Daveed, you probably run your unit longer than I do. My field recordings are in buildings where I can set the unit down. but someone who is fairly clever could perhaps sew one out of a heavy canvas or denim with the kinds of holes and open spaces you would need for your plug-ins and your cf cards.
Yes, there is absolutely no whirring when the unit is recording to CF cards.Perhaps a nice seamstress would create the right kind of case for you with a good sturdy webbed handle that could go over the neck and be adjustable for you.
If I could, I surely would. Best, Penny At 06:39 PM 5/21/2007, you wrote:
Well, it really doesn't matter which company produces the case. The problem is that the unit tends to overheat. I wonder if that would not be the case, though, if one is using compact flash memory cards, since they require far less power to run. I have written EPI accordingly.--Daveed--At 04:35 PM 5/21/2007, you wrote:Daveed, Is there a possibility that a different company could make such a case; or that you might get one custom-made by a friend?Best, Penny At 06:33 PM 5/21/2007, you wrote:I was rather upset to receive the enclosed message from Executive Products, Inc., re the possibility of a form-fitting case for the PTR2.

Please write to the contacts on the plextalk site, asking them to fix the ventilation problems posthaste and provide a form-fitting case with shoulder strap for those of us who very much need to operate the PTR1 and PTR2 units in the field.Thanks. --Daveed--X-Apparently-To: daveedm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx via 66.163.179.1; Mon, 21 May 2007 14:07:17 -0700X-Originating-IP: [66.203.93.71]Authentication-Results: mta135.sbc.mail.re3.yahoo.com from=executiveproductsinc.com; domainkeys=neutral (no sig)X-Originating-IP: [66.203.93.71] From: "Brian J.

I will personally keep you informed of our progress with its development.Warm regards, Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:daveedm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Daveed Mandell To: <mailto:customer_care@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Customer Care Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 8:52 PM Subject: Enquiry from Executive Products Inc.I am a blind radio journalist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Have you heard of a digital recorder sold to many visually impaired people around the world by Plextor called the Plextalk PTR2? It badly needs a form-fitting case and shoulder strap, so it can be operated in the field--either to record or playback material. There is no provision for a strap to be hooked directly to the unit, and the sfot case now provided isn't meant to allow operation of the recorder. If you are interested in purusing this, you might contact the product manufacturers atwww,plextalk.com Thanks so much for your serious consideration. --Sincerely, --Daveed Mandell-- No virus found in this incoming message.
