Hi Les, > The Perseus SDR can indeed operate without the Perseus hardware connected, * but* the software needs to run at least once with an actual Perseus rig connected before stand-alone operation of the software is possible.
However, I think a better alternative is to install the free "HDSDR" program (http://www.hdsdr.de/index.html). This is the best of the programs based on the original Winrad SDR software, IMHO. I'm fairly confident that you can load a Perseus WAV file with HDSDR without needing a physical Perseus receiver attached. If you are interested in more Perseus WAV files recorded from around the world, I have quite a few of them available for download. The WAV recordings were available on the Perseus SDR blog I operated for three years until Feb. 2011. There is a lot of trans-Pacific action available on some of these files (esp. the ones recorded from Haida Gwaii by Dr. Walt Salmaniw, and the files recorded at Grayland, WA by myself and others. I'll post a message tonight or tomorrow to this list with information on how to access the Perseus files. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA --------------------------------- > Message: 8 > Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:49:09 -0500 > From: Les Rayburn <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [IRCA] Perseus WAV Files Recorded in Hawaii Available > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Quick question.
