Re: technology choices for gathering ambient nature noise

["Graham Evans"]

Rob,

I am convinced by the wisdom of what you're saying.  The low prices for
these units do give me an opportunity to do something really interesting.

 From what I am reading the MZ-NH700 would also fit the purpose.  It
isn't like I want three AM/FM radios (or even one).  They are only very
slightly cheaper than the NHF800's but possibly more available.
Unfortunately I can't see any suppliers for the Rolls PB224 unit in oz
so I will have to ship.

I wonder if there are any Australians here who have found a local online
dealer for such minor bits and pieces as XLR ports/Y-stereo-mini
converter leads, stands and other things used in these rigs?

Anyway thanks Rob for taking the time to convince me.  I will do some
more research and ask advice here again on the other aspects of the
ambient rig.

Graham
