Daveed, I use a Sandisk 4 Gigabyte flash card in the PTR2 without any
problems. I think somebody wrote in another list, that he uses an eight
gb card in the Plextalk. So there doesn't seem to be any size limit.

I once recorded a very long file in PCM on the Plextalk. It didn't stop
at 2 gigabytes, if I remember correctly. So I believe, that you can
record PCM Wave files of up to 4 gigabytes in the PTR2. 4 gigs is the
size limit for a file in the FAT32 file system, which the PTR2 uses.
However, there are some programs, which will only open Wave files with a
size of up to two gigabytes. Sound Forge might have this limitations,
when you try to open a Wave file larger than two gigabytes on a FAT32
partition. In any case, you should have no problems with 4 gigabyte CF cards
from Sandisk.
