New recorder question

[earthshaker77]

Because of some purchases earlier this year, I managed to get a $90 coupon =
from an online camera retailer. I wanted to see what I could get for less t=
han the coupon value in a field recorder. I ordered the Tascam DR-05, had i=
t shipped to me for a grand total of $0.00. This morning I went out to a fa=
vorite spot to do some recording.=0D
As I was reviewing the recording, I noticed a constant noise floor, there w=
as a little wind bot nothing serious I thought. I set up the recorder for a=
n average of -20dB,based on an article I read, but I didn't set the low cut=
 filter. Any suggestions to get better results with this recorder?=0D
