[amsat-bb] Pass recording

[Stephen E. Belter]

I just started using the Sony ICD-PX370, and I also like it very much.  It replaced a much older Sony recorder than had started to eat batteries.  As mentioned by RJ, the audio pass-thru works great.

Set the date and time to UTC.  These are incorporated into the file name of the MP3 files which make them much easier to find and identify.

    I second the Sony ICD-PX370.  Got mine locally at Bust Buy and I have had
    very good luck with it.  The good thing is that you cannot hear any audio
    in the earphones unless the unit is recording.  The limits the chances of
    not getting the pass recorded.  The only failure point that I have found is
    that if you are recording and you hit the 'pause' button, you can still
    hear audio without recording.  So watch out for that.  I have made hundreds
    of passes in the last year and never lost any audio yet.
    
    Good Luck.
