Re: [IRCA] More Recording DX

["Doug Pifer" <oregon4wd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mike,

I did miss the "drive" part. I'd prefer there not to be.  The price is high, but Im thinking if it's newer tech and does the trick, it might be worth it. I'll look into the other suggustions you mentioned. The length of recording time isn't too critical of an issue unless somehow re-writing over it was some kind of hassle or something. It's hard to beat flipping a cassette over, but I guess it can be done, hi. Thanks again...time for the dentist. Got to go.

Doug,

 

I just looked at the C.Crane link that you posted.  Agreed that the radio would be a throw-away part of this item, and that leaves a recorder that costs $160.  The page says there is a 32MB "drive" in it.  If it is a drive and not RAM, I would be concerned with drive functionality unless the recorded is treated gently at all times.  You might consider two other options...

 

1. Radio Shack has Olympus voice recorders starting at $40 that can record 45 minutes at the highest quality and 2 hours at the lowest quality.  Higher-priced Olympus models can record for up to 3 hours (high Q) or 8 hours (low Q).  You can plug radio headphone outpit into the MIC input of the recorder for a direct link (unless there is an impedance issue...not sure there).

 

2.  Everyone always forgets the most obvious solution...take radio output into the audio line in jacks of a VCR.  You can get up to 8 hours of audio in the slowest mode.
