Oryoki,
The H-2 manual indicates that it will use the SDHC cards but I find little =
information about the speed class. Do you think the speed class would be a=
n issue? The slower cards are much cheaper. I have a unit and looking for=
a 4gb card.

Here are a few notes I didn't include in last night's writeup.
Two AA alkaline batteries last about 6 hours, enough time to record
Message: 3.
Subject: 8GB of tracks at 16/44.1. That's a good fit with a 4GB SD card.
When the size of the file created by a continuous recording approaches
2GB, the file is automatically saved. A new file is opened and
recording continues. I have not determined if the split is seamless,
meaning no samples are lost during the process of closing one file and
opening another.
The H2 shut down gracefully when the batteries were depleted, and
properly closed the file it was creating.
To record longer than 6 hours, you'll need NiMH rechargeable batteries
with a high mAh rating. Or you can use an external battery box. The
H2 has a mini-USB port, but I couldn't use it to power the recorder.
The H2's mains power adapter supplies 9V DC, so I think a battery box
that produces 9V would work.
Monaural input is recorded by the left channel. When "Mono Mix"
setting is selected, Mono input is recorded on both left and right
channels. Regardless of setting, Mono consumes as much space on the SD
card as stereo.
The door covering the SD slot doesn't swing away far enough to allow
easy removal of the SD card. Careful application of a long fingernail
or tweezers is necessary to pry the card from the recorder.
