AM Synchronous Detector Review: Sony ICF-2010 vs RL Drake R8B
Will wrote:
Interesting discussion. Just out of curiosity:
Is the sync detector on the Sony 2010 the same
circuit that is used on the currently-available
Sony ICF-7600GR?
Will, they both use custom Sony ICs. However, they are different designs.
Or, since that latter has a
switch-selectible USB/LSB that applies to both
the SSB and Sync selections on the tuning-method
switch, is it more like the R8's? Or something
completely different?
Without details on the internals of the Sony IC, I don't know. I have been
unable to find specific information on the web.
Given their behavior, I would expect that Sony design to be similar to
Drake's. The phasing method of side band selection has been around for
years.
