Winrad is a software program
designed to implement a so-called Software Defined Radio (SDR), meant to run under Windows
XP, Windows 2000, or Windows 98SE (only up to V1.23). In a nutshell, it accepts a chunk of up to
192 kHz coming from a half-complex mixer in form of two signals, I and Q, fed to the PC
sound card. It does a fine tuning inside that segment with a point-and-click
technique, demodulates (LSB/USB/CW) what has been tuned and optionally applies
a series of filters to the results of the demodulation. The full Winrad source is now available The full source of Winrad is now available at the link below, both the first and the second part, with the component library and the instructions on how to compile. These instructions are in the file Winrad-How-To.pdf which is in the ZIP of the second part. I hope to not have made too many errors writing those instructions, I would have needed a clean PC on which to test the procedure, but I don't have it. Please signal any errors you may find, thanks.

The main Winrad screen

As an example of the filtering features, listen to these two audio samples.
In the first, a CW CQ EME is made completely inaudible by static crashes.
The second sample is the same audio file, but filtered trough the Noise Blanker feature of Winrad.
Here you can listen to the experimental despreading filter, fed with a synthetic signal (I don't have 10GHz EME capabilities).
Original signal, and here the despreaded signal.
