class=\"wp-caption-text\">L87 Voice Recorder (Source:\u00a0 Amazon)<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Introduction<\/h2>\n<p>Whenever I read a radio product review, the author invariably says whether the device has a line-out port.\u00a0 This seems to say a lot about the importance attached to this feature by a great number of our fellow radio enthusiasts.\u00a0 Besides audio recording, the port can be used for computer processing of facsimile and teletype signals.\u00a0 For basic recording, it seems to boil down to three purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to provide a permanent archive of some things we have heard,<\/li>\n<li>to replay portions of a weak signal to determine its identity, or<\/li>\n<li>to share our catches with fellow enthusiasts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There was a time before cassettes (BC) when I used a mini reel-to-reel tape deck to record radio broadcasts.\u00a0 This was not much bigger than a cigar box.\u00a0 It used 3-inch magnetic tape reels.\u00a0 There was no capstan.\u00a0 The take-up and supply reels rotated at constant speeds to provide tape motion for recording and rewinding.\u00a0 Thus, the tape would gradually accelerate past the heads as the diameter of the take-up reel increased.\u00a0 Consequently, a recorded tape did not travel at a constant speed and could only be played on the original recorder.\u00a0 I never used it much, and when it stopped working, I never bothered to replace it.<\/p>\n<p>This winter I seem to be focused once again on medium wave DXing, and I began to think a recorder would be useful to help identify stations.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t get much of a consensus as to what recorders other hobbyists were using, so I went on the Internet to explore the market.\u00a0 Long story short, I wound up with an unbranded voice recorder.\u00a0 Neither the hardware nor the manual gives much of a clue as to who made it.\u00a0 The state of today\u2019s small electronics market is replete with anonymous items.\u00a0 Anyway, the price was reasonable, and I have it.<\/p>\n<p>There are probably a dozen or more equally capable recorders currently available, including those from Sony.\u00a0 So, this is not a model versus model comparison, but rather an enumeration of salient features of the Model L87 Voice Recorder and a conclusion as to its usefulness as an accessory for radio listening.<\/p>\n<p>My recorder is marketed by <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3T4uW2M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> <em>[affiliate link]<\/em> under the brand name of \u201cG\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/gtoptc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/gtoptc.com\/<\/a>).\u00a0 It has 8 GB of system storage and 64 GB on a removable SD (TF) card.\u00a0 If you Google \u201cL87 Voice Recorder\u201d you will see that Amazon, Walmart, and eBay sell, what are by all appearances, identical recorders with greater or lesser system memory and different size SD cards.\u00a0 Some include an external microphone.<\/p>\n<h2>Description<\/h2>\n<p>To say the voice recording industry has come a long way since my reel-to-reel experience is an understatement.\u00a0 Digital media, miniaturization, and functionality pretty much sum up the improvements.<\/p>\n<p>This device is billed as a <i>voice<\/i> <i>recorder<\/i>.\u00a0 It is intended to be used in dictation or brought into a classroom, conference, or other meeting to gather an audible transcription of the proceedings.\u00a0 Attaching it to the line-out jack of a radio is not an application that is listed in the promotional literature.\u00a0 So, in selecting a device a radio enthusiast must be assured that line-in capability is available.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there is a matter of compatibility.\u00a0 The L87 voice recorder works very well with the Eton Elite Executive, Tecsun PL-880, Sony ICF-SW7600GR and Grundig Satellit 800.\u00a0 The recorder was tested on a Sony ICF-2010 and did not work.\u00a0 Apparently, the 2010s were designed to operate with older recorders having high-impedance microphone inputs.<\/p>\n<h2>Specifics<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Memory \u2013 built-in system 8 GB, plus an included 64-GB SD (TF) card, 72 GB total.\u00a0 This we are told will produce 3,343 hours of recording at 32 kbps.<\/li>\n<li>Battery \u2013 500 mAh rechargeable lithium ion, having up to 13 hours continuous recording at 512\u00a0kbps, and 24 hours of playback with earphones.<\/li>\n<li>File formats \u2013 Recording:\u00a0 WAV or MP3; or it can act as a player for any uploaded MP3, WAV, FLAC, APE, OGG, or WMA file.<\/li>\n<li>Recording bit rates \u2013 for WAV:\u00a0 512, 768, 1024, or 1536 kbps; for MP3:\u00a0 32, 64, 128, or 192 kbps.<\/li>\n<li>Gain settings \u2013 seven.<\/li>\n<li>Voice activation \u2013 auto recording begins once the sound reaches a settable decibel level and stops when there is no sound.\u00a0 Probably of minimal use for the radio monitoring purpose.<\/li>\n<li>File management \u2013 files are named with a time stamp (year, month, day, hour, seconds).<\/li>\n<li>Optional password protection.<\/li>\n<li>A-B repeat function \u2013 a portion of recording can be blocked for repetition.\u00a0 The A and B start-stop points do not alter the file and disappear when the file is closed.<\/li>\n<li>Physical \u2013 dimensions:\u00a0 4.13 inches long \u00d7 1.06 inches wide, \u00d7 0.39 inch thick; weight:\u00a0 2.8\u00a0ounces.<\/li>\n<li>Numerous other recording settings, including those for noise reduction.<\/li>\n<li>First available \u2013 April 26, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Website \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/gtoptc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/gtoptc.com\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Being quite small, ergonomics is a consideration, and may take some practice.\u00a0 As I am right-handed, I unexpectedly realized that I grabbed this little device in my left hand, like a cell phone.\u00a0 That leaves my right hand free to press buttons, but I also tend to operate the controls with my left hand.\u00a0 Like many small travel radios, many buttons are dual purpose, and one must get used to short presses, long presses, and correct button sequences.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of complexity, a change in volume requires a quick press of the VOL button, then repeated presses of the up\/down buttons to arrive at the desired level.\u00a0 Fast forward and rewind are somewhat problematic.\u00a0 A short press of either button will quit the file you are listening to and queue up the preceding or next file, while a long press will incrementally rewind or fast forward the file you are listening to.<\/p>\n<p>As it is marketed, this is a \u201cvoice recorder.\u201d\u00a0 It provides a line-in capability, but you will have to supply your own stereo patch cord.\u00a0 Once programmed to line-in, you will not have to reset it when making follow-on recordings.\u00a0 Although it comes with an internal speaker, you can also swap out the patch cord with earphones for playback without changing any settings.\u00a0 Just to try it out, I used the built-in microphones to record a radio at normal volume.\u00a0 While the recording was acceptable, it was prone to any noise produced in the room or pressing recorder buttons.<\/p>\n<p><a

storage capacity will not likely be a problem, as this device will continue to operate for many hours when properly prepared for use.<\/p>\n<p>The device records in stereo, which likely doubles the file size for our purpose of generally needing only monaural recording.\u00a0 I have not found a way to change it.\u00a0 On the other hand, I recorded some classical music content from a local stereo FM station and connected the recorder to a nice set of shelf speakers for playback.\u00a0 The sound quality of the MP3 file at 128 kbps was excellent, at least to my ears.<\/p>\n<p>The display is quite small, but very sharp and colorful showing essential information such as file name, time, file format, bit rate, and volume setting.<\/p>\n<p>File management is neither intuitive nor very versatile.\u00a0 I could not find a way to create new folders or move files using the recorder.\u00a0 Connecting the recorder to the computer, I could create new folders which were recognized in the recorder\u2019s folder function, but the display would indicate an incompatible format when I tried to save a new file to the computer-created folders.\u00a0 The recorder would however play prerecorded files transferred to the new folder by the computer.\u00a0 Lesson:\u00a0 just stick with the basic file functionality and save the manipulations for the computer.<\/p>\n<p>The recorder comes with a USB-C cable which is used to recharge the battery and transfer files to or from a computer.\u00a0 Or, if the included SD card is used for storage, it can be removed and used on the computer for file transfer.<\/p>\n<p>As a retired technical writer, I tend to be quite critical of user manuals that come with appliances and electronic gear.\u00a0 This one is only fair \u2013 no better or worse than most others I have come across recently.\u00a0 We\u2019re not just talking picky grammar issues here.\u00a0 Some explanations are entirely missing, for example how to properly set the recorder input gain.<\/p>\n<h2>File Processing<\/h2>\n<p>A few years ago, I used an open-source audio file processing program called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audacityteam.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Audacity<\/a> to digitize our collection of vinyl and tapes.\u00a0 Such applications serve as a quick way to process or edit the recorder files, for example, trimming the files to a desired size or normalizing their amplitude.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In retrospect, there are some things I should have recorded off the radio back in the \u201860s and \u201870s.\u00a0 But the fact that I\u2019ve enjoyed the radio hobby without a recorder all these years probably does not qualify it as essential equipment in my radio shack.\u00a0 Useful?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 If you are interested in recording from your radio, and are a frequent traveler, these recorders are convenient, requiring very little space in the bag.\u00a0 Because of its small size, hand dexterity and attentive thought processes must be developed to use it effectively.\u00a0 This recorder has amazing capability, is well constructed, and appears to work as intended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
