A Hybrid Receiver of the next Generation

The popular IF-receiver RadioJet has been vastly improved and expanded by an additional IQ-receiver that offers you a large panoramic display. Additionally, the frequency range was extended beyond the shortwave bands. We call this combination of various receivers and special control systems ‘Hybrid Receiver’. Now it has become possible to make use of different demodulation systems. At the same time, you can select different frequency bands and antennas. All these features make the monitoring of the bands a lot easier. As a further option you can add another SDR of your choice (…if your computer can still process the data).

The main receiver corresponds to our successful RadioJet with its 24 kHz-wide panorama. For the RTL-2832 IQ-receiver, two converters have been added to its mixer. That required a major extension of the software which not only simply receives the frequency, e.g. the 2m/70cm ham radio band, but also decodes it to make the reception of Sat-/FAX-pictures in the 136-138 MHz range possible. You can also listen to FM-stations with the multiplex baseband and the RDS-text being displayed. Additional hardware was necessary for the frequency-controlled antenna switching. We also added an internal USB-hub so you don’t have to use the USB output of your PC.

The RadioJet 1305P offers a large multiband-panoramic display with synchronous, asynchronous and independent frequency control. Every click into the spectrum can control a different receiver or a special band segment. And all this done by a radio the size of the RJ 1102S! Power is supplied via the USB output of your PC. So portable operation with your notebook is possible.

Large Frequency range and large Panorama Display!

The frequency range has been extended far beyond 1600 MHz, the spectrums are scalable with a panoramic display of up to 3.2 MHz per IQ-receiver. All in all, a maximum of four receivers can be operated independently on different frequencies (…provided your computer can handle all the data….)
It should be mentioned that because of the high- quality front end the IQ-receivers RTL 2832U have a noticeably higher sensitivity and stability due to the excellent shortwave capabilities of the RadioJet which have been implemented for the RadioJet 1305P

Unique Features

Synchronous: Each of the IQ-receivers can display its own spectrum and you can listen to a radio station. If you change the frequency, you will hear nothing, of course.

Asynchron: You can still listen to BBC on 198 KHz for example and at the same time scroll through the complete shortwave range. Only when you double-click on a peak in the spectrum display, a new station will be selected and become audible.

Independent: The receiver can record BBC on 198 KH, for example, while you are listening to signal in the 20m-band. Or you are listening to a FM-station and your neighbors are mightily impressed by the oscillating spikes of the multiplex base band spectrum. In the mean time, the FM-antenna was selected automatically without disturbing the recording.

All these possibilities require a considerable amount of hard- and software and that is why we call the RJ 1305+ not only a ‘receiver’, but ‘Hybrid-Receiver’.

Multi Band Receiving and Recording

The possibility of operating up to four receivers simultaneously makes multi-band recording possible which currently many listeners enjoy. The RadioJet 1305P can receive and record the 20m-, 40m- and 80m band independently and at the same time. The complete storable width is determined by the number of the IQ-receivers and their sample rate, namely two internal IQ-receivers plus external receivers, e.g., 2*3.2=6.4 + 2MHz Excalibur, Perseus etc = more than 8 MHz of panoramic display.
