Analog versus DSP
I'm in the market for a receiver after being out of the hobby for 15
years. After much research, I've narrowed my choice down to two rigs: AOR-7030+ and Icom 756Pro-III. I've never owned a IF DSP receiver before. I've owned an R4C, an FRG-7, and a NRD-525 over the years, but never a DSP rig. Have DSP receivers reached the point yet where they're a viable alternative to the best analog rigs? I've heard that first generation DSP rigs, such as the NRD-545 and the RX-340, have limited dynamic range (relative to the best analog rigs) due to limited A/D chips. I consider good dynamic range to be one of the most critical aspects of receiver performance--do the newer DSP rigs address this issue? My primary interests are utilities and DXing the MW and SW bands. I don't do much, if any, program listening, so audio quality isn't an overriding concern--I just listen long enough the ID the station. |
