There's a famed Swiss brand of mini-recorder used by radio organizations for high-audio-quality interviews, and by law enforcement agencies for bugs and wires. Can anyone remind me of the brand name or give me evaluations of how satisfactory is is and whether any lower-cost alternatives are satisfactory for field interviews?

The recorder you are thinking of is most likely the Nagra model E.
These are hugely expensive (like all Nagra kit)
The other well known Nagra recorder is the Nagra 3.
Nowadays for Field interviews I would recommend a portable MD or if you are fussy about what some poeple say about ATRAC a portable DAT.
If its sheer conveience you want with reasonable quality then the Marantz cassette recorders aimed at reporters do a fine job, there ar various versions from dead simple to ones with Dolby C etc.

Yes, York is right, Nagra are said to be very high end. I wonder how long it will be before MP3 recorders, or, say, Nomad Juke boxes will be able to record broadcast quality?
