ILLUSTRATIONS.  ALL FUNCTIONS ARE CLEARLY LABELED AND THE OPERATION OF THE
SOFTWARE OVERALL IS VERY INTUITIVE.  DURING MY FIRST 30 MINUTES OF
EXPLORATION, I ONLY HAD TO RESORT TO THE MANUAL WHEN I WANTED TO LEARN THE
FINER POINTS OF A PARTICULAR FUNCTION.  THE PERSEUS HAS AN EFFECTIVE
RECEIVE RANGE OF 10 KHZ TO MORE THAN 30 MHZ.  WITHIN THE SPECTRUM DISPLAY
WINDOW YOU CAN MONITOR UP TO 800 KHZ AT A TIME.  FOR MOST OF MY
APPLICATIONS, HOWEVER, I REDUCED THE DISPLAY BANDWIDTH CONSIDERABLY TO MAKE
IT EASIER TO TUNE NARROW SIGNALS SUCH AS CW OR DIGITAL.  THERE ARE EIGHT
RECEIVE MODES AVAILABLE AT THE CLICK OF A SOFTWARE BUTTON CW, UPPER
SIDEBAND, LOWER SIDEBAND, AM, SYNCHRONOUS AM, RTTY, FM AND DRM MORE ABOUT
DRM IN A MOMENT.  THE PERSEUS ALSO PROVIDES A USER MODE THAT MAKES THE RAW
I AND Q DATA AVAILABLE FOR USER DESIGNED APPLICATIONS.  THE TURBOCHARGED
PERFORMANCE OF THE PERSEUS BECAME EVIDENT WHEN I USED IT TO DIG WEAK CW
SIGNALS OUT OF THE NOISE ONE EVENING ON 40 METERS.  SOME OF THE SIGNALS
