That sounds good, Randy. I will be going over a few more of the details
today. I do like that modularized approach. If I use a TDA1572 as the 2nd
I.F. subsystem, it is easy to have an I.F. output jack, as well as the
ability to add a Sync detector further on down the line.

Hi Randy,
At the Madison, Wisconsin gathering a couple of years
ago,
one of the folks brought along his CCRadio. I brought a couple of mine
along, and we just let the CCRadio sit along, looking happy. While the
CCRadio is a good receiver, this new unit of mine will be ten steps
above
that in performance. The units that I have built so far have been pretty
comparable in performance to my Racal 6790/GM. Another
analogy..................picture a Collins 75A-4, and picture it with an
antenna with performance better than a Palomar loopstick antenna, but
not
quite as good as the large Kiwa antenna, and..............you get the
drift.
Even with a 6kHz Murata ceramic filter, the skirt selectivity is steep
enough that you can separate the sideband components from the carrier of
an
AM signal. I think that you would be very pleased with the product.
It's
going to be a winner.

Pete
