DR111 review update
Folks,
I must say I am really enjoying this receiver. Much of the time I am listening right off the whip with great results. I am also using several wire and active portable antennas. I'm beginning to think it is just as sensitive as using Paapradio with DReaM.
There is no IF output, but I'm not sure you need one with a device that decodes by itself. The tuning can be done several ways and you must set the unit to am or drm manually. The CDNSE team is really working on developing the firmware to implement improvements as they go. I'm sure firmware fixes to some of my comments will be forthcoming soon.
I'd say we have a winner with the drm111! I give it a rigorous workout daily with several hours of am and several hours of drm with great success.
I feel strongly that this rxer is what we need right now to keep drm alive! If you have the inclination to help with further development of this radio and company, order a demo unit!
