Utility / Re: Scanning for Firedrake 00:30z - 01:00z

« on: March 29, 2013, 2214 UTC »

I barely heard 13920 around 12:30Z this morning.

Checked on Wed & Thrs around the same time and didn't hear them on 13920.

Also was checking 13970, 13820 & 13870. Couldn't do a lot of searching as was driving.

Heard earlier this week or last of the cuts too and couldn't keep up either. All I remember was cutting service to NAm. But I was listening during a different timeslot, I think that was beamed to WAf. I missed that they said that one was being cut too.

Been thinking and doubt that its a pirate, but may be a broadcaster that's testing. Even though no FCC records, they may be behind in posting them.

Equipment / Re: Running a Persius on a MAC?

« on: March 23, 2013, 1401 UTC »

I imagine you could run it under vmware or parallels, I used to do that with the SpectraVue software for the RF Space SDRs.

I have Perseus in Parallels and it has problems.

- Playing back a pre-recorded wave file is fine.
- It doesn't work with the radio. Just does nothing.
- When tying to connect over the network, it seems to connect in the server messages box, but never does anything more than that. 

Have heard from others of similar results. Haven't had a chance to dig into it much yet.
