SysLabs RadioControl is a software platform for radio device control and application development. It operates on _Windows_ versions from Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 through _Windows 11_. The software is available in Lite, Standard, and Professional editions, each including Frontpanel for direct radio control, a Frequency Database for management, and a Memory File for channel operations. Features include frequency identification, memory scanning, and graphical spectrum views with bitmap export capability. The Professional Edition supports multi-device control and utilizes radio device-internal scanners, achieving scan rates of **40-60 steps per second** compared to the RadioControl-internal scanner's **10-20 steps per second**. Supported devices for internal scanning include AOR AR-5000, AR-8200, AR-8600, AR-ONE, R&S EB200, and various Icom receivers and transceivers. RadioControl supports older devices such as ICOM IC-R71, IC-R7000, IC-706, IC-735, YAESU FRG-8800, and FRG-9600, extending their control capabilities. The platform offers APIs for integration and supports import/export with formats from VisualRadio, SCANcontrol, shoc Radio Manager, WiNRADiO, AOR ACEPAC-3A, as well as generic Text, CSV, and HTML.

This documentation effort is intended to outline some of the primary steps to take in activating a SOTA Peak. It includes some of the planning steps, the activation, and post-activation steps. This outline is designed to serve as a general guideline for SOTA Activators

Improve the FRG-7 operation adding a home made digital frequency display. The author explains the challenges of using the analogue dial on the FRG-7 and how a digital display can be a useful solution. The page provides detailed information about the FRG-7's design and frequency conversion process. It also includes step-by-step instructions on how to connect an external frequency counter to display the kHz part of the frequency.

The **Yaesu FRG-100** shortwave receiver, introduced in 1992, operates across a frequency range of 50 kHz to 30 MHz, accommodating AM, LSB, USB, and CW modes, with an optional narrow-band FM capability. Its physical dimensions are 238 x 93 x 243 mm, with a weight of 3 kg, making it suitable for both portable and fixed station deployments. Power options include standard mains voltage or 12VDC, providing operational flexibility for diverse listening environments. The front panel integrates a manual tuning knob, an analogue signal strength meter, and an LCD display that provides critical information such as frequency, operating mode, memory channel, and time. Users can configure various operational parameters, including tuning steps and bandwidth filters, to optimize reception for specific signals. This review highlights the FRG-100's straightforward interface and its utility for shortwave listening enthusiasts. The design emphasizes user-friendly adjustments for settings, which contributes to its appeal among those interested in general coverage reception.

Demonstrates the construction of an active loop converter specifically designed for the Low Frequency (LF) bands, addressing common localized noise interference in LF reception. The design integrates a sharply tuned circuit and a tuned loop antenna, utilizing the loop as the sole tuned inductive element. By applying positive feedback, the converter significantly increases the loop's effective Q, achieving factors between 1000 and 2000, which sharpens tuning and reduces noise. The circuit employs an _NE602_ mixer stage, feeding its output to an HF receiver, with a crystal-locked local oscillator at 4 MHz. A 20-turn, 0.8-meter square loop antenna with 500 uH inductance is detailed, connected via 2 meters of figure 8 flex cable. The converter offers three selectable frequency bands: 195-490 kHz, 150-220 kHz (including the New Zealand amateur band), and 128-160 kHz (covering the European amateur band). Performance measurements indicate an effective 3dB bandwidth of approximately 100 to 200 hertz at 200 kHz. The article provides insights into component selection, including an _LF353_ op-amp and a trifilar wound transformer on a ferrite core. Sensitivity figures are presented, showing 7.5 uV of converted output per 1 uV/meter signal strength into a 50-ohm load, or 37.5 uV into an _FRG7_ receiver, highlighting its capability to extract weak signals from noise.
