Not the most sensitive receiver but it had excellent digital filters
for its time. Very low distortion and great audio quality.

Guess they gave up on the KWZ-50. Anyone heard anything?

Last I checked their website they appeared to be out of the receiver biz.

I recall reading somewhere that the KWZ-30 had a unique method of
handling AM signal fading. It wasn't synchronous detection but
something else. Does anyone remember what it was?

See page 13 here where it mentions the AM demodulator, that may be it:

A DSP synchronous detector. The K3 has one.

The KWZ-30's audio quality is the best I've encountered on any HF
receiver. And I've had a few. And their Auto Notch function is second
to none - totally transparent when selected, and with practically no
effect on recovered audio quality.

Are they still in business? The last time I tried to visit their

That requires a lot of processing power. It would follow that
latency would be high. If you're using WWV as a time standard for
something requiring very high precision, it would require a
correction step.

Still, that's a pretty clever way of doing it.

I took German in high school because I thought it would be easy. Boy,
was I in for a surprise. Much harder than I thought.

English is even harder to learn to speak (the actual grammar is a
joke).

I found out there are WAY more exceptions to the 'I before E except
after C' rule than there are applicable situations. The 'rules' of
grammar, as you say, are a joke. The spelling makes no sense either.

The dictionary editors should go into a grade four class and see how
the kids think stuff should be spelled. It would be a learning
experience for the adults.



mike's law: "I before E except USUALLY"

Possibly you are new to eBay?

While a guarantee would be nice,

1) the condition was clearly stated as USED.

2) it clearly stated "Item is sold in as is condition."

3) This is not out of the ordinary, as 99% of used electronics on eBay
offered by private sellers IS sold "as is" (which is to say, no guarantee).

As always, Caveat Emptor.
