Re: [IRCA] Elad FDM-S2 initial testing

Guy - It really doesn't take much of a flash drive or SD card to keep up with SDR (Perseus) recordings. Perseus needs 64 mb/s (megabits) or 8 MB/s when recording 1.6 MHZ worth of signals. Almost any SD or flash can do that. Even the slowest flash drive in the link you sent handles 400 mb/s.

Another morning for "sleeping in". For the most part, the DX certainly was, with occasional flashes of life. The bulk of that life was 1415-30UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope Reasonable audio at times during the period (m

Re: [IRCA] Elad FDM-S2 initial testing

​Hi Mark, ​​I can second what Chuck has said-- modern Atom processors can handle SDRs with CPU cycles to spare as long as you don't go crazy and try to run too many programs at once. I have a Asus T100TA Transformer tablet/keyboard combination that has the Bay Trail-T Z3740 processor and runs my

Re: [IRCA] Elad FDM-S2 initial testing

Thanks for the further observations Mark.I've traveled in the past with an ALA100 and a chunk of wire, and almost always been able to find a support of some sort. One of the many advantages of a loop is the ability to place it close to the ground, and the ALA100 is quite resistant to noise

Re: [IRCA] New logging

Steve, I really admire longtime DX’ers who have literally logged every station on a target frequency with one or two exceptions. At this point in my DXing pursuit, virtually every night can easily generate an all-time new one for the log. Same thing on FM. Congratulations! 46 years is a long

Re: [IRCA] Elad FDM-S2 initial testing

Mark - It's bad science to quote the 9 year old MSI Wind with its first generation Atom as an example of netbook/Perseus issues. Semi-modern Atom processors are 3 to 4 times faster than the primitive N270 used in the Wind. I have no problems running Perseus on the ubiquitous Z3735F tablets an

Re: [IRCA] Elad FDM-S2 initial testing

--- Begin Message --- With the Perseus I had a similar experience. Atom-based netbook (MSI Wind) gave me OK record / playback up to 800 kHz bandwidth but it couldn't cut the mustard for 1600 kHz wide captures. Core i3 or higher: no problem. Are DXers using any netbook form-factor PC's (screen
