WiNRADiO G31/33/39/65/69DDC HF/VHF/UHF


WiNRADiO's superior performance results from its innovative, direct-sampling, digital down-converter architecture along with the use of leading-edge components and design concepts. These all result in a very high IP3, wide dynamic range, excellent sensitivity, selectivity and tuning accuracy. These key features create a receiver in a class of its own, with wide application potential, at a very affordable price.

Key Facts

  • go2signals support (G31/33/35/39), (G65/69 under evaluation from shoc)
  • Direct sampling, Digital down-conversion
  • Excellent dynamic range
  • Ready for Phase-coherent system configurations
  • Three parallel demodulator channels
  • USB and LAN interface (G65/69)

WiNRADiO G65DDC & G69DDC

The receiver interfaces to a Windows-compatible PC via USB 3.0 (full bandwidth), or 1 Gb Ethernet LAN (max. 16 MHz bandwidth) port with PoE (Power over Ethernet functionality according to the IEEE 802.3at standard).
For the highest bandwidth use, connection is best via USB3 for short distances (up to 3m). As the G69DDCe is equipped with an Ethernet socket, semi-remote connection to a computer is possible via a long Ethernet cable (up to 100m in length). For longer distances or when located in a busy or remote network, the Networking CSO option is recommended.

WiNRADiO WR-G69DDC
  • The WiNRADiO WR-G69DDC is a top performance, software-defined, wideband, ultra-fast search speed 3 GHz/s, HF/VHF/UHF/SHF receiver. Two independent and mutually exclusive inputs are provided, one for each range: 8 kHz to 80 MHz and 43 MHz to 8 GHz. A real-time 80/34 MHz-wide spectrum analyzer is included with a 32 MHz wide instantaneous bandwidth available for recording, demodulation and further digital processing over the whole frequency range.
  • The entire 32 MHz DDC (digitally down-converted) bandwidth is available for recording and demodulation, and ideal for hopping frequencies analysis. Three demodulators allow the simultaneous reception and decoding of radio signals within the entire band.
  • The WR-G69DDCe also features optional external reference frequency inputs and outputs as well as 1PPS pulse input. In addition, stereo analog output is also possible, as well as wide audio (10 Hz-150 kHz). The special data port offers numerous possibilities which include GPIO (general purpose I/O), HSP (high speed data output), or traditional RS232 interface ;-).
WiNRADiO WR-G65DDC
  • The WiNRADiO WR-G65DDC 'EXCALIBUR Sigma' is a top performance, direct-sampling, software-defined, wide-band, two-in-one HF/VHF receiver with two frequency ranges from 1 kHz to 88 MHz and from 118 MHz to 190 MHz. The receiver has two independent and mutually exclusive inputs, one per each range. It includes a real-time 88 MHz wide spectrum analyzer (72 MHz in VHF range) and up to 64 MHz wide instantaneous bandwidth available for recording, demodulation and further digital processing.

WiNRADiO G31DDC/G33DDC

WiNRADiO WR-G31DDC and G33-DDC are a high-performance, low-cost, direct-sampling, software-defined, shortwave receiver with a frequency range from 9 kHz to 50 MHz. It includes a real-time 50 MHz-wide spectrum analyzer and 2 MHz (G31DDC) or 4 MHz (G33DDC) wide instantaneous bandwidth available for recording, demodulation and further digital processing.

The receiver's superior performance results from its innovative, direct-sampling, digital down-converter architecture along with the use of leading-edge components and design concepts. These all result in a very high IP3, wide dynamic range, excellent sensitivity, selectivity and tuning accuracy. These key features create a receiver in a class of its own, with wide application potential, at a very affordable price.
