[Skimmertalk] Fwd: DXE-RTR-1

[Clive Whelan]

Sorry for the cross posting, but the question applies equally to any 
other SDR as to the Perseus itself

Hi list

Is anyone using this antenna switch from DX engineering with the
Perseus, and if so have you found a way to share the antenna so that
both a conventional receiver ( or transceiver) and the Perseus can
connect to the same antenna at the same time? The automatic disconnect
on transmit works very well to avoid damage to the Perseus front end.
This would enable Skimmer to be used simultaneously to the normal
operation of the transceiver. Sadly Perseus cannot be used as a
stand-alone receiver in conjunction with a transceiver because of the
latency which is in the order of 250mS.

  The manual hints at this possibility but no application notes are
provided.
