Default Receiver Upgrade Query

AFAIK, There are no HF transceivers with a sync' detector.


I wonder why it is that none of the big three (Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu)
have included synchronous detection circuitry on their HF transceivers.
A lot of these rigs are loaded with all kinds of goodies, right? And
there's the constant competition to put out the ultimate rig... And, I
mean, c'mon, it's not as though these units are used exclusively for
amateur communications... The rx sections are general coverage, after
all...

A few extra goodies to make some of these rigs more suited for AM
broadcast receiving, and these companies could probably tap in to the
SWL market (let's face it, there's not a whole lot of action where new
HF tabletop receivers are concerned...it wouldn't take much for
Icom/Kenwood/Yaesu to get the attention of SWLers...what with all the
IF DSP and spectrum scopes and jazzy multi-colored displays!). And
let's face it, having such a rig on the desk can be quite an inducement
for an SWLer to subsequently go whole hog for the amateur thing...$$$.


Oh, and here's something that the original poster might find
interesting (I know I did):

John Plimmer's comparison of the Drake R8B receiver and the Icom
IC-756ProIII
