I have never used the sync detect mode. I don't even use it on my
SW8 or my AOR7030. I know that many folks like this function, so it is a
worthwhile thing to design into the receiver.
I am not sure how well this circuit will lock, so it may just be a first
pass at most. Still, signals won't be fading into the noise floor of the
system; the atmospherics will be the determining factor.



In my opinion, a synch detector that keeps losing lock on problem signals is
useless. Like another poster in this thread said, if you can't design a good
synch detector (apparently it's not easy to do considering that ICOM can't seem
to do it), I would rather have manual ECSS ability (SSB mode with an extremely
fine tuning (preferably analog) knob)).
