[Lowfer] Flex radio Model 5000

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

I second Johan's comments...

Been using a Perseus for over a year now and it's still the most impressive receiver in the shack 
(and I have a lot of receivers). It sees use down to 10 kHz with no receiver issues and no need for 
outboard filters (at this location with a 5 kW 610 kHz @ 3 miles and 50 kW 1080 kHz @ 11 miles). It 
hears the Russian Alpha stations the best of any of the receivers. Essentially, the receiver is 
spurious free up to ADC clipping...a true 100 dB dynamic range receiver.

A quick writeup I did shortly after receiving it can be found at http://www.w1vd.com/PerseusSDR.html
