IR Remote Control for Shortwave Radios & Scanners

The JRC NRD-535 is an older receiver but it has a very extensive set of features for casual shortwave listening and DXing. The SWL IR Remote is a full-featured remote for the NRD-535 that gives enough control to make shortwave listening a real pleasure. The only analog controls that JRC has implemented in the computer interface are the PBS (Pass Band Shift), and BWC (Band Width Control).

Features

• Turn receiver on and off.
• Release and resume remote control to allow front panel operation and return to remote operation.
• Enter frequency directly to 1Hz in the range of 100kHz to 30MHz.
• Increase or decrease frequency using CH +/- in steps of 1Hz, 10Hz, 100Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz, 9kHz, 10kHz, 100kHz, and 1MHz in the range of 100kHz to 30MHz.
• Set up to five (5) User Tuning Steps. Useful for detuning frequencies by one half of filter bandwidth or use a very small frequency step to quickly zero-beat in SSB mode.
• Recall last directly entered frequency.
• Directly select memory channels.
• Move up and down through memory channels using CH +/-.
• Start and Stop simulated programmed scans.
• Move memory frequency and mode to VFO.
• Write VFO frequency and mode to selected memory channel.
• Toggle between AM, LSB, USB, ECSS - LSB, ECSS - USB, and FM (configurable), or CW (configurable).
• Select VFO or Memory mode.
• Control of BWC and PBS.
• Move BWC, and PBS to full CW, CCW, or default settings independently.
• Select Fast AGC, Slow AGC, or AGC off (configurable).
• Select Wide, Intermediate, Narrow, or Aux filter.
• Toggle RF Attenuation on or off.
• Toggle NB1, NB2, or off.
• Cycle through Tuning Rates (1Hz, 10Hz, or 100Hz). Frequency stepping operates independently of selected Tuning Rate.
• Settable parameters:
• Enable/Disable FM and CW modes in mode selections.
• Frequency pacing. You can control the pacing of frequency up and down. This is how fast the frequency changes when you hold the CH+/- keys.
• Define up to five User Tuning Steps.Status LED that shows communications status, normal position of BWC and PBS controls, settable parameter entry, and clear key operation.
