MessageDear Frank,
Thanks loads. I am going to get a 512 card, and think that should give me
plenty of time. I ordered it from e-cost, and will try to get the Kingston
adaptor you mentioned from there also. Many thank yous!
Bill

Bill,
Radio shack can sell you what you need but they may not be able to assist you
to select what you need. IRTI will select and sell the proper adapter and the
memory together. I do not think you will pay any more than at radio shack. If
you want to save a significant amount you can purchase on the web but then you
really need to know what you are doing.
I started out with a 1 gb flash and could record for 90 hours continuously.
If I was will ing to sacrifice sound quality at 16 I could have recorded for
180 hours continuously. If you purchase a 2 Gb flash just double these
numbers. Keep in mind that if you limit the size of the resulting file to
around 650 mb you will be able to back it up on to a 20 cent Cr. If you create
a file any larger you will have to either back it up on to a laptop hard drive
for archiving or just have to eventually delete it. I think that 650 mb should
translate to about 50 hours at 32 or 100 hours at 16 but I have not done the
math.

Subject: compact flash card
Dear List,
I just purchased a ptr1 a couple months ago from a user, and I haven't done
much with it yet. I would like to be able to record with as much time as
possible, and am told I should purchase a compact flash card. I am very much a
novice, and readily admit that I don't know the first thing about what I'm
buying. I am wondering if I should get a 1 gig, 2 gig or what, and will the
ptr1 support either just fine? Someone had said something or other about maybe
having to buy an adapter. I don't know what they ment, or why I would need to,
or even if I would need to. Radio shack tells me they sell compact flash
cards, and I'm hoping I can get it there. I would very, very much appreciate
your help and guidance.
