So what's wrong with the Perseus?- Hide quoted text -

Nothing - I've ordered one. When I have it I will shake it down and
let you know. But I disapprove of that type of DXing. I had a chat to
my son in Atlanta about it. He said my DXing was like a single line
sport fisherman, whereas Perseus is like seine net fishing where you
throw out a huge net and catch every fish in the ocean.

He said that's not sport - shame on you Dad.

So I have mixed feelings about Perseus and will see.

Seems like I made some similar comments not that long ago,
but it was back before your trip to Atlanta,
so they might have rolled off the buffer of us oldsters memory.

Regardless of the panadapter, the radio has superior electrical
performance. I don't see any sport in receiving a 50 KW station, period.
