WiNRADiO is now rectifying this by introducing Apple Macintosh support for our most popular receiver, the WR-1550e, a medium-range external receiver with frequency range 150 kHz to 1.5 GHz (the US version excludes cellular frequencies 825-849 and 869-894 MHz). The standard WiNRADiO WR-1550e hardware is supported by native Mac software, which is able to run on older Mac models with serial ports, as well as new models with USB ports. Most Macintosh computers which use the PPC (Power PC) processor, i.e.
The 'Power Mac' models produced beginning 1994, are supported. Earlier Mac models, using the 68000 family of processors, are not supported. For serial interface models, WiNRADiO provides a special serial cable to connect to the WR-1550e receiver.
For the USB interface models, a serial-to-USB adapter is required. WiNRADiO recommends the Keyspan adapters, such as the Keyspan USA-19 model. This will be soon available from WiNRADiO.

Full Specifications What's new in version 1.80This version improves reliability when running in 'Classic' mode on an OS X Mac. A symptom observed in the previous version was that the program could experience a port timeout and quit running. The timeout configuration for the USB to serial connection had not made sufficient allowance for OS X allocating time to other processes.GeneralPublisherPublisher web siteRelease DateJune 04, 2008Date AddedJune 04, 2008Version1.80CategoryCategorySubcategoryOperating SystemsOperating SystemsMac/OS ClassicAdditional RequirementsNoneDownload InformationFile Size712.5KBFile Namewrins180.hqxPopularityTotal Downloads463Downloads Last Week1PricingLicense ModelFree to tryLimitationsNot availablePriceFree.
Apparently, the relatively strong disturbance we got late on the 21 did little harm but a lot of good - maybe a good stir in the ionosphere was what was needed to get rid of the dominants.The first two hours on the 22 were quite good, but little of interest happened during the morning hours and throughout the day. The pattern repeated on the 23 with excellent signal strengths (and weak Europeans) allowing stations like 880 KRVN Lexington NE and 970 KQAQ Austin MN. Amazingly, west coast stations were audible at 0030 and so was the 970 Alaskan - long before their sunset. 870 KFLD Pasco WA, 1280 KRVM Eugene OR, 1280 KIT Yakima WA and 1480 KYOS Merced CA were among the logged. But again, after 0200Z little of interest except a few short openings towards the west.The evening of the 23 revealed that things were about the happen, although we had to wait until 2300 for some proper DX, like 1460 WBNS Columbus OH. The coming two full hours were rather spectacular.
Some of the stations heard: 760 KKZN Thornton CO, 930 WKY Oklahoma City OK, 1090 KMXA Aurora CO, 1210 KOKK Huron SD, 1350 WPDR Portage WI, 1550 KMRI West Valley City UT and 1580 KMBA Tempe AZ.Good signal levels throughout the night but a little less intense than the first two hours. At the time of writing, 1120Z, North American signal levels are still good, and we are enjoying 1017 Tonga, 1098 Marshall Islands and New Zealand as well.Tomorrow is departure day. We will celebrate the DX-ped with an Italian evening at Kongsfjord Guesthouse - five meals with 10 different recipies and (of course) Italian wine. The coming night could turn out just as busy as the one before.UPDATE 1450Z: Quite good conditions towards New Zealand. Some new stations logged, among them 1431 Radio Kidnappers, Hastings-Napier.
Huge signal from 1458 Radio New Zealand, Westport (heard before of course). In the living room I find voices from hundreds of towns, small cities, large cities and political and economical centers only a microsecond away. At one moment, I share CFRW's music from the 70's with a 51 year old man driving home to his Winnipeg suburb - at the next, I listen to WSM as Merle Haggard accompanies a Nashville mother making dinner for her kids. And then I switch to KFOX and imagine that in California, a newly arrived, nervous but excited Korean finds comfort in hearing his own language on the radio.
The QDFA still proves to be superior at night, while the 310, connected to my other Perseus, dominate mornings. Actually, comparing the QDFA and the 310 is a bit unfair to the QDFA since the 310 has many of the European stations in its side null. It is somewhat more sensitive towards eastern North America and South America while the QDFA with its 350 degrees bearing goes further west. To illustrate my point: At one instance on 1430, the 310 beverage had KLO on top and CKHT audible underneath, while the QDFA had KLO on top but KCLK Asotin WA close behind.

I don't know if it's the radials or condtions in general or what, but it appears that the QDFA is indeed functioning better now. I was able to null the slop from St. Petersburg 1494 enough to get a readable signal from Longyearbyen-1485. Furthermore, I tested 1557, where the 58-degrees Asia beverage had Taiwan and France (backlobe) equal strength. The North America beverages had Lithuania very strong on their backlobes, while the QDFA (which points directly towards Lithuania on its back lobe) had Taiwan soundly on top with France underneath. In short, there was no significant difference. On upper MW, the signal-to-noise levels were roughly the same or a few dB in favour of the QDFA.
Readability was mostly the same. What I heard on the QDFA I could also hear on the 310. The reduced sensitivity of the QDFA revealed itself on frequencies like 740 (Ontario) and 590 (Newfoundland) where the 310 had audible and even readable levels (590) and the QDFA couldn't hear any audio. On an undisturbed frequency like 1650 (Ontario) the QDFA and the 310 were identical. The QDFA was less sensitive to Loran C noise though, even if the Loran C station is in its front lobe. So, is the QDFA a failure? Definitely no.
It is probably just placed on the wrong spot, and even then it matches the 310 in performance, at least on the upper half of the MW band. It has a wide front lobe, and it can null a very wide angle off the back. And it is extremely quiet. It performed somewhere along the lines Dallas Lankford had predicted (or feared), given the lossy ground. Since it was an astounding success at Grayland, it should be equally good on a European site with good ground conditions. The QDFA lobe is wide. Too wide to separate stations with close bearings, say 20-30 degrees, which a well designed and long beverage can do.
We knew that. It was interesting to hear Northern Asian stations like Japan with similar signal strength as the North Asia beverage. This is not necessarily an advantage if you are pursuing daytime North America DX as Asian stations will tend to interfere.
But it means that DX-ing Japan in the evening may be possible with less interference from European and Middle East stations than is possible with a beverage. Further tests are needed to confirm this.
Following his advice we connected two preamps with a total of 24 dB to the antenna. The noise floor barely moved. Dallas also informed us that the QDFA doesn't work too well on groundwave signals. Groundwaves is all we got at the moment of writing, but it now appears that the QDFA works as it should. A beacon on 348 to the SE is attenuated some 10 dB more relative to a beacon on 399 to the NW. Groundwave signals to the SE on 657, 1134 and 1449 kHz are much more attenuated than 399 (which is in the desired direction).
The (QDFA) which was tested with great success in Grayland, WA is going to be tested in Kongsfjord too this autumn. Supports are being bought and built, and 10 (!) 5-metre fishing rods were bought at a Finnish travel fair a few weeks ago. And the 'Central Processing Unit', the phaser, arrived from the US today, thanks Dallas. Two 17Ah batteries are on their way, to power the 30mA Norton push-pull preamp (see photo). And lots of other stuff needs to be purchased, not least proper weather insulation.
The Arctic winter only meters on shore is a hostile environment. Needless to say we are very excited as to how well this new antenna design will perform here.
With the exception of Winrad, SDR software has been proprietary to the hardware. SpectraVue for the RF Space SDRs, and Perseus for the - you guessed it - Perseus SDR. Finnish DX-er Tarmo Kontro alerted me about SpectraVue 3.0 beta 19 which is in fact able to read 1600 kHz Perseus files! The beta 16 could read 800 kHz Perseus files, but I was hoping Moetronix would develop Perseus support further. And indeed that happened! Above is an image of SV 3.0 beta 19 running a 1600 kHz Perseus file from October 2008 (incidentally just as I heard a KVXR ID on 1280).
The software, although in beta, appeared to be very stable. Now, this seemed to be good news also for other users. Netbook owners!
The Perseus software is a fixed window 1024x648 (?) pixels, while most netbooks only run 1024x620, or even 1024x578 pixels. With 620 lines, running Perseus is sort of OK if you move the window a bit upwards and allow the task bar to be hidden. But SpectraVue is scaleable, leaving you in better control over the task bar and the desktop. I tested a 1600 kHz file on my MSI Wind running at turbo mode (1.98 GHz instead of the standard 1.6 GHz), and it was running very smooth, although with a high (90%) CPU load. As was pointed out by Anders Hultqvist though, a 'chopped' Perseus file (using Chuck Hutton's excellent 'WavChopper' utility) will not play at the utility's current state. I was queried about the background noise. The general noise level is low, but I also have a 'ticking' noise which is my local powerhouse, the Loran C.
It is 250 kW, 14 km away as the crow flies, and in the same direction as North America. John deere 6403 parts manual. The frequency is 100 kHz.
This is an extremely challenging adversary, if you excuse the expression. In order to avoid overload to broadband receivers like the Perseus (and many others), a 100 kHz notch filter is crucially important. Stefan Wikander made one for me many years ago, and I've copied that design (and amodified design by Dallas Lankford) for all my antenna feedlines. Search elsewhere in this blog for details.To avoid excessive Loran C noise bleed, maintaining the rest of the equipment at a 100%quality level is equally important and takes a lot of time. For me, one poor connection is detrimental.Setup: The beverage was fed with RG-316 coax to a self-made antenna connector made up of a cannibalised SE-6 switch box (an accessory to the Sherwood SE-3 sync detector). From the antenna selector to a Wellbrook 10 dB preamp w/ bypass, then to a 1:8 Wellbrook splitter/13 dB preamp w/ bypass. Bypass is important. During nights, often no preamps are engaged. During the lightest part of the day, often both preamps are engaged.
I don't remember the preamp settings at the time of the recording, but at least one preamp was on to compensate for the lossin the 1:8 splitter. Probably both.Some of the Russian stations are quite strong, such as 657, 1134, 1449 and 1521. These are 'local' stations, located on the Kola peninsula. Other Russian stations of potential interest are the VOA station on 810 (Kurkino) and one on 846 ID'ing as Radio Moscow Oblast. Location Electrostal? RF Recording for the QS1R has been in the works for some time, and a few of us have (politely, I hope) queried the whereabouts of this critically important feature. While it is still not ready, Phil Covington has written a dll for use with Winrad, which appears to be quite useful.
Winrad's latest version as of March 15, v. 1.42 build 49, supports QS1R without problems.
One can choose frequency spans from 50 to 1250 kHz, and RF recording is done by pressing the VCR-type recording button. The file saves by default to the winrad directory. While testing the remote control, I did a 30-second Perseus recording of the MW band at 1900 UTC. This is a time of the day when little interesting (from my point of view) is heard, but others might find interest in hearing signals from Eastern Europe and the Middle East (and even India). A few Western European stations also audible. I used the backlobe of my 310-degree North America beverage. Lots of Russian and Romanian stations, Iran mostly everywhere.
Winradio Wr-g33wsm
KBRW-680 and KNOM-780 audible but not strong (they improved later on). NRK Svalbard 1485 very weak; this is usually a super dominant when conditions are right.
