THE WORLD AT YOUR FINGERTIPS HAMS WHOVE READ MY PRODUCT REVIEWS KNOW THAT
ONE OF MY FAVORITE YARDSTICKS IS THE NO MANUAL TEST.  YES, WE SHOULD ALL
READ THE MANUALS BEFORE WE APPLY POWER TO ANY EQUIPMENT.  IN THEORY,
HOWEVER, A WELL DESIGNED PIECE OF HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENTLY USER FRIENDLY THAT IT WORKS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX WITH AS
LITTLE STUDY AS POSSIBLE.  THE PERSEUS SOFTWARE PASSED THE NO MANUAL TEST
ADMIRABLY.  ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO CLICK YOUR MOUSE ON THE ARROW KEYS
AT THE LOWER EDGES OF THE SPECTRUM DISPLAY, YOURE IN BUSINESS.  THERE IS A
DIGITAL FREQUENCY READOUT AS WELL.  IF YOU DOUBLE CLICK WITHIN THE READOUT
WINDOW, A DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY KEYPAD APPEARS.  JUST ENTER YOUR DESIRED
FREQUENCY IN KILOHERTZ AND CLICK OK OR TURN YOUR MOUSE WHEEL.  THERE ARE A
TOTAL OF 10 WAYS TO TUNE THE RADIO BY CLICKING AND DRAGGING VARIOUS PARTS
OF THE DISPLAY.  IF YOU PREFER A MORE TACTILE TUNING EXPERIENCE, THE
PERSEUS WILL ALSO WORK WITH THE GRIFFIN TECHNOLOGY POWERMATE USB CONTROLLER
ACTING AS A TRADITIONAL KNOB.  THE PERSEUS SOFTWARE CREATES AN ATTRACTIVE
VIRTUAL RADIO ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ACCOMPANYING
