I don't want to have get wired up and unwired every time I go out. It does sound like it would have the best weather protection though.Is voice activation reliable? I thought of doing it that way, because some of the tiny USB sized recorders which don't have a pause button, do have voice activation. But I was worried that it might not trigger, causing me to lose notes, or might be triggered by wind or background noise, giving me extra footage to have to listen to later.I've order a cheap recorder like the one being discussed here:<a href="http://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3091848&postcount=69" target="_blank">http://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3091848&postcount=69</a>If that recorder works out ok, I'll let you know. I might also try one of the tiny voice activated recorders too if this one ends up being too big to carry the way I want to.</blockquote>
