That's a definite for sure. I've got all of the RF design done; I am just
waiting for our software person to be freed up, so he can write all of the
control/display code. I've gotten the overload point up to 140mV, and it
handles all of the signals in the Chicago area with not overload, when using
a 100 foot antenna.
For the past couple of weeks, I have been learning a new software package
called Protel DXP. I've just started creating all of the library symbols in
the past couple of days. After this happens, I will transfer the design over
to Protel.
I was hoping to have this radio hit the market this month, but we have a 3
million dollar project that has a higher priority.
I still need to work out the mechanical details for the packaging,
especially for the loop antenna.
Another project I have completed this month is a DDS based signal generator,
with AM capabilities. The boss was impressed with the design, so I think
(hope) that we will be marketing this item. Coverage is from 1kHz to 30MHz,
although that can be increased to 60MHz. It will have both keypad entry
shaft encoder for frequency.

I hope it's still on - I made a "reserve" account for the purchase of it
:-)

Maybe he'll choose ten of us to get free "Beta Tester" rigs ;-)
