EFFECTS OF FADING, MAKING THE SIGNAL A PLEASURE TO HEAR.  EVEN MUSIC, WHICH
OFTEN SUFFERS WORST OF ALL, IS ENHANCED WITH SAM.  I USED THE PERSEUS IN
THE RTTY MODE TO RECEIVE DIGITAL SIGNALS, BUT THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT HAVE A
BUILT IN RTTY DECODER.  TO USE THE PERSEUS WITH A DIGITAL DECODING
APPLICATION SUCH AS DIGIPAN, YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SHARE THE RECEIVERS
AUDIO OUTPUT SIGNAL.  YOU CAN DO THIS WITH A CLEVER PIECE OF WINDOWS
SOFTWARE KNOWN AS VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE VAC.  THERE IS A FREE TRIAL VERSION,
BUT IT INJECTS A NAGGING VOICE INTO THE AUDIO STREAM SAYING TRIAL.  EVERY
10 SECONDS OR SO.  WITH VAC RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, I WAS ABLE TO
EAVESDROP ON PSK31 CONVERSATIONS USING DIGIPAN, AS YOU CAN SEE IN FIGURE 3.
