A NEW RECEIVER IS COMING: DSP KWZ30-2
Hello! From time to time I kept an eye on the Kneisner+Doering site,
waiting for information about the successor model to their KWZ-30, a
new model that had never materialized for years. Now it seems that
the wait is nearly over.
Go to http://kd-elektronik.com/index_e.html and click on "DSP
Receiver" and "DSP Receiver KWZ30-2". For the time being, only the
preliminary technical specifications are available, but I'm looking
forward to reading more about it. I own and like their KWZ-30; I hope
the KWZ30-2 will be a step forward, in comparison to an already very
interesting receiver. Usual disclaimer: I have no commercial
connection with K+D; I'm posting this message only for your
information. 73 (Fabrizio Magrone, Forlė, Italy, Feb 4, HCDX via DXLD 6-023)

I have the KWZ-30 and I will be buying the new radio for sure. Hans is
a great engineer and was always out in front with DSP circuit design.
Radio design and build is not his regular job but he still provided
personal service to me when a nearby lightning strike took out the
mixer chip on my radio.He would e-mail me at midnight or 1AM (his
local time) with info or a circuit diagram and even sent me a couple
chips free of charge from Germany because they were only sold in large
quantity here in the US.
The KWZ-30 is still my favorite shortwave listening radio. The DSP
filter setup is still one of the best. Only the Icom IC-7000 comes
close with its AM filter selection.
I think it cost about $1965 with expedited UPS shipping (1998). Thanks
for the info, Ace.
Where are you in Michigan? I'd sure like to check out that KWZ30.

I will wade through all the spam and look for a message.
