Ye Publique Notice! Hear Ye! BC> Know how professional spectrum analyzers cost anywhere from $10,000 on BC> up to $60,000? And how hobbyist versions from ICOM, etc, can cost an BC> arm and a leg? Well, hold on to your socks................ BC> Little did anyone know, but a cheap, but great spectrum analyzer has BC> been on the market for quite a while now in the form of WINRADIO! BC> Yes, that's right, WinRadio has spectral display capability, but no BC> one knew of it, including yours truly. But now we know! BC> Coming soon, perhaps within a day or two of reading this, is Version BC> 2.0 of the standard control program for WinRadio, that contains an RF BC> SPECTRUM SCOPE with some pretty awesome capabilities.....free upgrade, BC> to the best of my knowledge! BC> For more information, including download of the upgrade software: BC> http://www.winradio.net.au (Australia) BC> http://www.winradio.com (USA) BC> E-Mail: info@winradio.net.au BC> And now, a brief overview of the RF SPECTRUM SCOPE capabilities in the BC> coming Version 2.0 of the WinRadio control software: BC> Version 2.0 contains some basic refinements of the main BC> control program and one whopper of a new feature to make the BC> competition eat their hearts out: an RF Spectrum Scope, basically a BC> spectrum analyzer feature previously found only on very expensive BC> radios,or as an expensive add-on! Zowie! It's too cool for words! BC> One of the slickest things about the new RF Spectrum Scope is BC> the ability to position the cursor on a "blip" and instantly, WinRadio BC> tunes to that frequency! Bzzzaaaap! That quick! BC> The RF Spectrum Scope has seven selectable spectrum scan steps BC> as follows: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, & 100 kHz; two Resolution BC> Bandwidths: 6 & 17 kHz; and a slew of setup and control options, BC> including single and continuous sweeps; Max/Min/Previous/Current BC> sweeps in different colors (especially slick for identifying 2-way BC> systems that key and unkey all the time, in contrast to broadcast and BC> continuous carrier signals that are always present.) WinRadio can be BC> muted or unmuted during sweeps. BC> Sweeps can be set by either of two criteria: start-stop BC> (lower-upper limits), or center freq and bandwidth. Wicked! Utterly BC> delightful is the ability to save the spectrum screen to a very small BC> file and subsequently to reuse it as an active display, or later BC> configure it as a photograph of a sweep. Hundreds of sweeps can be BC> saved in a very small amount of disk space. A test sweep of the BC> 88-108 MHz FM Broadcast Band required all of 1250-bytes. BC> The RF Spectrum Scope, has a Zoom-In / Zoom-Out feature to BC> make the spectral display appear as detailed or not as you choose. BC> V2.0 upgrades the main control program in a number of subtle ways, BC> including an S-Meter that shows numeric values of 0-100 as well as the BC> original bargraph display. The RF Spectrum Scope shows the relative BC> S-meter numbers, too! (A new scanning Squelch was added to the main BC> program, too.) BC> Spectrum sweeps can be set to pretty much any desired limits, BC> though the narrower, the more efficient, of course. I'm not sure what BC> the sweep speed is, but it would be measured in steps per second, and BC> therefore is probably sync'd to the Scan/Search rate for the main BC> radio at 50 per second. Given the seven sweep steps mentioned above, BC> it is possible to sweep 20-MHz of spectrum in under 10-sec. BC> If V2.0 of the WinRadio software isn't available for download at the BC> above two Web sites when you read this, check back periodically during BC> the coming week, as I'm told it will be released shortly.
