Ham radio / amateur radio, CB & shortwave software

eSoftAnywhere DSP & more

from eSoftAnywhere LLC

Among other things, eSoftAnywhere DSP & More performs DSP (digital signal processing) on radio audio signals. It is primarily intended for use by ham radio / amateur radio, shortwave listeners, and CB (citizens band) radio operators. In spite of many advanced features, having extensive context sensitive online help and a visual oriented interface makes learning and using eSoftAnywhere DSP & More come very naturally. Where other software and hardware DSP implementations fail to offer DSP that it is actually usable, eSoftAnywhere DSP has easily selectable and configurable presets, a point and click user interface for frequency selection, and several different user selectable visual representations of audio to choose from and makes setting and configuring DSP filtering options easy and intuitive.

Software Functions and Features

·        Easy to use for ham radio / amateur radio, shortwave listeners, and CB (citizens band) radio operators alike with extensive context sensitive online help

·        DSP (digital signal processing) of audio signals for improved radio reception and “speech processing” features for pre-processing transmission audio

·        AGC (automatic gain control) filtering

·        Automatic notch filtering (removes man made, predicable, and digital signals)

·        Automatic peaking filter (pass only steady, predictable, man made, and digital signals)

·        Noise reduction (with variable aggression and/or presets)

·        “Brick wall” filters for reject below, reject above, multiple band pass ranges, and reject band

·        Instant filtering on/off for quick signal comparison and radio tuning with zero delay

·        Complete filter control by frequency, graphical display point and click, or preset filter selection

·        DSP filter presets may be “stacked”; for example selecting the “SSB 700 HZ” filter and then “NOISE REDUCTION – MEDIUM” results in both filters being active)

·        User made presets consisting of any combination of filter settings may be created and saved

·        CTCSS (continuous tone coded squelch system) tone decoding and audio recording to disk activation - can record audio only when a selected CTCSS tone is present

·        DTMF (dual tone multiple frequency - telephone touch tone) tone generation, decoding and audio recording to disk activation - can begin recording when a selected DTMF sequence is received

·        Squelch and squelch activated audio recording to disk - can begin recording when a squelch threshold is broken - useful by itself and in combination with DTMF and/or CTCSS activated recording

·        Graphical displays showing both before and after processing representations of audio

·        Multiple graphical displays to choose from for assisting in filter selection and fine differentiation between before DSP processing and after DSP processing

·        Digital ‘voice-keyer’ feature may be used to transmit canned phrases such as your call sign, location, and etc - especially useful for amateur radio operation (such as contesting!)

·        Full featured radio contact logbook with “Query” and “Export” ability

·        Includes detailed radio operation reference information such as the RST system, Q signals, QN signals, CW pro-signs, CW abbreviations, international multi-language shortwave broadcast database viewing and complex querying and filtering (databases available free to radio amateurs via ILGRadio), international call sign allocation, Morse code reference information, etc.

·        Hot-key assignments to incorporate other favorite radio enthusiast or audio processing applications

Known Issues

·        The program can occasionally lock up when trying to perform audio processing on very slow machines. At least a 350 Mhz machine (bare minimum) is required to use this software for audio processing very successfully.

·        The “standard sample rates” (8000, 11,025(the default), 44,100) can occasionally work incorrectly on some sound cards and cause choppy audio. Use any other sample rate values if you experience this problem.
