Charlie: The problem is that any MP3 recorder with an analog line input is going to be the recorder with a lot of features. I don't think you'll find a plain jane unit with line in. My memory is rather fresh in this area because a few of us have been looking for MP3 recorders with a certain set of features, so it's kind of burned into my brain right now.
Besides, anything you find is not going to be more than a few dollars cheaper but likely more expensive. After my little survey, I'd just as soon buy the 795 or 895 as anything else.

I checked it out and decided, no, too much 'tronix for what I need. All that I want is a recorder that will accept wired (stereo or mono) audio from my R8B or from my old cassette recorder, and write a file. Don't really need to get an adjunct FM tuner, TV, backscratcher or WWII bombsight. Just a recorder. Will look at the T30, if I can find any. Object is a stand-alone recorder that won't generate RFI. Any other ideas from others? 73 de Charlie At 01:35 PM 1/30/2007 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Charlie, >The IFP-795 is available refurbished for $63 at: >http://salestores.com/irifre51mp3p.html >You can typically find it cheaper on Ebay, though. >I have this model as a backup recorder, and I think it's one of the best >for DX recordings due to the line-in, flexible encoding rates, and the >standard AA battery power. >Guy Atkins >Puyallup, WA > _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
