Re: [IRCA] IFP-795 too much 'tronix for just recording

Charlie:

The problem is that any MP3 recorder with an analog line input is going to
be the recorder with a lot of features. I don't think you'll find a plain
jane unit with line in. My memory is rather fresh in this area because a few
of us have been looking for MP3 recorders with a certain set of features, so
it's kind of burned into my brain right now.

Besides, anything you find is not going to be more than a few dollars
cheaper but likely more expensive.

After my little survey, I'd just as soon buy the 795 or 895 as anything
else.

Guy,

Thank you for the heads up. I checked it out and decided, no, too much 
'tronix for what I need.

All that I want is a recorder that will accept wired (stereo or mono) audio 
from my R8B or from my old cassette recorder, and write a file. Don't 
really need to get an adjunct FM tuner, TV, backscratcher or WWII 
bombsight. Just a recorder.

Will look at the T30, if I can find any.

Object is a stand-alone recorder that won't generate RFI.

Any other ideas from others?
