Re: [IRCA] Deep Cycle battery back up

[Bill Harms <philcobill@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick, have you thought of using a mini-MP3 recorder with a line-in? I
have an IRiver IFP-899, which works wonderfully. I hook it up to my car
radio to record bandscans while driving, and have tested it with my R8.
It directly encodes into MP3 files and it much smaller than a cassette
recorder.
