Winrad.org New Winrad Release v1.6.1 (22 Feb. 2010)see below for details Welcome to Winrad.orgby Jeffrey Pawlan, WA6KBLWinrad is a freeamateur radio program conceived byJeffrey Pawlan, WA6KBL, and written by Alberto, I2PHD, that implements many Software Defined Radio(SDR) functions which are needed for weaksignal reception including EME,troposcatter, cloudscatter, and very long distance microwaveterrestrial contacts. It also works well for general HF reception.Winrad will accept input from any Windows soundcard, from Virtual Audio Cable, or direct digital input from several SDR receivers which have appropriate drivers written for Winrad in the form of a DLL plus support files. These files must be installed in the Winrad progam directory in order to run. You must do all installation and run Winrad with Administrator privileges.Alberto, I2PHD wrote the code from its beginning until retiring from it in Oct, 2008.

Jim Austin and Charles Buse helped from 2008 - 2010. We do not have any programmers at this time. If you are interested in helping, note that you will need to use the Borland/Codegear/Embarcadero IDE version 2007.

Please contact Jeffrey Pawlan.If you start from the original source code and make a new program that is not part of this project, please do not call it Winrad as this name is my own creation and the programWinrad will remain on this website which I own.You may contact me, Jeffrey Pawlan (WA6KBL) at (jpawlan at yahoo dot com). All recent versions of Winrad run under Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 1.6.1 has been tested on Windows 7 (32 and also 64 bit) with a Perseus. An earlier version v1.23 is also provided because it will still run under Windows 98SE.

There are problems with Windows 10.Discussion GroupThe yahoo discussion group for Winrad has been inactive for a long time so it will be discontinued.New changes and fixed in the new version 1.6.1OmniRig working very well nowThe last radio used is saved so when you start Winrad again your radio will be automatically selected.The last state of the I/Q mode is stored so if you use I/Q swapped, Winrad will remember that and come up with this selected.The issue of the Internationalization: use of '.' Or ',' decimal fraction separators depending on country has been fixed.New: you may adjust the parameters of the AGC buttons by right-clicking on them. A pop-up window will appear and you can change the values. Slow and Fast AGC are separate except for one common parameter.

Note that you can 'break' Winrad by moving the values too far.

In earlier entries I have mentioned the Softrock SDR receivers which I have been loaned and have been playing around with.These little receivers are single band, fixed frequency affairs. Basically you just feed their output into your computer soundcard, chose one of the many SDR software packages and away you go.My local amateur friend who loaned me the softrock has recently purchased a Flex Radio HF transceiver. I called around to see it in his shack last week and had a quick tune around and it looks an impressive piece of kit. He is still learning how to use it and this is where I think the SDR rigs fall down at the moment. They are nowhere near 'Plug and Play'.

Now thats fine in itself as part of the hobby is about learning and self improvement. The problem here thogh is you don't need to learn about radio its computer knowledge that counts. Knowing which operating system will or wont work with your software, installing USB drivers, dealing with incompatible soundcards, not your usual radio related problems.I have been dealing with some of this myself this week.

My friend having purchased the new rig offered me the loan of his Elektor Hf receiver. Covering up to 30 mhz this little receiver is an interesting device but:The best way to control it is to use the 'Winrad' software to which a file can be added that allows it to fully control the Elektor receiver. The problem is however that my main PC uses Windows 7. Windows 7 doesn't like Winrad- it says it is incompatible. Now Windows 7 isn't telling the full truth as I did have the little SDR working well for about 10 minutes or so before Winrad and Windows 7 disagreed and the PC locked up.

Now of course Windows 7 won't even open Winrad, or if it does the software instantly locks and cannot be closed!This isn't too bad a problem because I have an older PC here, which I use for HF data work that runs Windows XP. The only thing now is it is a slow machine 1.3Ghz CPU and 512Mb of memory, it doesn't seem to want to run Winrad.

I am going to try to remove as much unnecessary software as I can from this machine and see if I can get it to work but this may take some time.My point is this, no doubt many SDR transceivers offer superb facilities. But this morning I was able to pop into my shack- I had a few free minutes and take a quick listen on the bands. I turned on my 20 odd year old Kenwood R5000 receiver. I didn't have to wait for it to boot up, it didn't need to recognise a soundcard or any drivers- it was on- instantly and ready for use! What's more, when I was finished it switched off just as easily. As well as this it doesn't have any noisy monitors or peripherals that cause hash on the HF bands. At the moment I am not sure that there are any SDR radios that rival it!
