Hi Angie,

I got your email, but your message is somehow connected to Peter Shute as y=
ou can see bellow! Can you please send me the email again so I can respond =
if I need to.

See you tomorrow.

Munir.

the detector plugged into Line In of the M10, and the microphone simultaneo=
usly plugged into the mic jack, and it recorded from both. Is that the usua=
l thing with recorders that you can do that? So it appears all I have to do=
 is wire up the microphone so it only feeds the right track, as the mono so=
cket I fitted to the bat detector is already feeding that only to the left.=

The schematics run the gamut from simple voltage dividers to transformers t=
