Welcome to the RadioReference SW Radiogram Gateway.
This gateway serves as a portal for hobbyists wishing to find out more about copying the various broadcasts sent by the SW Radiogram program. Newcomers are encouraged to read one of the two following articles first (depending on whether you are using a PC or an Android device) so that you can get a handle on what is needed and how to acquire the necessary software

How Do I Get Started?

Connecting to Your PC or Laptop

Connecting Radios to Soundcards
Virtual Audio Devices Software for routing audio to an application. Windows, Mac and Linux packages are found here
WebSDRs and Digital Modes An introduction to using web SDRs and software for routing audio to the decoder

Web Receivers and Receiver Reviews

Live Tunable Receivers - Receivers and SDRs that can be controlled over the web
Receiver Reviews - You can find links to receiver reviews here

Antennas

HF Antennas - Lots of links, even for the experimenter
Loops - A popular topic for those in restricted environments
Would you like to protect your portable radio from static discharge? See the Great First Timer Project Thread
- Also see the Static Drain for Outside Long Wire Thread for additional ideas

Receiver and Software Applications

Amateur Radio Transceiver Control - Software that will interface with amateur radio transceivers
Receiver Software Applications - Software that will interface with various desktop receivers

Software Defined Radio Topics

Software Defined Radios - An extensive collection of links for Software Defined Radios (SDRs)
Connect the SDRPlay RSPs via TCP IP to Multipsk - An unique capability for this popular hobby software
