Links to Software Defined Radios (SDR) |
Software Defined Radios have been available for years already. When in late 2007 the Perseus receiver was introduced to the market, first tests
confirmed outstanding performance, but, even more important, new options regarding frequency observation became available to the DX community:
A range of up to 1600 khz can be recorded simultaneously, while all signals in this range can be evaluated later. With all functions that
exist for usual listening, as notch filter, passband tuning or the choice of filters.
A booklet as well as a review were edited by Nils Schiffhauer (in German):

| Online map based logging |
Software Defined Radios brought a new dimension to DXing: Visualisation. You can see the signals you receive, over a broad spectrum.
Now the next step of visualisation can be explored: Near realtime displays of logs on a world map. See what others hear. Let others see what you are receiving.
Three choices exist so far. The first one is managed by Günter Lorenz. The combination of Perseus and Perseus Databases offers logging by just one mouseclick. A log will be created automatically that includes frequency, date, time, choosed modulation and signal strength.
More than 26,000 datasets of MWList, the Tropical Band List (TBL) and a NDB list support this functionality. It has never been easier to create and maintain a log book!
