Mine didn't do much outside of Australia, although it did make a wonderful 
recording of howler monkeys in Manu National Park, Peru. I must try to dig that 
recording out of my storage locker, and then find a cassette deck with Dolby C. 
If I'm lucky, I *might* be able to resurrect it.

The recordings did sound surprisingly good, which is what I was implying about 
it being very 'forgiving'. But I am not sure how they'd stand up to my 
standards today. Back then I was also very forgiving of the equipment because 
that's how you had to be with analogue IMHO...

Nah... give me digital any day! Thanks anyway. ;-)
