Radio Receiver - Data Base Control

 

 


Radio Receiver - Data Base Control window controls, selects, edits, and creates all of the databases and database tables used by the Cetan Nagin - Shadow Hawk Remote Signals and Communications Intelligence System to automaticly control the detection , classification, and recording of radio transmissions.

    • The Remote Location Table Contains all of the remote radio receivers' physical configuration characteristics (receiver, antennas, location, phone number, ip address , id / password, etc.) and location of each individual remote radio receiver's sites.

    • The Remote Scanning Table Contains all of the control information (frequencies, modulation type, scan bandwidth, recording table names, CTCSS/DCS, etc.) to enable the remote receiver to automaticly scan the desired radio spectrum.
