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 http://www.dxing.info/equipment/icom_ic756_plimmer.dx |
