For a travel recorder, I use a small consumer minidisc recorder (sony 
MZ-R37).  It powers on 2 AA batteries, but requires more voltage than 
NiMH can provide.  The machine auto-shutoff voltage is at the top 
10-15% of the NiMH's discharge curve.  They run it for about 10 
minutes.

I end up using rechargeable alkalines or standard alkalines.  The 
rechargeable ones are so-so after a few charge cycles, and I end up 
sending lots of Alkalines on a one-way trip.

Is anybody aware of higher-voltage NiMH cells in AA?

Walt: I noticed your mention of a NiMH replacement 9-volt which 
delivers equivalent voltage to alkaline - this gives me hope!

Thanks to the list for all the good tech info - what a fantastic list.

Subject: URGENT request for Pygmy-Owl calls!

Dear fellow recordists,

I am at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica right now, and I'm in URGENT
need of recordings for the three species of Pygmy-Owls (Least, G.
minutissimum; Andean, G. jardinii; and Ferruginous, G. brasilianum). This is
for a 5-day resarch project on mobbing to be started as soon as tomorrow
(gasp!) if possible. It came as a bit of a surprise that there are no
recordings of Costa Rican birds I can easily access here. I'm wondering if
anyone happens to have a short recording (enough to make a looped tape) of the
three species that you can e-mail to me? OTS may be able to pay you if you
require compensation. The calls are preferably recorded in Costa Rica but
anywhere in Central America is fine. Alternatively, can anyone possibly make a
short recording from a CD for me?

Please contact me privately if you can help. Thanks!!!

Cheers,


Wayne Hsu
