Hello Mike The PERSEUS is the tops. I think the future is better PERSEUS type receivers. I cannot see manufactures, that don't go this way, still been in business in 2 years! The BIG problem with PERSEUS is finding the time to listen hi! I guess if you have got a dedicated laptop with a 500GB hard drive you can save some Wav. files. You can then spend time scrutinising them in the quiet DX summer months?

Not a sudden decision by any means as I had been thinking of getting one for almost a year. The sudden death of my old Dell computer was the catalyst I needed. It was approaching it's 9th birthday, well past it's best before date and not worth repairing so a replacement suitable for driving a SDR was found. The Perseus arrived here last Friday and I've spent the past two evenings learning something about it. All I can say so far is "Wow!" this machine is incredible. Yesterday evening I could see many TA's across the whole band, admittedly most of them were just carriers, but to actually see them is beyond belief. Even on the longwave beacons I could actually read the Morse code IDs being transmitted on the screen. Yet months ago when I first read about this waterfall display in the users manual I thought "I will never use that" and now I'm thinking I will use it all the time. It's gonna take a while before I learn everyt! hing it can do, but it's gonna be a fun time.
