This 1500 series improves on the very popular WR-1000 series with enhanced SSB facilities, extended frequency range and improved performance. The frequency range is 150 kHz to 1.5 GHz (the US version excludes cellular frequencies 825-849 and 869-894 MHz. Our version has no breaks in its coverage.) The improved SSB filter will be of greatest benefit to individuals who enjoy listening to "hams" and other low power SSB traffic that takes place on crowded bands.
The WiNRADiO WR-1500i hardware/software package consists of the receiver card, Windows-based software, a start-up antenna and a 150-page book which provides introduction to radio scanning, many interesting hints and frequency lists.
This low-cost receiver was intended for PC users looking for interesting applications for their PCs, scanner enthusiasts and radio amateurs. It is increasingly found in many specialized professional applications as well.
No cables or power supplies needed - no clutter on your desk. Just plug in and scan!
The WiNRADiO WR-1500e is an external version of the WR-1500i that provides the same scanning features and specs as the internal card. Now you can take winradio on the road with you, or use it with your PC that doesn't have an ISA slot available.
The WR-1500e hardware/software package consists of the receiver unit, Windows-based software, RS-232 cable, multi-voltage power adaptor, start-up antenna and a users manual.
With
the The WiNRADiO WR-1500 series you can:
Scan
for exotic stations from far-away places
Eavesdropon
aircraft and maritime communications
Intercept
clandestine stations
Monitor
emergency services
Receive
satellite and Space Shuttle signals
Witness
combat transmissions making history
WiNRADiO
puts you back in charge over the information you receive - long before
someone has sanitized it, decided it to be fit for your consumption, and
put it on your local TV or FM radio news network. In today's fast-paced,
action-packed world of radio communications, thousands of fascinating new
situations are created every day, just waiting to be investigated.
FEATURES
The
ISA card plugs into the motherboard of an IBM-compatible PC. Up to eight
cards can be controlled by one PC. There is a connector for the antenna
and an external speaker.
The
software features numerous tuning and scanning options, virtually unlimited
memories and a rich on-line help facility. Support is also provided for
software developers wishing to write their own applications code for WiNRADiO
The
WiNRADiO handbook provides an introduction to WiNRADiO and radio scanning,
with a start-up list of interesting stations to try-even NASA space program
frequencies! It also contains all the interfacing information needed by
programmers to create their own WiNRADiO applications.
