The Silicon Labs Si4734\/35<\/p><\/div>\n

I have gone through our Shortwave Radio Index<\/a> (SWRI) and tagged every portable radio<\/a> that is based on the Silicon Labs Si4734 DSP chipset.<\/p>\n

The Si4734<\/a> has been one of the biggest innovations to happen to portable receivers in recent years. When implemented well into a receiver design, the Si4734 can give a small portable exceptional selectivity and sensitivty through the power of DSP (Digital Signal Processing)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
