Can't speak to all of your requirements, but most seem to be met by the Icom
R75 receiver:
< Under $700 price; current production product
< RS-232 controllable (RS-232 port is std. in addition to the CI-V
interface)
< Believe that every front panel control and menu setting is controllable
via ext. computer (even the ON/OFF switch)
< There is a provision for an optional "high-stability crystal", which may
allow you to plug in your own master reference oscillator
< AGC can be defeated via user control
< Is physically small (~10 x 4 x 9 inches)
< Somewhat limited in that only three selectable bandwidths (optional
plug-in filters available)
The R75 was reviewed in the January 2000 QST.
The Ten-Tec R-350D is a possible alternative, but it's over $1K. GL!
