Please refer to the brocures W-Sat-email-Decoder.

17-June-2020 — Two Simultaneous Decoding Lines Running on W74PC

We extend the most useful hardware decoding feature — two lines simultaneous decoding — to W74PC card. As already in the W-PCI and W-PCIe decoders, the user can connect two different signals to two instances and do decoding and analysis at the same time.

Since there are four independent channels on a W74PC card, they are grouped as channel #1 and #2 vs. channel #3 and #4.

Please refer to the brocures W74PC. This feature is also available in the complete systems W74LAN.

All users holding a W74PC card can acquire a second license key to use this feature. Please use the Software Update form and indicate your card serial number SN#.

25-June-2019 — W-SPECTRA Release 4.0.0 Runs with the Spectrum Analysis Module (W-SA)

We incorporate the W-Spectrum Analysis (W-SA) module into the W-SPECTRA application. With this tool we improve its signal analysis ability significantly:

• In the narrowband (96 kHz) spectrum display, signals are detected and marked with different color labels.
• The detection results with all details (signal center, bandwidth, strength and those of the sub-signals) are displayed in the text output window and the "Remarks" field for capture into a database.
• W-SA works also as a "Frequency Search" strategy. Similar to the classification strategy, it searches automatically through the whole frequency band, detects, displays and inserts all signals with their important parameters into a database.
• All decoders (modes) in this version 4.0.0 match to the W-CODE 10.
• The display bandwidth of W-SPEED V4.0.0 is extended to 30 MHz.

06-March-2019 — Quantum-Leap Release W-CODE Version 10 with New Spectrum Analysis Tool (W-SA)

W-CODE 10 can be regarded as a "quantum-leap" release. This version includes mainly a new spectrum analysis and signal detection tool — W-Spectrum Analysis (SA).

Main features of this analysis tool are:

• Detect and measure all signals in a selected bandwidth (4k, 24k, 48k and 96kHz).
• Measuring parameters are signal center (Hz), bandwidth (Hz), level (dB) and detection confidence (in percent).
• Each signal can be detected in detail containing a number of sub-signals with their parameters.
• Available in FFT and FFT/Sonagram displays for all radio bands (HF, VUHF and SAT).
• Detected signals and their sub-signals are marked with their parameters in the display.
• All results are delivered on the XML remote control interface (XML RCI) for third-party development.
• Detected signals can be saved with their time-stamp as an XML file for database compatible display and analysis.
• This is a licensed option and is available for all our HW decoders and W-SPECTRA as well.

Other features in this release are:

• Substantial improvement of TETRAPOL, using the optimal soft ML decoding for data and voice frames. Enhance the voice quality to get more clear output on the speaker.

TETRAPOL voice will be decoded to audible voice to the speaker for live monitoring purpose. This requires a Live Voice (W-LV) license option. Each voice session will be saved at the same time to a wav file and the original voice frames in bits are saved to a txt file. This feature is helpful for offline decryption analysis when the voice frames are encrypted.

Other features in this release are:

• New decoder: CODAN-CHIRP.
