Topband: Recording Off the Air

[Steve Maki]

There was one comment on Amazon complaining about the file naming by 
this recorder - that after some number of 1 hour files, characters not 
allowed by Windows started appearing in new file names (<, ?, etc.).

That would be a fatal flaw of course.

What do the file names look like in your experience when you plug the SD 
card into a PC? Easily identifiable by hour? Have you tried recording 
for 48 hours?

Thanks,
