i have had a lot of problems with DAT in tropical countries in the
past and anything that tips over 90% humidity. i even know someone
who actually had to "splice" a dat tape because of mold!
maybe it is time for you to pick up one of the excellent 7* series
recorders... i have used these recorders in 100% humidity and down to
-30f. Great machines.....
