I have developed a bad habit.. lol. I use Zoom H1 handheld digital recorder
when DXing to record all my catches. It's compact and fits in my pants
pocket, which keeps it warm and keeps the batteries from running down
quickly in the extreme cold. It's also SIMPLE and does exactly what I need
without alot of bells and whistles.
It' also runs on 1.. ONE AA battery, unlike other recorders that take 2 or
3 AA's or AAA's.
Well, what I've been doing is.. whenever one pops up on Ebay in good shape
and fully functional with no parts missing... I buy it if I can get a good
deal on it. I have 5 of them right now.
It's like transmitter or console parts that become unobtanium.. Zoom
doesn't make this anymore that I can tell. So I'm buying as many as I can
get my hands on. Some retailers might still have new units, but I can't
afford to buy them new for $ 99 if I want to build up a big supply of them
If you have one in good to excellent shape and will let it go cheap or
relatively inexpensively.. I'll buy it! I don't need any accessories with
it, none. I'll take just the recorder!
