Hi Brenda,
I am not sure yet..............it depends upon what features
folks are looking for. If we put in the spectrum analyzer type of display,
and the sync detector, it will probably be in the just under 300 dollar
range. For this price, the performance will be in the class of the
multi-thousand dollar offerings from Harris, Racal, Rockwell-Collins, etc.
The unit will have a tracking preselector for the active loopstick antenna,
which will tilt in both planes. I am not sure if I will go for multiple
bandwidths, or use a couple of narrow bandwidth filters, and use a phasing
technique to achieve continous bandwidth control.
Still a few more ideas to implement.

Pete

The MW receiver is progressing pretty well.................I have
completed
the synthesizer, and am now doing the final pass on the receiver board
itself. MDS measures at .2uV right now, with strong signal handling up
to
about 900mV.
Next week, I plan to design the sync detector, but there are a couple of
things to keep in mind. If there are two closely spaced signals, the
stronger signal will capture the system. For this reason, I may also
include
the envelope detector function.
The initial results are very encouraging....................in the "RF
Alley" that I live in, with three 50kW MW broadcasters, no overload
problems
were noted. I will keep all of you posted on the progress of the
design.


Any ballpark idea of what this little jewel will end up costing??
