Hi, Mike 

Good to meet you in Albuquerque.

I have been very slow in finding an adequate computer to drive the Perseus I've bought but havent' yet connected to anything. I'd be grateful to learn what machine you have replaced the 9-year-old Dell with ...

  Hi Everyone: 

  Ten days ago I placed an order for a Perseus receiver. Not a sudden decision by any means as I had been thinking of getting one for almost a year. The sudden death of my old Dell computer was the catalyst I needed. It was approaching it's 9th birthday, well past it's best before date and not worth repairing so a replacement suitable for driving a SDR was found. The Perseus arrived here last Friday and I've spent the past two evenings learning something about it. All I can say so far is "Wow!" this machine is incredible. Yesterday evening I could see many TA's across the whole band, admittedly most of them were just carriers, but to actually see them is beyond belief. Even on the longwave beacons I could actually read the Morse code IDs being transmitted on the screen. Yet months ago when I first read about this waterfall display in the users manual I thought "I will never use that" and now I'm thinking I will use it all the time. It's gonna take a while before I learn ever!
 yt!
   hing it can do, but it's gonna be a fun time.

  Mike in St Isidore, AB
