Jerry,

The only difference between the two is that the D model brings the 12 kHz IF out to a jack on the back. If you search the web or the archives here. It's a pretty simple mod. That signal is then fed into a computer soundcard line input for decoding DRM broadcasts. If you're not going to be decoding DRM, you probably don't need it. Other than the IF output, there's no difference between the two and either should work fine with your Pegasus.

FWIW, I have found that using the 12 kHz IF output on the Pegasus (another simple mod, especially since the Peg has a SPARE jack) works better than the RX-320. This is because the Pegasus has an RF gain control which the RX-320 lacks. With my Carolina Windom 160 antenna, the Canadian DRM broadcasts would overload slightly and reduce the S/N ratio. Backing off the RF gain on the Peg improved reception.

73,
Mark

I would like to know the difference between the '320 and the '320D. I'am thinking about interfacing a 320 with my Pegasus and want to know if one is better than the other one or what?? Can't seem to find any info on the differences. Thanks
