Another option wound be to buy a VHS Recorder and you can record for up to 6hrs. (2hrs mode would make better recordings. Would be fine for FM audio.) Just a option to consider. Bill

It made great recordings even at the lower SLP setting. (No longer have the Panasonic.) But I have a really nice older very high-end Sony that my parents used many yrs. On Wed. (my next day off) I'll see how well it records an FM broadcast.
