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

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
