Hello,
The recorder is ripe for easy improvement. A little better microphone
and/or a microphone jack. Software or firmware changes to allow adjustment
of sample rates should add no cost. Possibly a relocation of the Microphone
could improve quality without a major change. I cannot identify the reason
for the poor recording quality. Under certain conditions, the recordings
are nearly acceptable, but there is no real way to control these
environmental variables.
I love the Book Port. It is so well engineered, I cannot understand the
poor recorder.

If you want fairly good recordings, buy an Olympas recorder. Or if
you want top-notch digital recordings, then try the Edirol R09.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A .
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are
plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me
in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14 I will be found by
you," says the Lord.
