Aha ... someone who understands specs. I'm really glad you researched
it ... I suspect others may be happy also. So far, I think it's going
to be the ZOOM.
Thanks,
Dean

Yeah, Lee the Pocketrak 2G is in the catalog I'm using ... as
you say, it lists at $350. Says the thing is only .5 in thick ..
I'm wondering how much sound the built-in speaker can put out. I'm
checkin' it out.
I downloaded the manual.
A handy device, but if you're looking for something flexible, this
looks
weak. Its memory is 2GB and not removable -- which means you have to
transfer files before you can record more, and based on the manual,
finding the right files to delete could be nasty. It also doesn't have
phantom power if you want a higher quality external microphone. The
PCM
recording is limited to 44.1KHz. And the temperature specs are
especially
bad at 41F to 95F (5C-35C).
It looks like all you gain for paying an extra $50-150 is thin --
about
the same HxW and 1/2 the D compared to the H2 or Microtrack. Unless
thin
is what is most important, wait for the next generation.
