Hi Rob,
I missed the "file size limit and stop" part when I skimmed the LS-10
manual. It's too bad the FR2-LE has the same shortcoming.
I want something fairly lightweight that's easy to take backpacking,
will provide PIP, and record continuous through the night and the dawn
chorus while I sleep.
Though I guess a recording trip isn't really a recording trip without
the delirium of sleep deprivation, is it?
