On Sunday afternoon this dealer had the FR-2LE for $409 bin with $9.99 shipping.  There were four left when it expired. MSTaper

i got mine for 405 shipped and he flat out told me fostex got on his case and he would no longer be listing them so cheap (but since i saw the listing before he took it down he would honor it)
the next day he posted some for 455
in the mean time a few times he has but only for like 3 days auctions

I got a surprise today! My FR-2LE arrived today via FedEx. I never received a tracking number, which is why I was surprised when it arrived today! Everything is fine and he tossed in a Fostex bag with clear panels on the front and side and panels for XLR access. Not bad for $409. I was also amazed that shipping was only $9.99! Normally these NYC dealers nail you on shipping. Honestly, I lucked into this doing some cold searches on eBay Sunday morning and found a used FR-2LE for around $300 with some time to go and saw the new one for $409. The dealer's ID was "New Items Only" and the box had "Titanic Sales" or something. Too lazy to go in the other room and look. I just could not pass it up. Two of the seven he had were sold in the half hour I made my decision. Looking really forward to running this next week!  :realhappy:

I'm planning to get one of these in the future for mostly stealth and maybe some open use.  Could anyone recommend some good mics that I can run in a kangol without breaking the bank?  Getting everything in the venue is the easy part.  I'm just wondering what small diaphragm condensers would fit in a kangol nicely.  I'm thinking of getting a pair of Neavaton MKE 400's for omni mics.

Unfortunately, you'll have to do some hacking of the bag to get access to both XLR jacks when the recorder is inside it.  At least, that's how mine is.  Nice concept, awful execution.

Good choice of decks, but good luck getting this thing inside unnoticed!  :P I'll continue to use my R-09 for those other applications  ;)

I agree with MSTaper, I personally would recomend a different deck for stealthing. Yeah, it's possible, but why go through the hassle when there are smaller choices.

An R09 plus Dennecke P48 adaptors would achieve the same effect, and are modular so you can hide them in smaller sections (and different spots) instead of just one thing which makes you look like you have some mutant ass cancer.

Thought this stock vs. Busman T-mod comparison might be of interest.  Please consider posting comments in the comparison thread rather than this one so all the followups are in one place.

Has anyone had any issues with the Kingston Elite Pro 4GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model CF/4GB-S2?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134575

I mean it only writes at 133x. Maybe the FR2LE needs it to be 136x.
