lineage’s for the TT DSP IF radios into 5 basic
groups.

1. RX-320, ADSP2101 DSP processor, designed for
aggressive price point.
2. Pegasus/Jupiter ADSP2181 DSP, processor, designed
for aggressive price point.
3. RX-350. ADSP 2181?, processor, designed for
aggressive price point.
4. RX-330/331/340 ADSP2181 ADSP processor, designed
for high performance.
5. 526/516? ADSP2181, designed for aggressive price
point.

I don’t have any schematics other than the one for the
RX-320, so I can’t really speculate too much about the
DSP processors used or the clock speeds. However I
have seen references to the specific DSP processor
used for most of the models listed above, the ones
with “?” are not for sure/educated guesses.

As for the SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE lineage, it gets a bit
murkier, though I think it can be broken down into
about 3 different groups.

1. RX-320, Pegasus/Jupiter, RX-350. I would estimate
that on a DSP code level they are within 70-80% of
each other.
2. RX-330/331/340 again 70-80% commonality.
3. 526/516 the same 70-80% between the two.

Now for even more fun consider what the DSP IF code
difference is likely to be between any two radios in
the above two sets of groupings. I would estimate that
there is not more than 50% difference between any of
them in terms of core DSP code. Once again these
estimates are only for the signal processing parts of
the designs not for any front panel control
software/firmware that there may be.
