You may now run your SDR program Operation on HF.

Plug in your W-SDRX1-MK3 receiver

Switch the SDR toggle switch to HF, Red LED will light

Tune SDR Radio on the band you wish to receive

Reception in this mode is from 100KHz to 30MHz

Input antenna is HF

Operation on VHF/UHF:

Click OFF the Shift box

Switch the SDR toggle switch to VHF, Blue LED will light

Tune SDR Radio on the band you wish to receive

Reception from 30MHz to 2GHz

Input antenna is VHF

The SDR-radio program is very easy to work.

You have all modes for decoding as well lots of memories broadcast bands, amateur bands etc.
