Hello Chris

The link at Topic 13 from Stewart Ford could be a very useful one for you to 
put up on Bird-O It contains a lot of useful information about recording 
equipment. 

The response to recording bird calls on birding-aus has been very good - I will 
draw from this as well as incorporating my own thoughts when I prepare the note 
you requested for Bird-O I will probably need to do several as it would be 
rather long winded and rambling if i try to do it as one.

We head off on our two month trip on Friday.

Cheers

Dave
