WiNRADiO G33DDC HF Receiver

Introduction
Welcome to the
WR-G33DDC
receiver, the
Excalibur Pro
. This receiver is an
advanced version of its predecessor, the award-winning
WR-G31DDC
receiver, the
Excalibur
. Like many WiNRADiO receivers in the past, this
advanced software-defined receiver breaks many new grounds. Some of its
features, such as the real-time 50 MHz wide spectrum analyzer, three
simultaneously operating demodulators, the capability to record 4 MHz wide
RF spectrum, wide dynamic range, “brick wall” filtering, frequency stability, test
and measurement functions or even its integrated DRM decoder, would be
very hard to find in such combination in any contemporary receiver,
irrespective of its price. Its
Pause
function is the world’s first in an HF receiver.
We hope you will make good use of the numerous real-time spectrum
analyzers with their graphical tuning and their waterfall functions, continuous
selectivity adjustment in 1 Hz steps, down to 1 Hz filter bandwidth, the highly
accurate S-meter, the convenient and sophisticated tuning facilities, the DDC
and audio recorders, the task scheduler, the logger and the built-in frequency
database.
The WiNRADiO
Excalibur Pro
will take you right to the leading edge of what is
possible with today’s technology. As the name
Excalibur
suggests, a magical
sword synonymous with power and bravery, this is not just a receiver; it is a
powerful radio communications instrument in a class of its own. We have
crafted it with meticulous workmanship, utmost care, attention to detail and
dedication to excellence, to make it suitable for the most demanding of
applications. We are proud to present you with this instrument and wish you
much success and many hours of enjoyment in putting your WiNRADiO
Excalibur Pro
to a good use.
One of the great benefits and advantages of software-defined radio is its
flexibility and potential for further improvement. By continuously improving the
software, we continue increasing our customers’ return on their investment
long after the receiver purchase. However, this makes producing printed user
manuals impractical, because a printed version may become already obsolete
by the time the manual gets printed and bound. This is why we supply a
complete user’s guide for this receiver in a soft form only. Saving paper is, of
cour
se, yet another side benefit. The user’s guide in a PDF format, will be
installed on your computer as part of the installation process, with a shortcut
placed on the desktop.
