Radio ideas part1

The  proposal below is an enhancement of PL660 with most important specifications  of various DSP models from Degen and Tecsun and a bit of Lowe HF150 . This idea is surely a hypothetical model  that could  be feasible in case Silicon labs could enhance their SI 7434IC chip with  better SSB


[(<360 ) spec  derived from  360]  

  •     Very high  sensitivity , if possible with high dynamic range as Lowe HF150
  •     Very low self noise (<380)
  •     Freqs : LW , 520-17xx for MW , 2-23 for SW , 6x-110+ MHz for Fm (full Fm band plus 2-3 mHz  for out-banders ) and possibly working AIR band (PL600  didn't work )
  •     Modes : AM LSB USB  {ISB/DSB} FM  DRM???
  •     Filters : several for AM /SSB including 2.7 and 6 (proposed 1 /2/3/4/6/9/12?/15? for AM and half for SSB  ) kHz with full audio fidelity (<1103)  ,
  •     Filters : two for FM auto narrow  and auto medium (as all DSP models)
  •     FM mono and stereo
  •     FM step 5 or 10 kHz (<360, x00))
  •     AM synchro (<660)   
  •     Smooth soft mute as in PL380 or DE17 /XH D808
  •     AM step to .25 kHz  SSB  step low to 0.01 Hz   (closer to HF150 or R75)
  •     Built in 4 or 8  GB  memory (<1126) a/o include SD card slot for  recording
  •     Ability  to record from radio , using true MP3  recording on 24/40 (AM)and 96/128kbps (FM)  (<Creative Zen /Q3)
  •     [MP3 WMA and pres. OGG  support (<1126) ]*  
  •     [True shuffle operation (as most mp3 players )] *
  •     Analog volume control (<360)
  •     PL 360/380 audio fidelity for earphones
  •     Field meter as 360,380,880  (dbu S and db S/N ) if possible with  true strength meter
  •     Numerical keypad
  •     [antenna  tuner or external preselector ] (<600)
  •     External grounded antenna  input for  SW/FM  , and possibly  for MW
  •     Standard AA battery compartment with >250 mA charger USB type
    * in case radio includes mp3 player

Ideas addon :
  •  noise blanker
  •  a n l

Ideas  subpart 1 
  •       Includes  DRM
  •       Ability  to decode RDS
 
Ideas  subpart 2: (lite version  dimensions as 1126/1127 )
 
  •       No SSB
  •       Very high sensitivity , very low noise
  •       Steps of .5 kHz  for AM  , 10 kHz for FM
  •       Higher audio outputs than 1126  with more steps
  •       Automatic volume gain in soft mute  signals (as with DE17)
