Thanks, Dave

What kind front-end your tuner has?Romy, probably best I point you to a datasheet as it contains more information than I could fit in my reply
http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/TEF6730A.pdf

Any further information about the tuner further topology?
The output of the TEF6730 is fed into A/D converter circuitry. From there all filtering and demodulation is performed in DSP. This allows us to statically and dynamically control the RF and audio performance that makes this tuner so versatile.

Availability?
Would you be interested in a beta model? Stock is very limited so I can't promise anything at this stage but let me know and I'll see what I can do. Please also provide me with your contact details and I will get in touch when they are available for general sale shortly.

Price?
As mentioned there are two versions of our new tuner, the RX1 and RBRX1:

RX1 - USD $1345 (List Price)
Unprecedented RF and audio performance as well as access to typically hidden RF and audio settings makes this a very capable receiver. With adjustment of over 50 parameters (including audio and IF bandwidths, de-emphasis and blending for stereo, HF and ultrasonic noise) the tuner can be perfectly adjusted for optimum listening experience.

RBRX1 - USD $1995 (List Price)
Adding to the extensive features list of the RX1 the RBRX1 has MPX regeneration, PI code checking and silence detection to ensure the rebroadcast of an FM transmission. The built in RDS generator and scheduling capability turn a high performance receiver into a very versatile rebroadcasting tool.

Any information about the A/D processor you have in it?
Please can you elaborate on this question to allow me to better answer it?

The most important, where/when is possible to see it in the field to get idea about it sensitivity, selectivity and sound?
Our receivers come into their own when faced with less-than-ideal reception. This was core to their design as a good re-broadcast receiver has to be great at receiving weak signals when faced with high power transmissions in close proximity. All of the parameters available allow you to tune the receiver very finely for best reception - or an auto mode works out the best settings if the user is less technically inclined. We are exhibiting at IBC Amsterdam this September and will have units on display, and we will also be at NAB 2011 in Las Vegas but that is not until next April.

Let me know where you are and I'll get more information for you.

Please let me know if you have any more questions

Kind Regards,
Dave
