Post by: glimmer twin on August 21, 2013, 1447 UTC

Is anybody familiar with this:

I am starting to get the itch to spend some money on radio stuff. I'll probably just get a Wellbrook. Maybe a Wellbrook & a perseus.

FWIW... My own preference is towards direct sampling SDRs.

I have a Perseus and its hooked up to a Wellbrook ALA-1530S+. Used to use a 102' G5RV @ 25'. Around 19m and higher frequencies, the 1530S+ is ok. Lower you go, the better it is. Love it on LW & MW. Have a local pest on 1440 that overloads the Perseus, so when on LW & MW, need to toss in 10 db of att.

Haven't done much with it this summer as spending time in the porch, but once the weather gets too cool to be out there, that thing is the best. Get a big hard drive or two. The I/Q files add up fast.
