[ICOM] NEW IC-7000

[AD5VJ Bob]

Glad you asked that question:

I will try to be a short and concise as possible with my
explanation.

In this dissertation we will forgo any mention of protons,
neutrons, or electron flow or any discussion of the inner
workings of the matter itself, composed to make up the
processor or its associated bread boarding.

Although mention of the fact that all components are so
small in size that they can not be detected even under an
electron microscope, and the power consumption is less
than .000001 nano amps.

Although it might also be worth mentioning here that
energy to the system was in the form of various forms of
matter found readily available at any simple grocery
store.

Enough said on the technical aspects of that, now we will
only look at the end result of the processor from a simple
end user perspective:

The processor was a terabyte or better in speed while
being able to process up to and in excess of 256 bits
simultaneously. While the memory was unlimited (then), it
has since been downgraded over time to something a little
less in speed and memory having been taken over by outside
resources performing the same function therefore making it
unnecessary more and more each day.

The DAC/ADC system was built into the processor after many
months of adjustments and exercising the processor at
varying speeds, both DAC/ADC functions then actually
became and integral part of the processor and the system
was in fact integrated later as an automatic function of
the ability within the processor to copy long and short
pulses at varying speeds as they were processed through
the audio stream no audio filtering required since all of
that was done as a function of the processor itself.

Now there are two main advantages to this type of DAC/ADC
integrated system. 

First rise and fall time is automatically adjusted by the
processor itself and only the necessary portion of the
signal is left for processing thereby freeing up the
processor for multiple other associated tasks at hand.

The main advantage is that no matter how bad the incoming
signal may be distorted or how low the signal strength is
into the receive system.

Thereby taking on the processing speed and characteristic
memory of the processor itself.

Now you might ask how is that as good as IF DSP. 

Well, very simply put, when you are using BTE filtering,
IF DSP is not needed in this application at all, therefore
there are less artifacts to deal with and filter from the
main stream of data being handled by the receiver, .

You see only those long and short pulses that are
necessary are allowed through the BTE filter by the
processor, while all others are automatically ignored and
deleted immediately, putting less strain on the receiver
system allowing it to use more of its resources for
detection and amplification.

So you might be asking your self *just how much is a
system this integrated and efficient worth in the market
place?

Well the worth is a function of time and energy allocated
to processing the data streams.


IOW:
My brain coupled with
a lot of practice and 
Good old fashioned *hard work*. LOL :0)

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
