Looks a lot like the North American ultra-light Sony SRF-M37W.

I have been trying out some new software on my QS1R SDR and have found the
results to be quite good. I currently am running the receiver using several
different software packages, including the SDRMAXII that comes with the QS1R.

are directional eastward over Boston, so I would not expect a lot of

It sounds like WCRN was on day pattern a bit late as, you are correct, their
night pattern has a severe null to the west to protect WCCO.

Tom there's a raft of tiny digital recorders available. The Sony 820 you

lift files directly to the computer.
Olympus also has a very good machine...the VN-8100PC (again, PC means it has

On the high end of the scale, I recommend the Sony PCM-D50 which I've

I have a Sony ICD-UX70. I've used it occasionally to record from an Ultralight,
somewhat more often recording via mike input from the car radio. In terms of
recording audio either way, it works very well.
My biggest complaint is that because it runs on a single AAA battery, it eats
them up.
