The designer(also the main engineer of DE1103 & Grundig SAT800) now ask
advise of the receiver function from BCLer, the DE1108 will be the
high-end receiver of DE 110X series, it comes with a large dot matrix
LCD display(128*64) two way speaker system, MP3 recorder, AM sync
detector, SSB, dual conversion, the reference basis is SAT700, it
should has better performance than sony 2001D, 7600G, SW77 even SAT700,
the outline dimensions will be large than SAT700,pls post your thougts
here, I will take the message to the design, thank you!

How about being controllable from a PC, and also flashable memory banks
that could hold program details and schedules for portable operation? The
schedule details could show on the screen when tuned in. Flash memory is
cheap now-a-days.

DRM support should be built-in, or at a 12 khz filter and firmware should
be flashable to enable it (and future digital radio standards perhaps).

Also selectable LSB/USB, none of this forced LSB/USB of the DE-1102 and
1103 portables (below 10 mhz forces LSB, above USB). Fine tuning should be
like the ATS-909, in small steps, at the very least not with a tiny, hard-
to-use thumbwheel.

And finally, provision for an add-on hardware board that perhaps could be
used for XM or Sirius in the future or other Satelite radios.
