He now has an optional line-out for recording and a headphone jack. So, I ordered mine with both of those, since I wanted to record with it, just for fun. <br /><br />Actually, you know I use a D240x for most bat work (I do bat surveys); but the HET sound quality of this (Tony's) detector is pretty close to the D240x HET output. It really is a good detector! Of course, you can't plot HET on a sonogram...but it's great for listening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251794512793454139.post-21343796121708339522013-06-26T23:59:44.881-04:002013-06-26T23:59:44.881-04:00Thanks for the comment.

Always helpful. <br />I agree, not only fun to build - But, fun to use!<br />I'd just advise beginners to take their time! Go slow, and it will complete perfectly (and neatly). <br />In the very beginning (when I got my kit) Tony was supplying the very first kits with partially assembled circuit boards - With the most critical components already soldered in (the ICs, display LEDs and a few others). In fact, I may have had one of the very first kits. I presume they went to full-DIY kits soon after.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Albatdetectors@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073278129551997043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251794512793454139.post-14336848022463409872013-06-26T14:37:50.023-04:002013-06-26T14:37:50.023-04:00I built one of these, just for fun, a couple years...I built one of these, just for fun, a couple years ago. It's a good little detector. Tony is a super-nice guy and very helpful. I would highly recommend this detector to any beginner who wants to assemble their own kit. It's a lot of fun. The auto-scanning feature is nice for a HET detector.<br /><br />By the way, this unit is not assembled in any way! You have to cut your own holes and do complete assembly with this kit. It took me about 30 hours, but I don't do electronics assembly very often...<br /><br />It kind of reminds me of the old HeathKit projects back in the 60's and 70's...<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Lone Ranger.
