OK, thanks for the quick reply.  o3 is the set up. hmmm. My literal issue is that the btmic was working fine for a couple of days. I learned the buttons, volume and level codes etc. then when turned on to record the light will flash dark blue but not shift to the other lighter solid blue when it is suppose to be recording.  Apparently no matter the level setting. Additionally when the play and mark buttons are pressed together the btmic does not shift the light to red and a hard record. Seems to me it would work the other day.

I figured it is mostly software making this thing run so if there was an upgrade it might reset everything there by making everything work without this long exchange with you.

Oh well best laid plans etc.

I will reveiw the info you sent and see if it is indeed an issue or not.

That's the rest of the story.

Peace

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I have attempted the reset with the paper clip with the btmic set on record (top toggle position) and on playback (center toggle position).

The light went white blinked and blinked dark blue as in ready to record (or green in playback toggle position}.

However there still is no recording or file being made.  Not even a hard record.

There is an intermitant clipping signal (red blink) with average noise or spoken word. Lowering level has not effected this and the light never goes to solid blue or light blue, as it would to indicate audio capture.

Thanks again for you all's help.
