Mike,

I'm gonna reach out and touch you. Hard. Hi. The best reason in the 
world for a stand-alone recorder is to get the PC away from the 
receiver. Far away. Hopefully in the next county. Jeeze. That ought to 
be brutally evident. It is to me and the face on my driver's license 
looks suspiciously like something I saw in the Evansville (Indiana) zoo.

That could disqualify a bunch of digital recorders too (generating RFI, 
not looking like monkeys).

Humor aside, thanks for the advice above. As with most of us, editing of 
MP3 and WAV files is going to be done on the PC.

What about that piece that appeared in QST?

And didn't you operate out of A Secret Mountain Laboratory years ago? I 
wrote a ten-page letter to the CIA explaining that the most you 
manufactured there is mischief and TVs with no displays. Most IRCAers 
were cleared to enter. Pizzas assured that guards would look the other way.
