Re: A tip to overcome one of the annoying problems with the Zoom H1
A thousand percent agreeance with this technique. I used to keep a cheap pocket AM radio on me for just these purposes. People used to think I'd lost it! Then I actually did--lost the radio, that is, never found another to replace it. Guess they don't make those things much any more. You can figure out some amazing things by listening to those noises. Like whether a PC has crashed or frozen or has just lost speech but is otherwise operating, or even when the picture on your TV set has gone wonky.

Now this tip isn't going to be for everyone as not everyone wears hearing instruments which can be used with induction loops but if you do? Well here's a handy way to use your instruments to great effect when sorting out one of the very few functions of the Zoom H1 which isn't accessible. I'm talking about the Bit and Sample rate of the file you're recording, this is changed in Standby mode by using the fast forward and rewind buttons, rewind takes you back through the cycle whilst fast forward takes you forward through the cycle of bit and sample rates. When recording using Wave Broadcast format you cycle through 44.1KHZ 16 Bit, 48KHZ 24 bit and so on right the way up to 96KHZ 24 and back to 44.1KHZ 16 bit so how to tell where you are. Well turn your instruments to pick up induction loops and put the recorder near them. Now start recording, you'll be able to hear the recorder as it writes to the SD card and the slower the rate of writing then the small the sample size, 44.1KHZ 16 bit has the Zoom H1 writing to the SD card about every half second whilst 96KHZ 24 bit has the H1 writing to the SD card every sixth of a second or so. Just thought others may find this helpful as I do, still haven't worked out a way to set the date and time for date/time stamping of recordings but I have to admit to not trying too hard, after all! one can change all that when the files are copied from the H1 to your computer.

Re: A tip to overcome one of the annoying problems with the Zoom H1
An AM radio can also be used to determine the distance to a nearby thunder storm. Listen to the loudest static crashes and count the seconds until you hear the thunder, about 5 seconds to the mile. If the time interval is 0, I hope you're in a building with a lightning rod!

Do such things as small amps with induction loops built in exist?
