"Richard" wrote in message ... Although I have been interested an amateur radio for about 30 years, I've never focused much attention on radios made with ICs. Lately I have got an interest in FM receivers, and have discovered some FM-related IC's/chipsets. ICs such as LA1177, LA1266, LM7000, (these three being a chipset), and LA1235 etc etc. But, doing a web search , you cannot find any homebrew AM/FM RX using these IC's. Why is this? I would have though they would be ideal for the hobbyist to mess around with. Okay, from what folks have said, I gather that as time has moved on, ICs relevant to construction of AM/FM radios have tended, more and more, not to appeal to homebrewers because their specs are seen as not being that good, and they have lost much of their flexibility/applicability - due to current design/production/marketing trends. |
