  • PRIMER on USING an MP3 RECORDER for DX-ING (C) Bjarne Mjelde
    PRIMER ON USING AN MP3 RECORDER FOR DX-ING (c) Bjarne Mjelde Recording DX has come a long way since I started DX-ing in the early 70's. Tape recording was the only possible way in those days; I started off with a cassette player. Not until the late 90's did other media begin to gain ground, especially so the Minidisc-recorder. It is still popular with DX-ers, especially after having evolved into the Hi-MD format which permits quick upload to PC's. Recording directly to the PC is also common and programs for that purpose have been evaluated elsewhere on this site. But recording to a PC requires – a PC. Which is not always possible, or desired, for reasons like space, transport/weight, RFI etc. So what about those small gadgets we have seen evolve over the last few years, the MP3 players? Some of them actually have the option of analogue recording through a dedicated line input. The thought of using an MP3 player (or more correctly a player/recorder but I will use the term MP3 player in the following) has matured for some time, until I decided to buy one and see if it could work. Recording DX has one vital requirement: The recording device must have the ability to start recording on the fly. No menu-choices, no pre-titleing of file names, no auto-shutdown. And the device needs sufficient capacity for the DX session. Running out of space as DX gets hot is the typical example of a bad setting.
