And that is exactly the reason I haven't taken the plunge. I record using traditional receivers recording pre-scheduled recordings via computer. I do 8 TOH's a night on two radios, each 9 minutes long. And right now I'm running a couple of days behind despite having had a 2 days off from work in the past week !
On FM, during Es season, I'm running about 18/7 on 7 receivers, but when there's no conditions going, I can just toss them without listening.
