I ran a crude test here using common mic and noise source.  I couldn't see
any difference.

As he prepared to do the test, Alan discovered that the RH-10's mic 
sensitivity was set to "Low." The record gain is very close for the 
two units. I recently had several normal NH900 settings change at 
once which I suspect was from leaving the unit without a battery for 
several  days.  Rob D.
