All good comments - my current reluctance to join the SDR crowd is the expense of buying a Perseus and then getting a laptop with enough horsepower to operate it...
For me, another strike against is the whole concept of scooping a swath of spectrum and âlistening toâ or searching it âlater on...â
I work - and I have zero time for hunching over a laptop and snooping through WAV files looking for DX that happened 8-12 hours earlier.
Maybe when Iâm retired.
I am amped about getting a BeagleBone webSDR up an running from my QTH but was choked when I looked at how expensive it was to get one to CANADA.... around twice the price of one in the USA.
Iâll revisit that soon - the idea of having a self contained web receiver with a dedicated processor is appealing. Having an SDR that is dÃpendant on the whims of Bill Gates and Windows holds ZERO appeal. Unlink thà receiver concept from a Windows O/S and Iâm in.
