It's the voice activation ~{while connected to a radio that makes a VOX recorder so useful. ~ ~ I purchased a CTR-82 recently and found it activates only from the built-in ~ microphone and the mic input jack, but not the auxillary jack. This is ~ using a Sony 2010 from the recorder jack and a Bearcat 200XLT from the ~ earphone jack. It works fine this way but I don't understand why plugging ~ into the aux jack doesn't activate it also. The manual indicates it should ~ work this way. Anyone else finding the same on their CTR-82? I bought one but returned it within a few hours. The vox capability didn't work when the power supply was used, and I sure don't want to be burried in batteries. [I believe it was, as another poster claimed, the AC hum that triggered the vox continuously.] Padraig Houlahan.
