I saw your post about the availability of the Perseus SDR. They are still available brand new through HRO. I ordered one in the fall of 2019.
HRO said they were getting them new from SSB-Electronic GmbH in Germany.
Thanks for the tip, Brian! The price is quite competitive at $749.95 US as well–certainly the best option for those of us living in the US.
The Microtelecom Perseus SDR
I just received the notification below from Microtelecom. I find it very encouraging that they are still tweaking and working on the Perseus software (which is quite mature at this point). No major upgrades here, but they’re worthy updates.
Note that this is a BETA release for the client and server versions:

A new Perseus release is now in the BETA phase.
Here is the download link:http://microtelecom.it/perseus/Perseusv40c_beta.zip
There are quite a few changes in both client and server.
Client
-The servers map is no longer integrated in the Perseus software (when clicking on the “Show Map” button, a default browser window will open).
The link between the map and the Perseus software is done by a tool (included in the package) called mttps.exe. During the first run, administrative privileges are required to properly register the MTTP protocol.
-Buttons font rendering was modified to address some users that reported “blocky” or hardly readable labels on some buttons.
-Audio Delay: this new feature inserts a configurable delay in the DSP chain, please refer to the release notes (included in the package) for more information about it.
Server
-Support for the delay feature
-Restarting the server is no longer needed after a DNS change
-Blacklist support: using a text file (as explained in the release notes) it is possible to reject connections from an IP address or family of IP addresses (server software settings has a new section).
Enjoy this new release!
