Any idea how they satck up against the comp? I think it is trying to compete with the Perseus. Don't appear to be any prototypes floating around. The earlier WR-G313e has lower dynamic range but the numbers on this model look promising. Hopefully QST or Sherwood Engineering will test one when they are in production and verify the numbers. I volunteer to test one! Jim |

Jim As far as numbers go (at the Sherwood site), the Elecraft looks plenty hard to beat. I wish they just made a stand-alone RX. I'd even buy the kit, and hopefully not screw it up! |

I think that the coming AOR AR-7070 will be a good receiver IF they build it with quality parts. The 7030 was an excellent receiver, but it only worked IF you got a good encoder and IF the buttons made contact. That is where SDR's have the advantage. A lot of the cost is saved in a mass produced computer that is supplied by the customer. Fewer hardware filters and mechanical controls. Most of the expensive stuff is dealt with in the software. Maybe you have seen this link. It has a picture of the inside of the 7070 receiver: http://www.xs4all.nl/~martein/pa3ake...sbi_intro.html Jim |

Just imagine getting their new catalog like I did last week. Everytime I get a radio catalogue I almost want to go grab the family size jar of vaseline. |

I'd even buy the kit, and hopefully not screw it up! I inquired. A lot of the receive path goes backwards through the 10 Watt exciter board (filters, relays) and it is not feasible to offer the radio without it. For General Coverage you must add a wide IF filter and a second set of input bandpass filters. A little under $2K for a radio that runs circles around many costing 2 or 3 (or more) times that much money. I suggest getting a General Class ham license (no code required since 2007) and adopting a K3, if you have a true passion for pure radio. |
