This $100 Sony [XDR-F1HD] is a fantastic bargain and appears to be just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately I don't have the RF test equipment for generating and measuring FM frequencies, but Brian Beezley does (go to http://ham- radio.com/k6sti/ xdr-f1hd. htm). He and his associate Bob Smith, both of whom know what they're talking about, report that the XDR-F1HD outperforms on the test bench every known tuner under the sun, regardless of price. The secret is a new NXP (formerly Philips) chipset that implements the front end for digital IF reception as well as the digital-IF DSP back end. ----- http://www.ham- radio.com/ k6sti/ac. html __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (2) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Links | Database | Polls | Members | Calendar Support your club!
