seems to indicate it does, and a quick trial this morning shows that
a 18k+680R + 330R does indeed set the deck into record-pause mode
from a cold start, which is nice. However, what stiffs that for my
application is the automatic setting of AGC - I still can't navigate
the menus, and a RH1 is a little bit too expensive to leave in the
woods (the RH1 doesn't default to AGC).

AGC doesn't seem to trouble the froglogger guy though. I wouldn't use
relays myself, but otherwise his design seems to fit the bill.
