I have just looked at the documentation for a couple of the Radio Shack tape recorders commonly used with TRS80s, and both have automatic gain control on recording. It is actually quite rare to see a simple portable cassette recorder which doesn't have automatic gain control (automatic level control). The early Philips machines like the EL3300 are the only ones I've come across. -tony
