There is an excellent video on YouTube by Jerry KG6HQD (https://youtu.be/8n-ANTQTmUU) explaining how to set up a relatively inexpensive (88€ here in France on-line) Zoom H1n for use as a voice recorder with his SOTA portable rig. As he points out, one needs to take care to test the levels with your rig. This wasn’t specifically targeted at satellite use but should work great with an HT for sat passes. A mobile phone works just fine but if you use it for pass tracking (as I do) it becomes a hassle. Plus, by taking the audio from the HT directly and using headphones with the recorder (as I do with my TH-d72a) it makes for much better audio.
