Nick
glad to hear you are so stoked on  this deck!

I am stronngly considering one as my all in one box

probably get a busman mod

wondering if
anyone ever uses the limiter for acoustic shows where  the crowds louder between songs than the music?

also
where is the best place to get a good high MAH 7.2v RC battery and charger?


peace

This seems like a troublesome solution for that problem.  Since it's menu driven setup, you'd have to have the limiter on for the whole performance which could interfere with the music side of the project.  Unfortunately I still think doing this in post would be a better choice.

Now I have used a limiter in the past at Bluegrass festivals with unattended gear after getting a good ballpark signal just in case someone joins in and fools the engineer.

oh ok did not realize it was a menu set up deal...
and was wondering if it was a nice limiter, but
your point is well taken
Post is usually easier to dial things in

He means this place:
http://www.thomas-distributing.com/index.htm

They offer great prices on lots of stuff...

that said, when I owned a FR-2LE I bought a couple batteries and a charger here:

Hope that helps  :)

Would anyone know where to buy a car charger to charge the 7.2 4200mAh batteries described in the post above this one?  Thinking of picking one up for Langerado in case I cannot find AC power anywhere.
