Using WiNRADiO
When you first start WiNRADiO, you are presented with a radio receiver interface. The
image below shows the main parts of the control panel.
The following few sections document each of the parts in detail.
Basic Controls
Frequency Readout
The frequency readout shows the current receiver frequency.
Below this is another display which shows one of the following:
the callsign and/or a comment relating to the current tuned
frequency, taken from the frequency memory (entered by the user), or the description of the
current band. The band description is user-definable under ‘Auto-stepping’ in the Configure
menu.
To enter a frequency, simply type the desired frequency using the keyboard. As soon as you
press a number or the decimal point, the frequency readout will enter the edit mode, allowing
you to enter the frequency. The old frequency is automatically overwritten. If you want to
edit the existing frequency, click on the readout with the left mouse button to highlight the
current frequency, position the cursor as desired, reclick the left mouse button, make the
desired changes, then press the Enter key. To change the frequency unit (kHz, MHz or GHz),
press K, M or G respectively while the display is highlighted or in edit mode.
To tune the receiver to the new frequency, press the Enter key. To cancel and return the
previous display, press the Escape key.
In each mode, the frequency readout only displays the most significant digits which affect
tuning and reception. The display resolution is as follows: 1 Hz in CW, LSB and USB, 10
Hz in FMN, 100 Hz in AM and 1 kHz in FMW.
In FMW, the lowest tunable frequency is 30 MHz. If you attempt to tune to a frequency
below 30 MHz, the receiver will automatically change the mode to AM, and disable the
FMW button.
Tuning Knob
The tuning knob adjusts the frequency by the smallest suitable increment for
the current mode. In LSB, USB and CW it is 10 Hz; AM is 100 Hz; FMN is
500 Hz, and FMW is 50 kHz.
To use the knob, position the mouse cursor over the top half of the knob, and
the cursor will look like this: . To decrease the frequency, click the left
