I've had a FR2-LE for about 18 months and it's the only recorder I've ever owned that I can't make successful recordings with. It's a Busman job, but I'm sure the problem has nothing to do with his work. It sounds like maybe I can't find the proper CF card to use. I am recording at 24/44.1 and have used cards including a Hitachi Microdrive and currently an 8 gig "Speedy" A Data card that I thought were supposed to be OK with the machine.
Have just PM'd Busman about this, but am looking for other ideas as well.
On almost every recording, I get spots like this in my files maybe as much as 40 times in 60 minutes (several times none in the first 15 minutes or so & then it started happening).
The 2 times I used a 48 volt phantom mic, I don't remember it happening, but it may have happened a bit & I may have corrected it in post. It always happens with various mini mics with 2 different phantom adapters and also happened when I tested with a ST-9100 into line in.
This is incredibly frustrating. I don't really need it (have other recorders that I can use fine) but I can't even put it up for sale unless I find out whether something is wrong with it or it is just a card problem.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Can't respond to anyone until tomorrow-about to leave on a day trip.
