RE: [HCDX] Question about Minidisc recorders

[Brett Saylor <bds2@xxxxxxx>]

Max,

I'd add to the list a Sony MZ-R37 portable recorder; I've used one for 
several years and had zero interference on either portable or tabletop 
radios. I've seen it for as little as US$30 on online auctions. Battery 
life is limited, thought, so I use a wall charger for continuous use.

73,
