I just kept muttering to myself…OMG…WTF…OMG.

Just when you think they can't…..They do.

a little second question … why would they be listening to these on the recorder ? One would think they would download these right to the comp and go from there.  At least it would be easier to loop suspected EVP's 

Not sure, but I bet it's the same reason you see them reviewing the video evidence on the friggen' 2" screen of the camera rather than on a regular monitor!!

Steve is notorious for not knowing what is going on and still trying to give a play by play of what supposably (sic) happened. Witness Fort Mifflin.

Not just that, but Steve has many times relayed to Tango (or whoever is his partner at the moment) the wrong information that had been previously told to Jay and Grant by the client at the beginning of the show.  He just has a hard time getting facts straight.

In one episode there is a gal in the room with Steve during analysis. Steve is moving all around, can't concentrate, looking up and down etc. She asks if he as ADD. Might explain a few things if he can't pay attention during the walk-through.

In the Kimball episode Steve tells Tango that they recognize Charlotte from a photo. The client said that it was Benjamin they recognized. Could be they also recognized Charlotte from a photo and it was edited out, but still…

And in this episode (Star Island) Kris is telling the other two gals about the boy who "fell off the cliff and hit his head and died" I wonder if this is the same story about the boy who just fell on the rocks (not _off a cliff_) and perhaps Steve embellished a bit when relating the story to her.

Telephone game again…if only Kris is told what happened, and it's up to her to tell the other two, then the other two are getting third-hand information:

(Client -> J/G/S -> Kris -> Kristin/Amy). (and then Steve -> Tango)

Not the best way of doing things in my opinion!

… and might even catch an EVP !

What do you mean "might"? LOL I'd lay about 100:1 odds on it!

And Steve's bungling of the intro to the EVP – I thought I had misunderstood what they were looking at, but apparently it's just Steve that doesn't know what's going on. You'd think that as he's presenting the evidence to J&G they would correct him on the circumstances and then they could re-shoot the evidence review and reveal and help Steve save face.

You'd think they would but in the Fort Mifflin case, Steve goes on and on setting up the scene and both J&G stand there and nod. Then they go to the client and Grant tells a completely different story (I was finally able to piece together that Grant's version was the correct one) It really hurts the credibility of the whole show when you get such blatantly different stories and no one says "uh, no, wait a minute, we were actually doing such and such"

Interesting question -

HEY Tech Mangler Steve – If the wireless mike does not have a recorder on the receiving end, are the EVP's sent over the radio link anyway ?

And…as a followup…since the whole "theory" behind EVPs is the manipulation of the recording device (which would have to be the transmitter in this case), why can they not then listen to the EVP in real-time. Since the manipulation has to take place at the transmitter, all they have to do is split that signal and let someone listen real-time who can then inform the people asking questions what sort of responses they are getting.

If the transmitter is infact the device that is NOT being manipulated, then there should never be an EVP recorded unless it is from an entity in the same area as the RECEIVER and who is manipulating the recording circuits of the RECEIVER directly. It seems very unlikely that the recording circuits of the receiver would be manipulated via a ghostly signal sent wirelessly…if you subscribe to all the theories we've been told about EVPs, that is.
