DRM Receiver Upgrade
-
Published in issue 356, July 2006
The DRM Receiver described in the March 2004 issue of Elektor Electronics has proved very popular and many thousand of the receivers are already in the field. Its excellent design is both simple and inexpensive. In the best tradition of homebrew construction we have supported the receiver by publishing two add-ons to the basic design; an automatic preselector (11/04) and an automatic gain control (2/06).
