WiNRADiO G3XX User’s Manual

Using the keyboard, type in the frequency of one your local AM stations: For

example, for 774 kHz, type in 7 7 4 , then k for kHz, then press Enter. The

typed-in frequency will appear on the digital frequency display. Then select

the AM mode by clicking on the AM button. At this point, you should be able to

see the station peak on the real-time spectrum scope, and hear the station.

Adjust the bandwidth for optimum reception using the row of numbered

buttons at the bottom of the spectrum scope panel: these represent preset IF

bandwidth. To adjust the IF bandwidth smoothly, use the IF bandwidth control

at bottom left.

You can adjust the volume using the two buttons next to the small Volume

display. (Note also the little slider between these two buttons: you can drag it

up and down to change the volume faster.) An alternative way to adjust the

volume is by using the left/right arrow keys of the PC keyboard.

Manual tuning can be done in several ways. Let’s start with the tuning knob:

Place the mouse cursor onto the upper half of the tuning knob, at which point

you will see the cursor change to a curved double ended arrow. Hold down

the right or left mouse buttons to increase or decrease the frequency, and the

knob will rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise, respectively.

If you place your cursor onto the bottom half of the tuning knob, the direction of

the rotation will reverse. (You don’t need to move the cursor up or down to

change the rotation of the knob, simply press either the left or right mouse

button.)

The rotation increment of the tuning knob is 0.5 kHz. This can be changed

easily using the Shift, Ctrl or Alt keys: If you press the Shift key while tuning,

the increment will increase ten times (to 5 kHz). Pressing Ctrl will increase the

increment a hundred times (50 kHz). On the other hand, if you use the Alt key,

the increment becomes ten times smaller: 50 Hz.

Another way of tuning is to use the up and down arrow keys on the PC

keyboard. If your mouse has a wheel, you can also use this: you might find it

somewhat similar to using the tuning knob of a conventional receiver.

If you are unable to tune to any stations at this point, please refer to Appendix

A - Troubleshooting. There are many other ways to tune the WiNRADiO

receiver other than typing the frequency or using the tuning knob. These will

be explained in detail in the following chapters.
