Q: I am getting a Perseus firmware download error when I start the program.
A: If you have the latest Nvidia display drivers installed try un-installing these and rebooting then check again. There would appear to be something 'odd' with the drivers and the Perseus software.
Q: Does the Perseus SDR run on Windows 7.
A: Yes! You'll need to install the drivers as an 'Administrator'. The main program runs fine under 32bit and 64bit OSes. The 64bit drivers on this site will allow you to use the Perseus under x64 chip sets. Currently Microtelecom do not have a signed 64bit driver which will load under Windows 7.
Q: Does the Perseus support DRM.
A: Yes! You can use Dream or VT Merlin Communications DRM software radio* to listen to DRM broadcasts. The Perseus GUI has a native DRM button on the modes menu.
Q: How do I download the Perseus driver software.
A: You'll need to email Microtelecom for them to send you a link to download the current 32bit driver. For the 64bit driver use the link on the right hand side menu.
