One more for today... I am using a stereo digital recorder for logging. It has a stereo 3.5mm mic socket. I am using a "attenuating" patch cable from the HT audio into a "stereo splitter" plugged into the mic input (it has a stereo plug, and two mono sockets --- tip and base, and ring and base). The other side of the splitter has a mic. So the intent it to put the HT into one channel, and the external mic (recording me) into the other channel, when recording.
I am only hearing the HT audio on playback. I have a feeling that the plug "base" connection is not ground -- it is on the ring or tip.
Any one have or know the signal assignment on a recorder mic jack? base, ring , and tip? I would assume it would also match the assignment of the mic input of a PC (if you know that)?
