Setup

To use a Microtelecom Perseus HF receiver, compile and install the libperseus-sdr:

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/Microtelecom/libperseus-sdr/releases/download/v0.8.2/libperseus_sdr-0.8.2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libperseus_sdr-0.8.2.tar.gz
cd libperseus_sdr-0.8.2/
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
perseustest

Note

You must always add the attenuation option in the settings for the Perseus SDR as the device defaults to -30dB of attenuation if you do not add the option and disable the attenuation options.

The ADC dithering, preamp and preselector options should probably be added as well, regardless of whether you have them activated or not (although I am not sure of the default state of these options).
