Personally, I have no interest in a 'radio' that requires a computer to operate.



Me neither. Who wants their radio to be at the mercy of ****ty, goofy,
virus-prone MicroSlop Windows? As far as I'm concerned, they've yet to
make a truly reliable turn-key computer.

I'd still like to see JRC resurrect the NRD-515, but with a synch
detector, tunable notch, a decent NB, and good audio. To me that would
be the perfect "consumer-grade" DX rig, especially with the 515's
SUPERB ergonomics.

You gotta wonder, with the accelerating vacation of HF by
broadcasters, the stagnation in the development of DRM, the ongoing war
on the radio hobby by HOA's and local government, and the gathering
threat of BPL making some spectra difficult if not impossible to use,
just who is this rig targeting?

And for the kind of money asked for premium rigs by Ten-Tec, ICOM, AOR
and now JRC, what do they know that we don't? What's coming?

Good question. I'm waiting to see the new offering by Kneisner + Doering.

And of course, for those who are interested in a software controlled
transceiver, Kneisner and Doering also have an offering:

WW3 where shortwave will be the main communications channel again after
the satellites get clobbered and the underseas cables get cut or
blocked.

Don't forgot that US Military will be destroying the ionosphere very
shortly with it's Ionospheric Remediation program. The rest of the world
doesn't seem to think that the Ionosphere NEEDS remediation.

Will arrogance win out to the detriment of shortwave?

My ham catalogs show a good amount of HF marine gear; I'd imagine
ships at sea would want this kind of radio, as well as shoreline
monitoring stations.

Not to mention spying operations, eavesdropping on n'ar-do-wells using
easily obtainable ham-type transceivers.

On the other hand, it's nice to know that someone is still interested
in building a receiver based on performance, rather than buzzword features.

Look at the bigger picture. The headset is probably only ONE percent of
the radio cost. It's a BARGAIN.

Universal Radio now has the NRD-630 up on their site:

http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...vr/nrd630.html


Is this supposed to supersede the NRD-545?

I wonder why has less channels (300 vs 1000) and less bandwidths etc?

Hi from Ken in the UK,

I think the filters mentioned in the 'Universal Radio' spec may apply to
fixed frequency roofing filters, not 2nd and third IF filtering that will be
taken care of by the 32 Bit DSP Circuits.
I am sure there will be more than enough to choose from going on DSP
equipment currently available in the market place at the moment......cheers
Mark, all, Ken, G4KIR.

The 'supplied bandwidths' mentioned by Universal certainly don't look like
roofing filters but merely your run of the mill standard voice and CW filters,
6, 3, 2.7, 1, 0.5 and 0.3 kHz.
