Hi folks. I have a question. I'm pretty sure nothing can be done about this, but I would at least like to know why this is occurring. When I am in a vehicle, be it a bus or whatever, and I atempt to record a memo, I have to get extremely close to the built-in mic because otherwise the noise of the bus overloads the BP and makes me non-understandable. Why does the bookport overload so easily? Devices such as a micro casette recorder have no problem with background noise, it lets it coexist. The BP can't seem to do this. Any explanations?
