Peter,
I see from my database that I was able to record a Gould's Wattled Bat
and Southern Freetail Bat (both around 30 kHz call), quite
satisfactorily, using Olympus LS10 at 96 kHz, and a Telinga stereo
mic. (The Telinga uses electret capsules but I don't know which
ones). I'm sure I tried the EM172s and that they worked too, but I
can't easily find an example. I'm a bit rusty on bats, haven't
recorded any for a little while :-) Whatever you've got, just try it,
you will get something for sure.
