This is not exactly what you want but it is what I use for checking
speaker systems to determine if they can handle the type of natural
sounds that I record. Not so technical but after hearing exspensive
speaker systems puke on simple wildlife sound I had to toss something
together.

Hello all,
First of all I would like let you all know that I have been learning a
whole lot about recording and transferring them to computers etc. by
reading the posts to this list and I thank you very much for sharing your
knowledge. Though I have not started doing these myself yet, but I am
getting ideas as to what should be my future plans. But when I am really
getting started I will come to the list for advice. This is the first ever
list digest, in which I read most of the postings.
Talking about taking recording and other equipments- Since September 11, I
have travelled a whole lot. I actually went to Japan just after 23 days of
September 11. So I was most worried, plus not a US citizen. But I have had
always unexpected experiences. I carry, scopes, tripod, binoculars cameras
and other accessories and last trip I carried sound equipment too. On the
way to Japan, in Syracuse airport the woman looked at my equipment and said
"Oh you are a birdwatcher, I know you, go" . So I don't know if she really
knew me or she knew generally what birdwatchers were I have no idea. In
Singapore airport, my small penknife was taken away but nobody bothered
about my other equipments, even in India, which was a surprise. Even in
Germany, Amsterdam (though they asked me 10 minutes security questions,
which they asked each and every passenger), Domonican Republic etc nobody
bothered, But yes in Dominican Republic, they wanted me to make sure that
there are no batteries in my equipments that I am taking on board.
Fortunately, I had already removed them as they were dead. On Mexico trip I
was worried about the PVC pipe which housed ME-67. But no questions were
asked in any airports, as I had to recheck my baggages at airport changes.
Only at US customs, on my return, the man wanted to see all I have in my
bag. First of all I told him that my backpack contains mainly unwashed
clothes. Then I started showing my equipments. So he asked me if I was
naturalist and scientist. I said that he guessed right. Then he let me go
without any further inspections.
Ok what is my point in writing all these. Well, as Marty Michner wrote, I
think these people should become aware about what are these kinds of
equipments and why are they used. If they see many people carrying such
equipments, then they become familiarized with them. You can ship stuffs
within US which is safer method, but if you are travelling all over the
world, it is not one of the best options. You may plan two weeks trip to
Japan and your equipment may arrive the day you are leaving. So I would
vote for making security people aware of uses of these equipments.
Also as Rich Peet wrote, all the equipments we carry, and if we know
physics and chemistry of course one can cause enough damage to the world.
Especially the batteries which are basically power suppliers. But that is
not our intention!
Also, some people wrote about going "as family" well, I guess I have some
advantage of travelling as a woman, though it is not good idea to wear
hiking boots, as they want you to remove them and pass through the X-ray
machine!
