Man you can program some stuff into that thing! Older yes but what a great way to go. Over all this is a great rig, and with a 302 remote all the better. Add in the NR on the 920 and in comes the flutter. The 920 has able to hear nearly every thing the PEG was BUT the background noise was still there. Noise in the RX'er of 2K is what got it moved to V/UHF in the first place. What the 2K couldn't hear the Peg had no issues with. I did do side by sides with 2 other hf(+) radios on the bench and hands down the Peg was the better rig. I was looking at Hamstation Ultra but one email convinced me that guy was not worth sending my money too, what an a**.

I used the TT software and I BOUGHT N4PY's. I can take stations out on 7284 completely and still hear whats going on on 85. They go from 8KHz to 300hz, IF shift is incredible. All of these can be changed to suit your style and mode. Filtering is superb with 9 filters showing in the TT software and 12 in N4PY's. You will NOT get the watery sound or flutter associated with "modern" DSP's. Take the RF Gain back a tad and all you hear are signals and the occasional static pop. You hit that Noise button and signals pop right out. This is my first foray into SDR, and granted it's older tech, I have not been disappointed.įirst and foremost, the receiver is quiet, very quiet. I'd like to see a black case version and maybe a little flashier software package, something like the Flex radio programs, but all in all I am very satisfied. I don't get on the radio as much as I used to, or spend as much time contesting, so I wasn't looking for a contest caliber radio.

The Pegasus features a band sweep feature, but I have mine operating in conjunction with SDR Console V3 so I get a full time bandscope to watch band conditions. You can also vary the TX bandwidth out to I believe 6KHz. The 330Hz filter doesn't really cut it in crowded band conditions. I would have preferred filters down to 100Hz for CW work. Sounds better than the old TS870 from years ago. RX audio from the Pegasus is fed to my Logitech 5.1 system which really makes the radio sing. You can listen to shortwave broadcast at 6KHz and it sounds great.
What I do like about the Pegasus is the ability to change the RX bandwidth on the fly from 8KHz down to 330Hz. I didn't expect the Pegasus to compare to my PROIII and it doesn't.

I have since added a 302R remote and purchased Carl, N4PY's Pegasus Plus software package. As stated, the radio arrived in mint condition, and had the optional cooling fan on the rear panel. Aside from that it is a pleasure to operate. I remembered reading about these radios, along with the Kachina years ago, but had my doubts as to their performance in the real world.įirst of all, it is not a software defined radio, but more a software "controlled" radio. I ended up making a deal for a pretty much mint Pegasus. I recently had the misfortune of the transmitter in my PROIII dying on me.
