WaveNode products fill the gap between laboratory R.F. Instruments and simple Digital Wattmeter Simultaneous monitoring of RF power/swr on two or four separate coax sensors. Calculates SWR, peak and average power for display on the built-in LCD display. Bargraph displays of peak power are shown when the RF power exceeds 2 watts. Direct USB computer interface on all products for Microsoft OS XP, 7, Vista, 8 and 10.. 16-bit RISC microprocessor, 12-bit A/D converter, and precision peak/ average detection circuitry for each sensor. 40 Khz sampling of the RF envelope provides a digital Oscilloscope view of the modulation envelope Spectrum Analysis monitors the data content and bandwidth of the modulation speech or data stream. Monitor Intermodulation and splatter real-time as you operate. Additional monitoring circuitry is provided for station DC voltage/current (WN-2). Four digital outputs allow monitoring and control with remote PC (WN-2 and WN-2d). Four additional analog inputs allow real-time monitoring on the local LCD display or remotely through USB interconnect to a host PC (WN-2 and WN-2d). Relay provided to trigger on excess SWR for equipment protection (WN-2 and WN-2d only). All data viewing and control can be done locally or remotely via PC. 7

Modulation Scope Modulation pattern on SSB. Scope shows actual RF Voltage at the coax in Volts Peak-Peak. The scope hardware/software is in the WN-2. Your soundcard is NOT used. 13
Spectrum Analyser The Spectrum Analyzer provides DC to 20 KHz modulation analysis. Has the features found in a laboratory Instrument for sound/distortion Analysis. 14
Test Tones Menu Uses your sound card and Rigblaster (or equivalent) to provide Sine, Pulse+Sine, Dual Tones for measuring IM, transmitted bandwidth, and Messages. Pressing the button activates the tone for 3 seconds, and the results can be viewed on the Spectrum Analyser or Oscilloscope. Perfect for observing Linear Amplifier output without the use of a function generator. Question: Why pulse+sine Modulation? Answer: The pulse energy spreads audio energy from 0-20Khz into the input, and allows observation of the transmitter bandwidth immediately with the Spectrum Analyser. Pulse + Sine function Input 15
QuickView Modulation Spectrum For realtime, continuous monitoring Fast,continuous viewing of IM and Splatter components into adjacent frequencies. The energy is divided into 400Hz segments and compared to DC -3 KHz energy. A typical SSB energy spectrum 16
