I used to have this issue with Mini-Disc. The radio antenna would pick up intereference from the drive and ruin the recordings. I solved it by separating the mini-disc from the radio by about 3 ft. A 3 ft patch cord was easy to find.

It has 4 recording "speeds", all of which are probably more than enough for Lo-Fi DXing. The top speed generates a huge amount of interference and makes DXing impossible, while the other three are fairly silent RF-wise. Does the iRiver have selectable speeds? 73 - Kevin > > Guy Atkins reported a failure (generated interference) recording the > output of an Ultralight using his otherwise very nice MP3 > player/recorder, the iRiver X20.
