PETE,

IMHO: The Drake SW8 would be a nice package size for both
a Desk Top (AC) or with batteries for mobile/portable use.

Yes, Marvin.................we will be marketing this receiver. Our software
guy still has to write the programming code for the synthesizer, along with
the code for the graphics LCD. I should have all of the RF design completed
by the end of the month, so the ball will be in his corner. I am hoping for
a March or April ship date, but you know how schedules can slide. As far as
style, I am thinking of making it about the size of the Drake SW8. Let me
know what you are looking for, folks!

Is there any other information available about this receiver?
Is it meant to produced commercially?

The MW receiver is progressing pretty well.................I have
completed
the synthesizer, and am now doing the final pass on the receiver board
itself. MDS measures at .2uV right now, with strong signal handling up
to
about 900mV.
Next week, I plan to design the sync detector, but there are a couple of
things to keep in mind. If there are two closely spaced signals, the
stronger signal will capture the system. For this reason, I may also
include
the envelope detector function.
The initial results are very encouraging....................in the "RF
Alley" that I live in, with three 50kW MW broadcasters, no overload
problems
were noted. I will keep all of you posted on the progress of the
design.

Pete
