Hi Alan Each to their own, a very subjective topic, but I personally wouldn't rate the audio quality for recording on the Penfriend as that hot. |Yes it is a good device, and I have used ours extensively for labelling, but I wouldn't really rate the quality on it for someone who has a hearing difficulty as Andy has for taking messages. Just a thought. Perhaps the DM5 or cheaper Olympus would be more suited to you Andy as the recordings on those are very good indeed.

I don't want to pay hundreds of pound for loads of bells and whistles, just want a simple instantly recording device.
