My response/question is not intended to antagonize or troll. I would
love to purchase the TenTec DRM capable system. It's something I'd
love to "mess" with. Unfortunately (in a way), I've got broadband
Internet and with radio-locator.com I can get music/news from around
the globe. This is without drop outs, completely digital and only
some stations sound a little "phase shifty" if they stream slowly.
I've got the money for the radio but now it seems like it might be
redundant. And I can imagine, instead of fun trying to bring in a
station, it will just seem like "make work" since I can just point and
click around the globe. You know?

Thanks for posting this mod Al. I just ordered a demo TenTec RX-350.
TenTec now has the RX-350D which is the exact same receiver, but with
the 12 kHz output already provided on the back panel.

I'm looking forward to this new receiver. How's the performance of
the synchronous detector?

Unless you're in the market for a new receiver, I would not purchase the
RX-350 strictly for DRM reception. The receiver needs to appeal to you for
other reasons as well. If you buy it just for DRM, you will be disappointed
by the few DRM stations available. I just dabble with DRM because it's there
and because I can.

I agree with you about the Internet. I like to listen to Polish broadcasts
via the Internet and there are many from Poland to choose from. The
reception is, for the most part, good to very good. I believe the shortwave
medium is dying and being replaced by the Internet and satellite
transmissions.
