Bob, it's not much larger than a cell phone.  I got it about 4 
years ago when I retired and I don't know who sells them because 
I got it from Rehab.  You could look it up on Amazon or google I 
bet and I think they cost around $350 or did then, but not sure 
of the cost.  All the buttons have speech output so it's easy to 
set up your recording mode, get a pretty good idea if your level 
is correct, get file lengths and battery status and much more.  
Am listening now on 7.189 if you want to try that, Jim WA6EKS
