[TriLUG] Digital Video Recorders: advice

[Mark Shuford]

Hmmm...
Depends on what is your planned application for this.

If this spec is correct (which seems nuts)
"# Frequency Banwidth: 500 Hz ~ 3,000 Hz"
then it's not even covering the telco's def.
of a voice channel.

Course that could be just with the mic.; but that's
not what it says.
