Recorder Catch on 6925 USB

Missed this, so thanks Chris!

Very weak reception here, with a proviso...

I was testing a new resonant loop with a significantly higher Q (~850) than the one I normally use (Q~240), and this was the first time I used it in overnight capture.  It de-tuned slightly (temperature?  humidity? bird droppings on the winding?) and because of the very high Q, the reception off-resonance was degraded significantly; in other words, it is working!  This would not have happened with the loop I normally use for overnites which can tolerate de-tuning to a degree.

Thanks for participating in the test, PPVR!
