The quality of construction is in the usual JRC tradition, 'excellent' inside and out. Three samples were tested for this report Be sure and read the 'mute' issue text at the bottom of this web page in the 'green' block, it can be a real issue with some used samples. So it's the used market for any purchases of this model. The last 'new' NRD-545's were made in early 2008. Again, just be aware if you plan on making a 'used' purchase of one. Many factors play in this and will not be the same for all. It very well depends on where you are, what antenna you are using, what time of day you use the set, signal activity/strength around the tuned frequency.etc. NOT TRUE !!! I have quite enough hours using this set over the years to tell you that these sounds (DSP overloading) are no joke no matter how you adjust it. I have owned 2 samples (plus a Sherwood test sample), all being the latest firmware.Ī few off the newsgroups have indicated that I do not have my NRD-545 receiver set up correctly, so I'm hearing those noises that I have indicated below. This is a DSP receiver, that is DSP is used in the IF / DETECTION / AGC etc. Actually it's 'Audio Recovery', that is pulling a person's spoken word out of the mud, is quite good. Of course it has more to do on how sensitive YOU are to the DSP noises (overloading) that this set can emit under certain conditions. User comments have been at the extremes from excellent to 'really poor' with the JRC NRD-545.
