Re: [IRCA] THREE NAIVE QUESTIONS



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.  You can record to your laptop or desktop, but then transfer
over to something else.  I have a couple of 1 and 2 TB units from WD.
Got'em from Office Max (when on sale) or from New Egg by mail order.  Why a
laptop?  So you can DX from other locations besides home.
