âI wish I could help but I haven't used a Perseus SDR in quite a while; I'm
DXing with an Elad FDM-S2 as my primary receiver now. So, my WAV files are
compatible with HDSDR, FDM-SW2, and Studio 1 software only.â

Also, I use 4 GB as my default file size so that fewer of the WAVs are
generated during the DXpeditions, and this is a larger size than my cloud
storage accounts will allow.

It would be great, wouldn't it, if there was one universal file storage
format for SDRs? I think as far as SDR receivers go, we're still in a
period similar to the "Betamax vs. VHS" incompatibility era.
