It's kinda important to note that not everyone can afford a RX350,
hi. However, I understand that other receivers either can be modified
or are DRM ready; for example, the TenTec RX320d has the necessary 12khz
output already tapped, and I understand the recently discontinued
AOR7030 can also be modified. In addition, there are several portables
that can be modified, and a few from companies that, to be honest, I've
never heard of that say they are DRM ready. Some of these portables are
discussed somewhat on http://www.radiointel.com
It might be helpful if there was a list somewhere of DRM compatible
(or modifiable) receivers, but I don't know of any. Anyone?


An excellent DRM (and not only) receiver is the WinRadio WR-G303i (no
modification whatsoever required).

It is also currently the only receiver which has its own (native) DRM
software developed for it.

There's a guy reporting on the forum at www.drmrx.org with a 303i and a 60
year old RCA AR-88D tube radio to which he has attached a SA612
downconverter from Sat-Service Scheider. Guess which one wins? The AR-88D
achieves higher max and avg DRM SNR by ~8dB and ~6dB respectively. In one
example this resulted in 99.1% vs 80.5% successfully decoded audio over a
1-hour period. He gets consistently better results with the AR-88D
regardless of using a Wellbrook LA5030 loop or a long wire with either
radio. http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthrea...0504#post10504
