I’ve just discovered that recording from the units Record Out jack isn’t all that fun either. First of all the level is nice and low, microphone level rather than Line-out I’d say but the Zoom H6 did compensate for that. Next problem I had was that the 2010 used my patch cord as an antenna thus I got all sorts of wonderful noises and interference so I’ll make a point of recording from this radio using a microphone.
