About the cell phone interference...
Sometimes, at 3-day outdoor festivals I don't use my SBM1 because it would simply need too many batteries which I don't want to carry all day. I found that when I don't use the SBM1, almost all of my recordings have cell phone interference at one or more spots. However, I've never had any problems *with* the SBM1. So, my guess is that the interference happens during the A/D conversion.

Another funny thing: I just came back from a festival in Belgium and during a show, you could clearly hear some cell phone interference over the PA. Seems like portable DATs are not the only devices that have problems with it

I know Spinal Tap had this problem when they played at an Air Force base once but that was back in the 80's

Nice.  of course that was the fateful gig during which nigel walked out in the middle of sex farm

Not to threadjack - but I seem to remember this happening to Hendrix, I think at Berkeley???  Hey Joe methinks...  I'll have to go back and listen to the cd.

i used to get radio stations from my wha-wha pedal when i used certain cables. 

i think the interference comes into the systems through cables and not on the actual devices.

[udovdh]

I never ever had interference.
(and I use a battery box without box...)
I just turn off my own phone and that's it.

cables are great antennas

It helps, but don't forgot everyone else has their phones on...

exactly.  the only interference i get has to be from other phones.  my girlfriend gets annoyed when i tell her to turn her's off if she is going to be near my rig at a show.

I keep mine in my pocket so its not in my gear.  I guess the reason I brought it up was that I didn't know if it was because of the DAT deck or something else.  Hopefully its the DAT heads (no pun intended) and not something else.  Hoping that this will not be an issue with solidstate recording.

Got this in my email today....you can take from it what you want

We just heard from M-Audio that MicroTrack 24/96 will first ship during the
4th week of September.

This is now the second report of shipping be pushed till the end of September.

After reading this yesterday, I emailed the online vendor I pre-ordered my Microtrack from, DJaudio.com and told them about the email Core Sound had sent out regarding the new late September ship date.  The sales rep at DJaudio just replied back to me.  She contacted her rep at M-Audio this morning and was told their first shipment of Microtracks was still scheduled to go out on September 1st.   Could it just be some vendors are having their initial shipments delayed while others are still getting theirs in early September?

On a serious note, I think Len is just trying to squeeze one more month of life cycle out of his own product.   He obviously must have a core group of customers that have been with him for awhile so this comes as no suprise. 

What did you end up paying at djaudio?  Did it include free shipping?  Website?   I keep updating page one of this thread with vendors and info.
