MRC decoders - any good?
Posted by MrMick on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 4:21 PM

I was at  my LHS this afternoon and he had a box containing several MRC decoders;  they were AD305's and AD310's.  They were in their original, unopened packaging. Are these worth making an offer on? I went to the MRC site but these decoders did not show up. I suspect that they are 'old'.  IIRC, early MRC decoders were 'unreliable'; Are these worth the trouble?

Google mrc AD305 AD310

There are issues. I did a search but rather not post the results here.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Thanks;  After reading  up on them, I believe I know everything I need to know.  I appreciate the suggestion. I am going to pass on making an offer.

Good decision from all I have learned about MRC decoders.

I do believe the newest releases are better for various values of better.

A suggestion, hardly anything today is Ungoogleable. Google is my best friend, by far.

Sometimes it takes an hour to confime search results. Your mileage may vary.

It is rare I ever have to ask a question in a forum.

I found that word on the 'Net maybe three years ago.

I did Google the word also.
