Cross Country Wireless release new SDR receiver and program

Cross Country Wireless have just released a
new SDR receiver and SDR program.

The *Sentinel 2 SDR* receiver is based on the SDR-4+ receiver covering 0.85
to 70.5 MHz but uses CAT control emulating an Elecraft K3 over a USB serial
port. Using a USB serial port driver that can be easily installed either by
download or Windows Update avoids any installation problems.

Using CAT control also allows the Sentinel 2 to be used with existing SDR
programs like HDSDR and also directly with CW Skimmer and other digital
mode programs.

The web page includes three YouTube videos showing operation and a quick
view of the settings with the Sentinel SDR, CW Skimmer and HDSDR programs.

The price remains the same as the SDR-4+ receiver which will continue in
production for the foreseeable future.

We have also released the Sentinel SDR program. This uses CAT control to
control the Sentinel 2 but it also has some interesting features. From the
web page:

As the Sentinel 2 is a true zero IF receiver clicking on the display moves
the frequency of interest to the centre of the display. The display is 48
kHz wide and there is a zoom facility to enlarge the display to 12 kHz wide
with greater resolution. This is particularly useful for CW operation as
clicking on a CW signal moves it into the filter which can be a narrow as
50 Hz. A fine tuning knob with 10 Hz steps is perfect for precision tuning
and is ideal for use with touchscreens and mouse operation.

In addition frequency entries can be made by typing the frequency into any
of the Memory, VFO-A or VFO-B text boxes and clicking recall or update. In
Memory 1, 2 and 3 clicking on Save saves the current frequency for later
use. Transceiver split or crossband operation is already ready for use.
Options to pause the display to save CPU cycles and change the display
colour to black and white are also included.
A UTC clock in the top program bar and a button to the latest Space Weather
bulletin complete the program features.

The program also has the latest version of the noise measurement software
so that it can be used to send data to the RSGB noise measurement campaign.
This program can be used with Windows XP, 7, 8 and 10 and is freeware.

The software also has transmitter functions for the development of new SDR
transceivers. A remote PTT port on port 8500 allows the SDR program to
interface directly with APRS Messenger and Digital Messenger without any
messy unreliable comm port bodges.
