Linda, did you ever get that Flash card to work properly for a long period of time? Some I have purchased just haven't been compatible with the PTR but have worked for about that time before crashing out . . .. It could therefore be that you had something incompatible but thought it was working, as I did. If the FLASH card is formatted anything but plain FAT then it doesn't seem to work.

I have had the same progblem when I was recording some records on the flash card. When I tried to copy it to CD it woult do tha very thing it just keept sayuing something 11 minutes but it would do that on hours and the only way I could make it quit was to take the battery out and put it in again. No one ever answered me about what to do about this problem.
