To believe that a personal cassette recorder could have recorded 
all members assumes too much.  McAuliffe was on the lower deck
 Resnik was on the flight deck.  Inter-crew communications are via 

helmets (from what I understand of ascent and reentry).  A personal 
tape recorder would NOT have picked up any remark to Resnik.  To 
believe the validity of such a recording, one would have to assume 
that orbiter communications were active and that they had power to 
function.  I don't think so.
