Anyone tried receiving DRM signals

[Tom Koeken]

Hi

Several broadcaststations are testing Digital Radio Mondial a.o. Deutsche Welle on 3995 kHz (yep allowed broadcastband in Region 1).
DRM uses 12 kHz wide "audio" to be decoded by software into digital audio.
A friend got it working op a TS-680? where he used a modified (wider) IF filter op a spare CW-N location in combination with the standard SSB detector/audio chain.

The IF-filter of a K2 is adjustable, but perhaps not wide enough for DRM.
So my questions:
-has someone tried recieving DRM signals (and succeeded)?
-what is the maximum IF width fot the K2 IF?

PS more info on DRM on www.drmrx.org or wwdxc.de/drm.pdf and for the hamversion HB9TLK on qsl.net or www.qslnet.de/member/hb9tlk/

The Arizoma Traffic Net on 3992 has tried working through the
interference! It was terrible a couple of weeks back when the
geomagnetic storms were going on. S9+20 It's a constant noise, unlike
AM. The carrier on 3995 is always heard in the west at night, but the AM
lower sideband didn't bother much since we are on lower sideband....

I am building an Elektor-Electronics DDS receiver with a 12KHz
bandwidth.  It is RS232 controlled and covers 1-25MHz.  The boards are
available mail order, and I have found all the components except thr 12
kHz Murata filter CFW455F and the Murata 470KHz ceramic resonator
CSN470, which is pulled a bit to mix with 455KHz to get 12KHz.  I plan
to use it for spectrum scanning and BPL monitoring.
