Robert, The Perseus SDR, which uses a computer for display and control purposes, performs very well as a panadapter, also as a multi mode receiver which covers 10 kHz to 40 MHz
The maximum span which can be displayed is 1600 kHz, and the minimum span is 800 Hz. The resolution bandwidth is stated to be 1 (one) Hz when the span is set for 800 Hz, which allows one to see clearly a weak CW signal separated by 10 - 11 Hz from a very much stronger CW signal ( 50 - 60 db stronger) at the narrower scan settings. I have never run out of markers when attempting to deduce (using my Perseus) the listening pattern of a DX station in a pileup, if he/she is following some sort of listening pattern. The dimensions of this SDR are 4.25 x 1.5 x 7.5 inches, and it weighs 380 grams (sorry for mixing Imperial with Metric!). I have no financial interests related to this SDR. 73, Geoff LX2AO On July 02, 2012 at 8:01 PM, Robert G. Strickland wrote: > In another post I ask about sub-receiver versus panadapter.
