new rx, thoughts please   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1558 of 2340 |
hi all,

I am currently looking for a new sdr rx. I have been looking around
and the ones that seem to jump out are the Perseus and the QS1R. Also
winradio's and RX320/321. Does any one have experience of both?

I like to do a lot of LW/MW dxing and dx what's left of the sw
broadcast bands.

Current rigs/kit IC-R71E, ALA 1530 and a PCR1000 with a small discone
using mainly Shortwave Log (which is fantastic software).

regards,

shaun

Hi Shaun, good overview by Thomas. If you want to use span recording and playback and start using it soon, Perseus is the best bet. Later QS1R will probably...

Thanks Mauno, Sorry for the delay in reply. Life in the real world! The thing that I like and to be honest draws me to the QS1R is the client/server model. I...
