I occasionally use mains power. For example, I occasionally set up my
744T (using timed record) to record the dawn chorus outside my house,
but want to get up somewhat after dawn. This requires me to use mains
power because none of my batteries will last all night, even in stand-
by mode.

The only problem I have had with this is AC (60 Hz) hum. It seems to
depend which outlet I plug into. Or perhaps it is the routing of the
extension cord. Anyway, I always need to check the setup for hum
before I leave it. Once I eliminate the hum, it works just fine.
