Hello all,
is someone experienced with the low cost recorders (LCRs) from the Shenzhen Hnsat chinese company for bird sound recording?
I would give a try to the UR-09, a mini usb flash drive model, but it is not distributed by national - continental importers, as far as i know, so one has to order directly to the producing company.
Thank you for advice

Hi saxatilis,
the various documents I find from the net say that it records in wav at 128kbps. (some give higher numbers 192kbps). Well, with that sampling rate it is not wav, but could be mps or some other format. It claims to be a voice and my opinion not worth putting your money in it.

UK Amazon has quite a number of similar sounding devices with a range of specifications/claims,

being typical. I don't know what the relative cost of postage from various sources would be however or if you have a specific reason for picking the Shenzhen Hnsat model.

thank you for the tip. I see that a lot of clones are on the market.
I had not done much research on other types of LCRs, the UR-09 being the only I got acquainted with.
