Eton Satellit Radio

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!


Some users of this radio - including Yours Truly - have come together to 
compile notes on the device in the hope that we can help others who have 
or are thinking about the purchase of this killer small portable.



The PDF and the printed manual for the Eton Satellit - whilst perhaps 
half useful for those with sight and who can make sense of the diagrams 
presented - is next to useless for those with no vision so time to make 
our own version of the manual if you like tthrough our own combined 
hands-on experience with the radio.



There's a lot to this radio presented through its feature set, available 
functionality and shortcuts we've found and all will be revealed to add 
to the satisfaction of the user.



I'll keep the list updated to the progess of this project.


We may release updates from time to time if we find anything new and of 
course we welcome user feedback.

Re: Olympus DM-720 Answers

[Tim Noonan]

Hi,

I haven't used a DM-7, but I have used a DM-901.  I  am quite sure the 
recording quality of the DM-720 will be quite a bit nicer. However, because the 
inbuilt speaker is very small in the DM-720 playback will be less.

Size wise, The Olympus DM-720 is slightly shorter and thinner than the DM-520 
and a tiny fraction wider. It is also lighter.

Adding the supplied pocket clip makes it a bit thicker at the top end.

Olympus DM-720 Answers

[Tim Noonan]

Hi group,

my most recent reply was rejected from the group for some reason, so I'm trying 
again without the full email chain.

The DM-720 only has Voice guidance (recorded voice) like the DM-520 and DM-620. 
The main difference is that you can now set the time and date independently via 
Voice Guidance.

The DM series including the 720 only goes up to 48K 16 bit.

Comparing the in-built microphones recording quality of the DM-520 and the 
DM-720, the 720 is much improved - it uses the central mic and I would be 
comfortable using good DM-720 voice recordings as the basis for higher-quality 
productions, tutorials etc, but for me, the DM-520 quality doesn't really make 
the grade. I haven't used a DM 620 but my sense is the audio capture is nicer 
again on the DM 720, based on Neal's review of the DM-620, but I can't be 
certain of that.

For higher sampling rates and higher bit depth recordings, the Olympus LS-P2 is 
the newest pocket-sized machine, a kind of replacement for the Olympus LS-7. 
The LS-p2 is about twice the price of the DM-720 and I haven't been able to 
justify buying one. For my purposes, I predominantly needed  a machine that 
would reliably capture voice recordings easily.

If you want a recorder to quickly and reliably capture voice notes, discussions 
etc, there is a big advantage in using the DM-720 or the DM series machines. 
That is, when you press the record button, recording immediately starts, even 
if you are not in a recorder folder before you press record. In that case, 
recordings are placed in Folder A

In comparison, with the LS machines,  pressing record puts the unit in  
record-pause so you can monitor and prepare for the recording. Pressing record 
a second time starts the recording.

Also, for the LS-14 - and probably for the LS-P2 - record doesn't always 
initiate if you aren't already in the correct folder beforehand.

Hope these explanations help.

Regards
Tim
