The timecode feature is an option, cost unspecified. Fostex's web
pages claim that they invented timecode sync.  I think the case is 4
inches high to leave room for the timecode plug-in card.  If you
don't purchase the timecode card, then you have a nice warm place to
keep a sandwich :-)

The size and weight of the FR-2 compromise it for field use. And
using only 4 AA cells for power, a 2 hour runtime strikes me as very
optimistic.
