Hello Esther and all: I cannot resist :).
With write-ups such as this, FiRe 2 field recorder will sell like hotcakes and the developer might have to put you on the payroll :). And this being written by someone who has not used the product :). Wonderful information as usual. Will save this one to my email folder so I do not have to search the archives :). Take good care and I wish you enough.
