The H2 has some very interesting features indeed!  2 pairs of
2 mics with multiple ways to enable them is one.  2 seconds of
pre-roll at all times is another.  Another is it's ability to
turn itself on/off depending on the volume of sound it detects.
I wonder if the time-stamped Broadcast WAV format it can use
could be used to determine at what time sounds may have been
detected?  That might let me figure out when during the day/night
that a rat is digging into my compost bin.

Thanks....
