I'm looking for a way to record radio programs (on a set schedule) without using a computer.
A) A digital audio recorder that can be connected to a radio to record programs at a certain time.
B) A radio with built-in digital recording capabilities that can be set to automatically record at certain times.

This review is from: CC Witness 2GB Digital Recorder/MP3 players with AM/FM (Electronics)
Great little recorder. Received mine yesterday, charged it up, recorded a few test recordings on AM and FM. Programmed it to record from midnight to 4am and it worked great. Fairly easy to use! AM receiver is sensitive and worked well with no interference. I followed the instruction manual and turned off th AM Radio display to minimize/eliminate any interference. Uses SD Memory devices as big as 16gb! That is in addition to it's built-in 2gb of memory. Maybe in a future model it will use a USB Thumb Drive or maybe a regular USB External Hard Drive! This unit is going to make late night recording and recording of specialty radio programs a real easy task....."

Here is one suggestion that you can use.
1. Buy an electric 24 hour timer as this one at the following link. Plug teh timere in and set it so it turns on just prior to the time your radio show is scheduled to start, and off after your radio program is scheduled to end.

2. Set up your radio to the station your program is on and turn the radio on.
3. Connect the recording device to your radio so it can record your program, since you said no computer I assume you are using a manual electronic recorder of some type that you can set to record, and when the electrical power is supplied will start recording.
4. If you wish to control the time that your radio and recording device turn on, then use a plg splitter and plug it into the timer switch.
5. Plug your recording device into one of the plugs connected to the timer switch
6. Plug radio into either an electric outlet or the other plug on the timer switch
7. Turn on recorder and set it to record.
Now when the electrical timer switch reaches the time just prior to your radio program, the radio and recorder will receive power and turn on. The recorder will record your preset radio program. When the scheduled time is up the timer switch will turn off the devices.
