[JRC] NRD-525 info

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Phil:

You're going to be very impressed.  For NDBs and other narrow signals the 545 is
the only receiver I know of for any price that has a 10 Hz IF filter position.
This is easy when the IF filtering is done in DSP rather than in analog
filters.  Pass Band Tuning is not required.

You will be able to hear the NDB carrier on one frequency and the modulated
sidebands on different frequencies.

I have some 545 info at

Have Fun,

Brooke
