Yes, when I graduated from the SDR-IQ to the Perseus I found the lack of
a native scheduler to be the biggest downside (along with the lack of a
pause button on playbacks), but as Walt says there are now plenty of 3rd
party programs out there. I've used several and these days I use both

Ah yes, the old broken record1566 again showing a barely audible
carrier this evening 0510UT, stronger than it has been for awhile,
but still strictly of interest to the propagation buff.Usual
rapid erratic fading, with carrier spread out over several Hertz.

Bruce, as a long time Perseus user, yes, there are a number of 3rd party
scheduling softwares. We've asked Nico, the developer for years for a
native scheduler, without any success. The various 3rd party schedulers
I've tried were never 100% reliable, until a very simple one called Mestor,

For the record, I'm running the Excalibur (G31) using the software
written for the Excalibur Pro (G33). A couple of years ago, someone on
the Winradio YG wrote a dll file that allows you to use this lashup and
take advantage of features that are in the G33 software that aren't in
the G3
Actually, in looking for 1503, I happened to also notice that at the
other end of the band there was about 45 seconds of weak audio on 612
around 1211UT. Extreme minimalist DXing indeed.

Not here it wasn't, Walt, at least not after 1100UT when my recording
started; it was as weak as everything else. I suspect you're
getting some advantage from that nice patch of ocean not too far from
your radio room!

Now that I'm a bit more awake Bruce, I believe that I recall that the Excalibur
was only unable to do timed unattended recordings, but that the pricier
Excalibur Pro can. What is your experience there? Two of the DXers at the PEI

Nick, I happened to have 1503 zoomed in on my SDR, and noted that it was
relatively strong on the waterfall for a few hours before LSR. Don't know
whether that would have translated into audio or not, though.73, Walt

Nick,
I listened this morning from 1210-1220 utc with no audio heard. Strongest het
was 738. 1503 & 891 produced hets too. 891 het was at it's strongest level in a
long time. (5) A level 6 het would be giving off some audio.

Hi Anthony
I've owned an Excalibur for the past two years, and very recently added
a Perseus to my radio collection. Both are quite good receivers. I'm
not aware of any Mac software to run either radio, although there may be
third party software I don't know about.
I've been generally hap
An impressively useless morning today, great for sleeping. Oh wait,
I was sleeping. The recorder was doing the heavy lifting. A very good thing.
Very few carriers at any level, and only Tahiti delivered any audio
traces, "best" at 1142UT, with a man talking in splash, seemed to

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of experience with your possible
choices for SDR, Anthony, and none with driving them with an Apple
computer, but a couple of thoughts:
I lurk on the Perseus Yahoo list, and people do you use Apple
computers for Perseus, but I believe it's by running some sort of
I've been considering adding an SDR to my MW dx tool arsenal but I am a newbie
in that area and am looking for any thoughts or recommendations from those of
you more experienced than me. The primary appeal to me about SDR is the ability
to record the entire band for later searching.
