Thanks for the endorsement Gregg! I think this unit will be a desk top unit
though.
Right now, I have the synthesizer and the loop amplifier/tuning circuit
captured into Protel DXP. I still need to do the Rx section and the Sync
Detector. A couple days more work.............then the fun stuff begins.

Behold, Pete KE9OA signalled from keyed 4-1000A filament:

Thanks for the endorsement Gregg!

Anytime :-)

I'm pro'lly one of the more excited ones here about your project :-D

Do you get much flak from the bean counters about trimming costs in the
design? This seems to be one of the major reasons that some great
receivers don't make it to market.

No, they are leaving the design details up to me. The owner of the company
is also a MW Dxer like myself.

This is all very exciting Pete.
Wonder if the mechanical on/off switch made it to the final design?
Also, are you willing to hazard a guess (realizing of course that
other projects could change it) as to an approx. availability date?

really looking fwd to it!

Hi Russ,
I am not sure about the ship date yet.................our
software person still needs to free up from the big project before he can
work on this one. And yes, this unit will have a mechanical power switch.
I've got a Drake SW8, and although it is a fun receiver, I really hate that
soft power switch. The manufacturer must have thought people would have the
unit plugged in all the time It is going to be a good receiver.
If this project takes off the way I hope it will, I would also like to do a
general cover version of the receiver. The Rx circuit will be the same, with
the exception of switchable band-pass filters for the front end, and of
course, a different synthesizer topology. If that comes to pass, I will
probably use a hybrid DDS/PLL design.

What kind of store might sell that version?
