Yeah, I'd go with the Zoom H2 as well. When a starting up LPFM station asked if I could do a metal show for them in 2015, I mostly did it old school, with CD DJ decks, MinDisc decks, prerecorded downloads, etc. The 21st Century thing that I used the computer for was Zara Radio automation software for my jingles and back ground music. Anyway, I fed all that through a mixer and the output of that went to the LINE IN of my Zoom H2, where I used the STUDIO LIMIT function. I used 128kbps MP3, where 1hr = 55MB file length. Then I'd USB transferred to a Linux base computer to do any post edits with Audacity. Then, when I like the final product and timings, uploaded to an FTP free site. (Which I'm having trouble finding today.) 5 years ago FTP sites were numerous, and anyone could hit a link in an e-mail, go to that FTP site, and download the show. When it comes to radio and program producing, I'm still old school in producing it, but the Zoom H2 let me marry the best of the old way of doing it, with a 21st Century tweak. Oh!!!! Here's a shortwave example for ya! When Art Bell did his very 1st Midnight In The Desert program, WBCQ aired it on 7490kHz AM, back in July 2015. What I did was set up a Kenwood TS-2000X to USB mode, (To reduce fading and phasing.), and used the radio's headphone output to the Zoom H2. I used 128kbps MP3 MONO mode, (Even though that's overkill with MAX audio going to 5kHz.). What I've later edited out was the drop outs between Art Bell to Keith Roland, and, or, between Keith's Dark Matter Digital Network and the stream that WBCQ use as the feed. (No satellite then, yet.) The results??? A shortwave recording of that very 1st show with somewhat propagational background sounds, but very natural sounding music and voice qualities. I could have recorded that in 48kbps MP3, the Zoom H2's minimum, but.... Anyway, get the Zoom H2, learn all its perks and jerks, and you will not go wrong, but you will want to do test experiments to set it up to have the audio come out as you want to have it, various bit rates, MONO / STEREO, AGC / LIMIT / COMP / none at all, etc. But, once you do, you'll love it.
