Thanks Tom.................I was considering the DSP approach for a much
later model. When I was working at Rockwell-Collins, I did get to play with
the 95S-1 a little bit, and it seemed to be a good receiver. I did have an
HF-2050 for awhile, and it seemed pretty good.
I know that there are some companies like Gray Chip that make some digital
receiver devices, and I am sure that others have jumped onto the bandwagon.

Thanks again, Tom!

My employer has given me the go ahead to design a new product. If there

enough interest, I will design a new MW receiver for the market. What

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.


Great news, Pete!

How about a different approach? Direct conversion architecture, tail
ended by a high-performance DSP processor.

Perhaps if you post your project's design constraints and target
customer base we could give you some real-world suggestions. The way
you phrased it, I'm very tempted to "ivory tower" you into the finest
tabletop that $23,000 can buy! g

Good luck with your project, and have fun. Please keep us apprised
of your progress.

Very 73,

Tom
