Hello All,   Yesterday's torrid Kiwi propagation didn't repeat for a second day, temporarily making Chuck, Tom and I wonder if the session might turn out to be somewhat of a letdown. But around 1300 the Cliff delivered interesting DX as usual, with several low-band Australians providing some e

Pete - The filters in Perseus (and most SDR's) are light years better than analog radios. Sensitivity is adequate below 10 or 15 MHz but not good above that. It's good at handling strong signals including long Beverages. As for other radios, the current QS1R, WinRadio, Elad and RFSpace radios

1. Yes 2. Won't work with tuned antenna, unless you are only aiming to record one channel. Requires a long wire, flag, or a beverage. 3. Yes, but I only have Perseus experience so I will let others respond You will need a decent laptop and large capacity outboard storage unit for Perseus files

Not exactly hyper-skilled in the technical arena, I am considering buying a Perseus and have three questions: (1) Above and beyond its ability to record wide expanses of the spectrum, is it an above-average receiver? (2) I have a couple of indoor loops which obviously you tune for max signal st

Thanks Bill.   As you might guess, the DU propagation this morning was completely different from yesterday-- weird Australians all over the low band, while the Kiwis were relatively subdued. Chuck seemed to be looking for a repeat of yesterday, but Tom and I were thankful for the variety!
