Re: [IRCA] THREE NAIVE QUESTIONS
Pete - The filters in Perseus (and most SDR's) are light years better than analog radios. Sensitivity is adequate below 10 or 15 MHz but not good above that. It's good at handling strong signals including long Beverages. As for other radios, the current QS1R, WinRadio, Elad and RFSpace radios are more or less equals of the Perseus. They will be a little cheaper, but it seems they are not as widely used as Perseus.

Re: [IRCA] THREE NAIVE QUESTIONS
1. Yes 2. Won't work with tuned antenna, unless you are only aiming to record one channel. Requires a long wire, flag, or a beverage. 3. Yes, but I only have Perseus experience so I will let others respond You will need a decent laptop and large capacity outboard storage unit for Perseus files. You can record to your laptop or desktop, but then transfer over to something else. I have a couple of 1 and 2 TB units from WD. Got'em from Office Max (when on sale) or from New Egg by mail order. Why a laptop? So you can DX from other locations besides home.

[IRCA] THREE NAIVE QUESTIONS
Not exactly hyper-skilled in the technical arena, I am considering buying a Perseus and have three questions: (1) Above and beyond its ability to record wide expanses of the spectrum, is it an above-average receiver? (2) I have a couple of indoor loops which obviously you tune for max signal strength frequency by frequency. What are the Perseus antenna needs so the whole band is at max? (3) Are there others besides Perseus which I should be looking at for simplicity or other reasons? Thanks.
