Oh yeah I get what you mean about the radio. Yeah I've seen that with the Plextalk PTR1 and a few times less with the PTR2. Man the PTR2 was epic for what it was. Too bad it had the type 1 card limitation on it. Which it didn't have to have. Nither did the PTR1. Look at the original Book Port it could take what ever flash cards. It did type 1 and type 2. The PTR2 did do type 2 now I think of it but only up to 6 gigs. Also it has a speed limit which makes it so it can't use the cards that are out now. So I'm not so sure who is paying the $800.99 for it any more. But well last I checked people did. Lol. No seriously people must have been buying if they were being sold. Man I loved mine.

Well put simply, there's nothing quite like a good recorder to have about the place particularly for those times when you're recording Short Wave radio broadcasts and you want noise and interference kept to an absolute minimum. The Tascam generates very little noise and interference whereas the portable recorders do tend to generate some and that's fair enough given the fact that devices are pretty much self contained computers. Would I buy a DAT recorder now? Well no I wouldn't unless you have a good stock of Dat cassettes or you know where you can purchase a good stock, DAT cassettes are no longer manufactured and neither are the recorders so you'd have to look for one on the second-hand market through eBay, your local hi-fi specialist store and so on.
