Thank you for the response. I will be using it mostly as an additional 
recorder for the line-out of various bat detectors. But, I was also 
hoping to do some novice-level recording of some birds, bees, cicadas 
and nighthawks. I was planning on using the built in mics and a new 
ATR55 shotgun mic that I purchased (for $50).

Thanks,

Al
