(Previous Report of 28/07/2010) – The new WR-G31DDC Excalibur by WiNRADIO, the Perseus and New Gemini by Microtelecom Direct Sampling Receivers, already displayed to Ham Radio Fair in Friedrichshafen 2010 (report of 28/07/2010)
WR-G31DDC Excalibur new Direct-Sampling Receiver by RADIXON Group Pty. Ltd. a fully-owned subsidiary of the Australian company Robotron. Robotron is a privately owned high-technology R&D and investment company, founded in 1983.- In the commercial market, the company operates under its brand name WiNRADiO © —- Link to: Radixon Group Pty. Ltd official Home-page

WiNRADiO © declares that the new WR-G31DDC Excalibur receiver’s robust front-end (ndr: no preselectors filters!) is equipped with an ultrahigh-linearity amplifier which result in exceptional strong-signal performance. An advanced “dithering” technique eliminates spurios signals without significantly increasing the receiver’s nois floor. The superior 16-bit 100 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides exceptional performance over an extremely wide range of signals. Frequency range 9 kHz to 49.995 MHz three indipendent channels can be set separately.
Excalibur did not Preselector filters in the RF imput, has only (MW filter) a high pass for medium wave. Excalibur sample at 100 MHz (MSPS), but what really happens tuning signals around the frequency of “Nyquist” (100 : 2 = 50MHz) – [Note]: The figures SFDR (Spurious-Free Dynamic Range) declared by the producer is still about 107 dB. The Image Rejection 90 dB typ, with an MDS of -130 dBm @ 10 MHz/500 Hz BW. (Clik the image to enlarge Ultra Low Jitter Clock features for the Gemini FPGA)

The new GEMINI receiver features two RF inputs signals simultaneously sampled by the Gemini A/D converter are numerically processed at 200 MSPS/channel by a high speed multichannel digital down-converter implemented in a FPGA of Xilinx’s most recent Spartan6 family – Ultra Low Jitter Clock for the Highest Dynamic Range up to VHFs! (including the value of SFDR – Spurious-Free Dynamic Range) – Each of the two RF front-ends are equipped with a six bands pre-selection filters bank ranging from 28 to 170 MHz. —- Link to: Microtelecom srl >Gemini official web-page

!!-New Kenwood HF radio: the sales man talking in video said “it was a K3 killer”!!
The First video from HARA by WB8CXO – Hamvention 2010 Thursday Morning
The all-round transceiver IC-9100: HF/50 MHz (100W) 144/430 MHz (50W) 1200 MHz (10W) with optional 1.2 GHz UX-9100 module. Optional D-STAR Unit, DV mode operation on the esport version.
* HF/50MHz, 144/430 (440)MHz &1200MHz coverage (UX-9100 Optional)
* 100W on HF/50/144MHz
* 75W on 430 (440)MHz
* 10W on 1200MHz >(UX-9100 Unit Optional)
* Roofing 15kHz (FL.431 3kHz/ FL-430 6kHz 1st IF Optional for HF/50MHz)
* D-STAR DV (D-STAR Unit optional in combination with operating bands and mode)
* Satellite mode operation
* SSB, CW, RTTY, AM, FM & DV (D-STAR optional)
* 32-bit floating point DSP & 24-bit AD/DA converter
* Double superheterodyne with 2nd IF image rejection mixer
* This device requires 13.8 VDC
Icom introduces a direct competitor to the Kenwood TS-2000 TS-2000x!…. The IC-9100 has only one main DSP unit. In the 9100′s price class, it would not be cost-effective to include a second DSP board (ADC, DSP, DAC, support IC’s) for dual receive. No VHF and UHF at the same time.

PT-8000 New Telefunken HF VHF Transceiver! Hamradio 2009 in Friedrichshafen, the absence of a stand Hilberling, who presented the HF transceiver PT-8000 only with a poster with the distribution indicated by the Telefunken Racoms! One of the sensations at Ham Radio 2009 Friedrichshafen is the co-operation of Hilberling and Telefunken Racoms. So it seems the PT-8000 may be available this year!
[IT]
Hamradio 2009 di Friedrichshafen DE, assenza di uno stand della Hilberling, che invece presentava il transceiver HF PT-8000 soltanto con un manifesto con indicata la distribuzione da parte di Telefunken Racoms. Questo ha rafforzato le voci e la sensazione di una co-operazione tra Hilberling e Telefunken Racoms per il PT-8000, che sembrà sarà disponibile entro questo anno!
