Hello Dane This was never meant to be a My toy's better than yours argument so I'm glad you added the horses for courses bit. I did try my best to make it clear that I was referring to one particular device, not the overall interface which I know that people are using successfully. I have

Hello Dane Actually I was wrong about Bluetooth. The equipment they sell is FM, as you describe. But there are a number of designs. Some of them work with an input she, some of them work by interfacing with the iCom which I bought for Gordon a while back. Actually he has 2 of them now, and

I am talking about the SmartLink and not the ZoomLink. The SmartLink is worn around the neck or can be placed on the table. It has 3 different microphone settings for the internal mic and also allows external microphones to be plugged in. I am not sure if it would need to be set to work with

Hurray! we now have a store that stocks these recorders, the full range so I'm going to have a look at at a few next week, may consider the purchase of 1. The Zoom H1 is a damn nice recorder but I have to admit the ability to organise files and folders whilst on the road so to speak would be

Hello Chris This was precisely the point I tried, seemingly unsuccessfully, to make in my original post which was taken way out of context. I had problems when playing with the Motorola phone and it put me off, although I'm still willing to look elsewhere. I agree with you about the
