Hello fellow radionuts (radionauts?). For some reason, I've decided to design and build an FM tuner. Just to see if I can make a good one I guess. A few questions have presented themselves: -PLL or quadrature (IC) decoding? -Stereo decoding: single IC or "discrete"? -Throw in SCA! Why not? PLL? -Anyone in S Ontario (KW) area? -I'm still having a hard time figuring out AFC. I can see how I might do it with a PLL - the DC error voltage being used to pull the LO to the correct frequency. How was it done in the old days? ;-) If I could design not only AFC, but also automatic tuning of an RF preselector and perhaps even an antenna tuner, that would be tres cool. All thoughts greatly appreciated.
