Maybe that's all it needs .


No, it is just less sensative and more noisy than the superb Icom. It
doesn't seem to be malfunctioning, just not up to the Icom IC-7600
standard.
After I had trouble on the second DXpedition I upgraded to software
ver 3.0beta1 and that improved matters but it is still not up to the
Icom or my pal Vince's Drake R8A.

For instance he heard a clear ID on a US station at 0500z on 1480 kHz
but all that was on Perseus was an unreadable het.

I see . A good RF generator is what is needed here . That may clear
things up a little .
