Fw: [A-DX] request for advice on audio recording

["Harry Forsblom" <harry.forsblom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hello, Herman
There are presently many brands of of mp3 recorders with SD-cards (I use a 
generous 8 Gb SD card) and with a line input plus "line in microphone 
inputs". The latter is in practise also a line in (it records by line 
directly from the rx, not necessarily by a microphone).
  I have for some years now used a Tascam DR-1 mp3 recorder, which is
excellent, noiseless and problemless for a DX-er (I use it through "Mic 
1" -input, because you can there control the volume levels, which is not the 
case through the "line in" proper). But the Tascam DR-series also has newer 
models. The newest models have a metal casing. Tascam DR has many special 
features which are very useful for a DX:er. There are others, too, like the 
Olympus models.
