Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who notes that he has updated his Sangean DAR-101 recorder:<\/p>\n

Yes, a newly tested (latest production) sample of the [DAR-101]. My years old \u201clightly used\u201d sample died back in the fall. New one seems to work less sluggish with the updated firmware as well as adding monitor speaker selection in the menu\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The AC Adapter info should also be valid for the ATS-909X as well.<\/p>\n

Nice standalone MP3 recorder with a built in amplifier and large speaker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Dave.\u00a0 This is a very tempting purchase. I do quite a lot of off-air recordings for the SWLing Post<\/em> and, especially, the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>. I typically use my Zoom H2N for line-in recordings, but at home would prefer something that would sit on my desktop better and with a built-in speaker. The DAR-101 might fit the bill.<\/p>\n

I see that it’s currently $81.52 on Amazon right now<\/a> (affiliate link) and $99.95 at Universal Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
