Hi list, I just tried to find information on this recorder online and was 
frustrated.  Could get the manual but Adobe reader wants me now to log in 
for some reason.   I wouldn't do it.  Also asked about pocketrak PR7 
accessibility features and  got nowhere.  So, if anyone has any knowledge 
about this small unit that seems to cost around $129, please let me, us 
know.  Thanks, Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Yamaha Pocketrak?

Hi list, just wondering if anyone on this list has any experiemce with a
small digital recorder called the Pocketrak.  It is about five inches long,
kind of feels like an Olympus.  It has an interesting XY mic configuration
that presumably gives you great stereo imaging.  It has supposedly gotten
good reviews from musicians, Colin and others, what you think??  Also,am
curious if they are blind friendly.  73, Jim WA6EKS> I was working a bit of
