I have been very pleased with the Sony ICDPX370. It is creates a very clear recording for playback.
I have found that it took me a while to find the ideal headphone best suited to Satellite Ops. Right now I have settled on $0.99 ear buds from Wal-Mart. I have tried several different types and found that these cheap earbuds have great high frequency response and are very clear and crisp. I have an expensive set of ISO Tunes earbuds that I use in the workshop and I love them for music, but when I have used them for Sat work the strong bass that sounds good with music makes for a terrible voice earbud. It doesn't matter what volume I use the ISO Tunes at, the deep bass makes for a muffled sound that is very difficult to follow.
John, if you have any questions or I can help show you my setup please let me know and I will be happy to help.

It does have a line in, so you can plug it right into your headphones with a headphone splitter to let you hear too. Seems to do a nice job, although I've only used it a few times.

Thank you and any suggestion on tape recorders, pleas let me know.
This model purports to have a line-in jack, if that's what you wanted.

Depending on your rig, a cheap SDR dongle attached to the IF/Panadapter jack will let you capture a large chunk of the receive spectrum. You can later sort through this for the calls that you missed by playing back the recorded I&Q data.
