Topband: Recording Off the Air

[john at kk9a.com]

I use a Sony ICD-UX560 Its MP3 files names are just numbers with an  
underscore which are easy to transfer to a PC. It is a tiny 2oz device  
that takes almost no operating space and it works quite well.

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,
