Re: [IRCA] State of the art SDR (Perseus, etc)



Chuck,

Most of the negative complaints are based off recent posts to the "product review" section of eham.net. Obviously, hams may be attempting to use the Perseus for other applications
beyond MW DXing.

I own an SDR-IQ, and I'm very pleased with it. I'm not sure that the ability to capture the entire band will be all that important to me (though it could raise the totals quickly just by recording TOH ID's). My biggest obstacle is always time (time to review recordings, time at the dials, etc) But it's clear that SDR's are the tool of choice.

Thanks to all on the list for the advice.

73,

Les N1LF

Still trying to upgrade the shack to get serious again in regards to AM DX. Have the antenna situation resolved, just need to relocate active antennas and Wellbrook loop outside of the near-field noise of the house.

Was considering purchasing a Persesus SDR receiver, but have been reading that the software is no longer being supported? What would the high-end SDR jocks out there recommend purchasing in terms of an SDR and why?



Les -

Where have you been reading that? It's not true - an update was released in the last month or two.

And a better question would be "does it need support?". It's a mature and stable product that gets good marks. No SW is perfect, but you'll find it more than satisfactory.
