If the image didnt load (prnt.sc) alternative is here
Hi! Hi! Today I'm going to be explaining a little bit about a program I'd like to show you a little bit about! It's a tool called WebSDR, and it's a software that you can use to listen to the radio stations that many people can't listen to on a normal radio receiver. We are talking about spy radio stations, military stations or stations created for unknown reasons, and there are quite a few pirate broadcasts too!
But if you're not an amateur radio operator, and you're asking " Why would anybody use that?" Look, it's more like a kind of hobby. if you don't like it, I'm not forcing anyone to use it, but it is pretty easy. As a rookie it took me about 20 seconds to learn the whole of the UI. So it's numbered and you can see what means what.
The program shown here is Wide-band WebSDR in Enschede, the Netherlands (utwente.nl)
What to learn:
The big waterfall of purple and pink colors you see is called waterfall. This screen indicates where it is being transmitted. The lighter the stripe you see, the stronger the signal. But the case here is that you don't control the signal, the antenna in the Netherlands controls the signal. Every part of this window has its own frequency. I have marked this as "1" in the picture. As you move the yellow pointer over the waterfall, you'll notice that the frequency changes. For a test - Tune in to the Russian Buzzer - a military station which is often popular with radio pirates who play their music there. This software includes built-in recording so you can save your catches that seem strange to your PC. Plus, you can easily tune into any other country radio stations, even the DPRK radio with this program.
The AM, CB, FM, USB are tuners. You can use them if the station doesnt sound well to "correct" the audio.
So, i hopefully explained most things here! If you have any other questions, please tell me in the comments!
