Thanks, David.

I consulted with my technical recourses and they do not know the chip you use in the front end. It is very hard to predict how this solution will work in a real live. I presume that a discreet analog front end is more powerful then this "on-board digital frequency synthesizer” but it need to be aligned and… it was 40 years back. Who knows - might be those chips are able to do something good, perhaps not in sensitively department I am sure that you compare your tuner with better along tuners. About the A/D processor, I was wondering what chip you use and at what sapling rate you do you DSP processing?

About Beta. I do not know. I do not need another tuner - do not collect then but use them. I have two tuners that I use -a few times per week recording of live broadcasts. I might get another tuner but ONLY if it would hammer my current tuners: reception-wise of sound-wise. I use Sansui TU-1X with modified output stage for attendance use and Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 broadcast relay with wide-band output into Rohde & Schwarz modified multiplex decoder. They both are purely analog SS machines with no DSP of any kind. If you tuner will push any of them further sonically then it might be interesting. Reception-wise it is always there is a room for improvement. Whatever it might be I would prefer to get a wide at least 450K band of IM and do not gain noise ratio by losing side band. It might be interesting what re- broadcast relay of 2010 will be able to do with broadcast relay of 1970 (Rohde & Schwarz). If you would like to make this experiment then we could arrange something… I am in Boston, US’ New England.
