have at 
least 15 minutes worth of warning to close things out on that 
recording and change batteries. Very nice, very professional!
