You'd need a lot of time and be better than either of us to build a=20 "better" one than some of the models available. The people into SDR (Software Defined Radio) have lists of ones that=20 actually work properly. As flat response, good bass response, Dynamic=20 range, good SNR and channel matching all more critical for SDR (Zero IF=20 I&Q RX and TX) than music. http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3D1749 http://forums.flexradio.com/Forum19-1.aspx Of course SDR folk like 192kHz sampling sound cards. Which has advantage=20 of needing less filtering. Then in software /HW downsample from 192kHz=20 to 48KHz for storage. Upsample /interpolate to output at 192kHz. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
