You do have some good ideas, and I am listening. A DX switch won't be
necessary; we will have a great dynamic range. The tunable preselector seems
to be a good thing. I will be pricing Type 61 ferrite rod stock tomorrow.
We were even talking about having some sort of band scanning spectrum
display, but right now, that is in the air. I will be bringing in one of my
own units tomorrow, and we will launch off from there.

Hi Pete:

- Just my choices...

Portable over Small table top;
Double conversion would be a must.
Presets would be invaluable; I have them on the Sangean 606A and the
Sangean
DT110
Built in antenna with external port.
DX - Local switch.. ?? always have it on DX..
OR

Tunable pre selector that wou't confuse the average shopper..

( focus group used here ?? ; talk to marketing)

Loop antenna add-ons for DX'ing or distant stations.
extra speaker plug ins for Stereo FM ??
Definitly Digital readout
Small, ( 3 inch?) ported speaker
Knob type Tone controls

Target price.. Dunno, competitive with others in the field..

My employer has given me the go ahead to design a new product. If there
is
enough interest, I will design a new MW receiver for the market. What
would
you be more interested in......................a small table top type, or
a
portable?
Performance wise, I am talking about something like that of an AOR7030.
I don't think that I would be inplementing Sync Detection, but a couple
of
I.F. bandwidths could be possible. Definitely, double conversion, and
digital readout, with good audio quality.
Would you want any presets? How about target price? Do you want a built
in
antenna, or external antenna only? High and low impedance antenna
inputs?
How about a built in tunable preselector?
E-mail me directly, and we will see what happens. Any of you who have
built
any of me receivers know what I am talking about...............I plan to
take the design to the next couple of steps up in performance.
