Tecsun PL660

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!
If I recall correctly there is a list member who is looking for information on 
buttons and controls for his Tecsun PL-660 radio.
A document has been released by Tecsun Radio Australia to aid Blind users of 
this radio and I link to it thus.

RE: accessible digital recorder with editing

[Steve Jacobson]

If this has been covered, I apologize in advance.  I know the Zoom makes very 
nice recordings at a great price, and I also have seen blind people using them 
effectively.  If price is not a primary consideration, do any of the more 
accessible recorders make recordings that are as high in quality?  In other 
words, what makes it worth giving up more accessible menus?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

No, the H1 doesn't have a Pre-record buffer but i'm sure some of the 
other Zoom models do.

The H1 for waht it is presents a very basic audio recorder designed to 
do a job and do it very well, record audio at a very bargain basement 
price though there's nothing bargain basement about the recordings 
theZoom H1 makes.
