Opening the Window to Digital Radio Communications
The WiNRADiO Digital Suite is an optional software package, a collection of digital signal processing modules, fully integrated with WiNRADiO 1000, 1500 and 3000 series receivers. Together, they represent a breakthrough in reception of digitally coded radio communications - never before has such a comprehensive collection been made available at such a low cost and so elegantly integrated with a PC-based radio receiver.
The WiNRADiO Digital Suite expands the power of your WiNRADiO receiver with numerous digital processing facilities, including:
WEFAX (Satellite Weather Fax) HF Fax Packet Radio Aircraft Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) Dual Tone Multi-Frequency Signalling (DTMF) Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) Signal Classifier Audio Oscilloscope and Spectrum Analyzer Squelch-controlled Audio Recorder and Playback
Upon installation, the WiNRADiO Digital Suite will appear as a new menu entry in the WiNRADiO receiver software, and all the above modules can be invoked from there.
Fax Module
The facsimile module enables the reception of orbiting weather satellites and HF fax. Received images are decoded and displayed in real time. Sophisticated decoding and image processing methods are used to display received images with maximum clarity.
Packet Radio
This version of AX.25 standard packet radio decoder implements protocol monitoring of two most common modulation techniques used in the amateur radio packet network: 1200 Baud FM AFSK (used above 30MHz) and 300 Baud FSK, common on amateur HF bands.
Aircraft Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)
ACARS is an air/ground network which enables aircraft to function as mobile computer terminals, with links to control stations. Although most airliners use this system, only parts of the transmission protocol are standardized or publicly accessible. This implementation of the ACARS decoder allows decoding of common types of messages, while leaving unrecognized parts in plain text form (as received).
DTMF
|
In radiocommunications, the Dual Tone Multi-Frequency coding is used in various signalling systems, while radioamateurs utilize this system to control repeaters and other remotely-controlled devices. This implementation of a DTMF decoder contains a logging facility, which allows later inspection of received codes together with time/date information. |
