[amsat-bb] Pass recording

[John Brier]

R.J., you said this: "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"

I looked at the pictures on Amazon and it looks like the Power button
also functions as a hold button. I believe that locks out all the
other buttons. I always use that on my Olympus so I suggest you try it
and see if it blocks you from accidentally pausing the recording.

This recorder looks like a decent replacement of my Olympus. The
Olympus recorded in WAV though which is nice for making videos and it
was also chargeable via USB. Someone said this one doesn't have that
ability.

I think I'll get one from Best Buy tomorrow.
