Thanks for the info, Jesse. I did hear about the sound card for Rasberry Pi. There is the Blue Icicle that has an XLR adapter, USB connection, and pre-amp that could be used with a computer that has a sound card. I’d like to find a small computer than can record for a few days to a week on D-batteries. Perhaps no such thing exists as yet. I suspect even Beaglebone would require more power than that?

I've heard good things about Beaglebone. best wishes, jesse On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 10:39 AM, John Kearney <john.kear...@ns.sympatico.ca <mailto:john.kear...@ns.sympatico.ca> > wrote: Thanks Jerald. I find it very interesting to learn what other people are using for nocturnal monitoring. It often gives me new ideas. I’m curious to know if anyone has tried using the Raspberry Pi computer as a recording device and how long it could run on batteries.

Yes, I record overnight, and I save calls that I hear live. I'm using a mic that I built loosely following the plans on the Oldbird website, and a preamp that I bought from Amazon. For recording I use Raven lite while listening live, but I record overnight with audacity and the oldbird detectors.
